Shri (born Shrikanth Sriram in Mumbai, India) is a leading light in the British Asian music scene. His work combines traditional Indian musical styles with Bhangra, Jazz, and Drum 'n' Bass. Trained as a classical tabla player, Shri is multi-instrumentalist whose range also includes the Indian Bamboo flute and bass (in which he is largely self-taught). His trademark instrument is one he designed himself, a fretless bass played with a bow. Wikipedia
