NICOLAS MORTELMANS

Next month, the Belgian W.E.R.F. record label will release an album by Nicolas Mortelmans, a Belgian sitar player.

Nicolas Mortelmans is a passionate sitar player and multi-instrumentalist from Antwerp, Belgium. Nicolas is a fusion sitar player and student of Indian classical music. In 2010, he bought his first sitar and left for India. He fell in love with the mystical sounds of the sitar and immersed himself in it. For the next 7 years, he went to India every winter to study the traditional way with different sitar masters. Since 2017, he has been trained by the world-renowned Anoushka Shankar.

The album features an impressive list of guests, including Roland Van Campenhout, Stef Kamil Carlens and Tim Vanhamel !

Intrigued? I sure was.
