Abhijit Pohankar is the only classical keyboard singer in India. The father-son team of Ajay Pohankar and Abhijit Pohankar brings together traditional compositions in an amazingly refreshing mould, wrapping the conventional and the trendy together in one melodious pattern. Their albums create a fusion of classical ragas and modern keyboard music. And they have experimented fairly successfully with old semi classical compositions setting them to contemporary sounds and feel.

Strings Album Listing: http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/10/m/singer.4943/
Everytime someone mentions the name 'Strings' in Pakistan, the ever popular Sar Kiye Yeh Pahar comes to mind. This was the popularity that Strings commanded - and most of it being due to the brilliant, 'fun-filled' tracks that the band produced. To everyone's dismay, Strings disbanded in 1996, and it wouldn't be until 2000 when they would come together again to release the sensational Duur - their comeback album. Source:
