2009 Grammy Award nominee for world music, Debashish Bhattacharya, a master Indian slide guitarist, will perform on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. in the Recital Hall on UVM's Redstone Campus. The event is sponsored by the Friends of Indian Music and Dance (FIMD), a UVM organization affiliated with the Global and Regional Studies Program.

Bhattacharya was considered a child prodigy as a vocalist before mastering classical slide guitar, on which he is known for an uncanny ability to emulate the human voice. In Sunday's concert he will be accompanied on the tabla by his brother, Subhasis Bhattacharya.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for members of FIMD, and $5 for students.
