Five boys have reinvented Indian classical music,

revitalising it with a breeze of modernity that has led to its rediscovery by the younger generation. All of them are vocal or instrumental virtuosos, and while they have all received intensive training in the traditional style, they also bring to their performances something of their own individuality as well as musical styles from elsewhere.
