In addition to his gifts he is very lucky to have one of the most learned and knowledgeable music guru like Pt. Buddhadeb Dasgupta. I found fire in his playing style and this fire will definitely help Soumik to digest all the training from his guru and purify his humanity to become an exemplary Sarod player of the future generation. I pray to almighty God for his success in life.” PANDIT AJOY CHAKRAVARTY................................................. .....................................   “ Soumik is one of the most promising talents amongst new generation musicians in the UK. He plays with a fiery style, detail and exuberance. Soumik’s achievement is also an important statement on a new form of training where the guru-shishya interaction happens periodically but intensely- and has borne great fruit! ” ASIAN MUSIC CIRCUIT, UK.......................................................... ...............................“Soumik Datta, is a rare breed of a musician in multifaceted Britain. As a result he has picked up a majestic but a difficult string instrument, the sarod, and around it he has woven incredible magic notes. Trained under the watchful eye of the distinguished Pandit Buddhadev Das Gupta, Soumik has invoked the spirit of his youth and a zest for his musical journey, a journey which is just beginning. I have heard Soumik on  few ocassions and am impressed with his dedication and love for the Indian musical tradition. I know that I shall be working with this young musician and would like you all to give your support and blessings to Soumik for he is performing in one of the greatest musical cities of the world, Kolkata, where his peers have made a name for themselves.” SAMA ARTS, UK.......................................................... ...............................................“Datta’s performance was awe inspiring leaving the sunburnt crowd ecstatic with what they heard or learnt and proud of their roots if they were Asian.” PARCO DELLA MUSICA, ROME........................................................ .............................. “Technically brilliant: the result of tremendous motivation and natural talent" THE TELEGRAPH, INDIA....................................................... ...............................................“Maintainin g the rules of the classical tradition, Soumik’s Sarod rediscovers Indian music in a very sexy, street smart way… Darjeeling tea meets Coca Cola!” TALVIN SINGH....................................................... ......................................................
