An evening with "Debashis Dutta"

Recently, after celebrating Deepawali, Harmonica Lovers of Hyderabad met another harmonica lover Mr Debashis Dutta from Bangalore. They had dinner at a restaurant after having a good musical session. HaLoH members enjoyed listening to the renditions by Mr Debashis and also played the harmonica one-by-one.

Mr Debashis Dutta, an Aerospace and Materials engineer by profession, is 55 years old. He is based atBangalore where he had lived and worked for the last 30 years. He did his B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering from BHU-IT and then followed it up with an M.Tech degree each in Aerospace Engg (IIT-Madras) and Materials Engg (IISc Bangalore). He currently works in a senior engineering position for a USbased aerospace MNC in Bangalore. He is a member of harmonica Club of Bangalore.

He is a self-trained mouthorgan player. He got introduced to this instrument when he was about 14/15 years old in high school by his maternal cousin Mr. Satinath Mukherjee who was an accomplished harmonica and piano professional and a contemporary of the great Milon Gupta. His cousin gifted an old Hohner mouth organ to him which he still possesses. What interests him about the instrument is that it is quite versatile, user friendly, a constant companion for every season and every place and produces music that pleases his ears along with everyone else’s ears. Moreover, anyone with an ear for music can learn the instrument on his/her own and give performances.
