Mumbai Lunchbox: Something instrumental

Musicians Shikhar Naad Qureshi and Sahil Makhija discuss Bollywood, social media, and why metal musicians aren't invited to college festivals

Listen to this article :

The dining table has turned into a drumhead. It vibrates when the fingers of 22-year-old percussionist Shikhar Naad Qureshi strike the edge, epitomising the illustrious dynasty he hails from - grandfather Ustad Allarakha Qureshi, father Taufiq Qureshi, and uncle Zakir Hussain. We've known Qureshi since we were 15 and we mull over how much has changed, other than his passion for music. When Sahil Makhija arrives at Uno Más, an instant camaraderie brews. Makhija, 36, has been a pioneering force in the Indian metal scene, as the frontman of Demonic Resurrection. But by day, he's also the frontman for Headbanger's Kitchen, a popular show on YouTube where he cooks up delicious keto recipes. So, as Qureshi finishes a quick drum roll on the menu cover, Makhija picks up the ordering process, and in a few minutes they're set - like a quick rehearsal. Edited excerpts from the conversation.
