Karamchand Maharaj

This Maestro of Indian Music Karamchand Maharaj started playing the harmonica from 8 years old. Later on he was drawn to the harmonium and the tabla. He had a natural and early love for melodious music and adoration for Indian musicians. After hearing the Acme Dil-E-Nadan Orchestra play one night, he asked to join the band, which led to a most rewarding relationship with the brothers Bisram and Ramnarine Moonilal from whom he learnt many techniques. He successfully competed in Mastana Bahar, played the clavolin with Harry Mahabir and the BWIA National Indian Orchestra. He then joined with some friends and relatives to form the Melo Bugs Orchestra with whom he played the keyboard until he migrated to Canada in 1972. In Canada he played with Bobby’s Naya Afsana for five years and then covered a wide spectrum of musical experiences. He has mastered the keyboard but remains fascinated with the tabla and have experimented with the bongos, dholak, guitar and even the harpsichord. His musical creativity and personal magnetism has endeared him to artistes from India, Pakistan and the Caribbean for whom he provided musical accompaniment. These include Hemant Kumar, Manna Dey, Mehdi Hassan, Jagjit Singh, Pankaj Udhas, Mussarat Majeed and Rajkumar Rizvi. Caribbean artistes include Sundar Popo, Anand Yankaran, Polly Sookraj and many more. He has provided music for over twenty musical albums for some of these singers. Karamchand has now completed 4 instrumental albums including Innovations 1&2, Innovations 3&4, Innovations 5 and Inovations 6. A personal audition with the Legendary Music Director Naushad a few years ago sparked his creativity to a new dimension. Karamchand continues to make the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago very proud with his innovative style and magical melody.
