Harry Manx has been dubbed an “essential link”
between the music of East and West, creating musical
short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues w
ith the
depth of classical Indian ragas. The resulting soun
d is
uniquely bewitching and deliciously addictive to li
sten
to.
Harry forged this distinctive style by studying at
the feet
of the masters, first as a sound man in the blues clu
bs of
Toronto during his formative years and then under a
rigorous five-year tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt
in
India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Moh
an
Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument
.
