They belong to the famous Maihar Gharana (school or tradition of music), following the tradition of the great masters Ustad Allauddin Khan, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pandit Ravi Shankar. Both Rajeeb and Reena began performing publicly when they were nine years of age. As soloists, and sometimes together, they have participated in all the major music festivals in India, performed extensively in India, the US, Canada, and Western Europe, and have several musical recordings to their names.
