Personal life and education edit
Pt. Kane was born into a Konkanastha Brahmin family in 1954 and attended Parle Tilak Vidyalaya. Pt. Kane was drawn to the Tabla after his brother, Mukund Kane, took to Tabla under Pt. Pandharinath Nageshkar of the Farukhabad Gharana. Influenced by his brother, Pt. Kane began his journey in Tabla. After Pt. Kane witnessed a performance with Utd. Zakir Hussain on Tabla, he wished to learn under the young master. Captivated by the balance, clarity and creativity of Utd. Zakir Hussain's style, Pt. Kane immediately asked for him for tutelage. In 1975, Pt. Kane became a Gandabandhan disciple of Utd. Alla Rakha and began learning under both father and son.[1]
