Kanada Narahari is an Indian born Sitar player and singer. He spent his childhood in a small town called Adichunahcanagiri near Bangalore in southern India where his father was teaching Sanskrit philosophy in traditional Sanskrit college. Kanada's early exposure to the music was at home where his mother taught him devotional singing and his father taught him singing spiritual Sanskrit hymns. Growing up, when he was 9 years old, he started learning Carnatic classical vocals from Vidushi Shridevi Aravind. After spending some years under Vidushiji, he began to develop an interest in Hindustani Classical music and was particularly attracted to the Sitar. This then began a new journey. At the exciting age of 22, he started learning sitar from renowned sitar player Sanjeev Korthi. Kanada has travelled and performed widely in India, Nepal, Middle East, South Africa and United states.
