Amyt Datta
Amyt Datta is a guitarist, composer, producer and educator from Kolkata. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the most innovative musicians in the country. Over the nearly five decades that Datta has nurtured the guitar as his go-to instrument, his music has undergone a sea change. Pop, rock, and jazz inflexions have given way to a fusion of sound colours which refuses to be tied to any distinct genre. Datta now uses his music to showcase concepts, emotions, memories and moods – as though painting from a palette of auditory impulses. Never one to rest on the mastery he has come to acquire on his instrument, he continually pushes forward into new creative frontiers.
