He goes by the name of Evergreen Karun on Youtube. He is visually impaired and is 75 years' old. He has been playing harmonica for more than 50 years and has been a student of legendary Milon Gupta. Karun has given several public performances in the USA where he has been living now. He is originally from Shillong.
This is what he writes about himself by way of introduction on his Youtube channel:
" I am an artist by profession, and have been performing music on the harmonica as a hobby for the last fifty years. I learnt this art from the late Milon Gupta, the famous harmonica maestro of India in the mid-'50s. I enjoy playing both Eastern and Western music, and have performed the harmonica (or mouth organ) at various public performances in the United States and in India.
I am a member of the Society of the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica (www.spah.org) since 2000. I am now visually handicapped due to macular degeneration since my early 30s, and playing the harmonica is my life."
Here are a few of his renditions:
