Timeline

1927

Lal was born in Varanasi (or Benares), in the northern Indian province of Uttar Pradesh, in 1927.

The oboe-like shehnai had been a musical instrument played in his family for over 200 years.

He initially received tuition on the instrument from his father, Pandit Mithai Lal, as well as his uncles from the age of nine.

Later, Lal became a student of thumri vocal teacher Pandit Mahadev Prasad Mishra of Varanasi.

In addition to the shehnai, Lal played bamboo flute, known as the bansuri.

Following the example of master musician Bismillah Khan, he dedicated his musical career to furthering the role of the shehnai in Hindustani classical music, since the instrument had traditionally been reserved for religious ceremonies.

Lal established himself as a staff artist for All India Radio.

1974

In 1974, Shankar chose Lal to join his Music Festival from India revue, which was the largest Indian orchestra to perform in Europe up to that time.

The debut performance by the Music Festival ensemble, filmed at London's Royal Albert Hall on 23 September 1974, was released on DVD in 2010, as part of Shankar and Harrison's four-disc box set Collaborations.
