The Magic of Santoor Ft. Mangesh Jagtap | From Persian Roots to Bollywood, AI, & Jubin Garg

Welcome to another soulful and deeply emotional episode on Pavelopedia! 🌟 In this episode, we are joined by the brilliant Santoor maestro Mangesh Jagtap. With a career spanning over 25 years—performing everywhere from elite Ambani weddings and reality TV shows to recording blockbusters for Salim-Sulaiman, Amit Trivedi, and Vishal-Shekhar—Mangesh ji brings a wealth of wisdom to the table. We dive deep into the fascinating history of the Santoor (the ancient Shatatantri Veena), tracking its journey from its Persian and Kashmiri Sufi roots to a mainstream classical solo powerhouse, modified forever by the great Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. In an incredibly moving segment of the interview, we also reflect on the legacy of the late icon, Jubin Garg. We discuss what it means to be a "pure soul" in music, the overwhelming love he received from the North East and the entire nation, and how the loss of such authentic legends leaves an unfillable void in the world of art. Key Topics Covered: ~ The structural origins of the 100-stringed Santoor. ~ How Pandit Shivkumar Sharma adapted the instrument for Indian Classical music. ~ Remembering Jubin Garg: The unmatched aura, pure artistry, and lasting impact of a legend. ~ The evolution of Bollywood music: From 100 live musicians to modern VSTs and AI. ~ The future of upcoming musicians in the age of AI. ~ Guru-Shishya Parampara and Mangesh ji's personal bond with the late Pandit Ullhas Bapat.
