Earlier this month, 24-year-old dancer Eshna Kutty had garnered attention online after a video of her dancing to the popular song ‘Genda Phool’ in a saree and sneakers went viral. Now, another performer seems to have left netizens impressed after a video of her playing a cover of “Sea Of Lies” by American metal band Symphony X on her bass guitar while adorning a saree went viral.
Tweeted by user @sashiwapang is a video of Nilanjana Ghosh Dastidar playing the song while fusing traditional Indian and Western metal. “After Mohini Dey, this is another jaw-dropping Bengali lady bassist. Sea of lies by Symphony X. Bass Cover by Nilanjana Ghosh Dastidar,” wrote the user while sharing the clip.
