Having a tabla themed show was always going to be fun, and I hope you weren't disappointed.
We had three pieces tonight, the first two being performances in teen taal (16 beats), and the show closer was radically different to anything we've played before. In addition to Ustad Zakir Hussain's tabla beats, there was also the ghatam, the dhol, the dholak and more. One of the most energetic mpieces we've ever had, this ventured away from the mould of Indian Classical and incorporated flavours of Punjabi folk (north India), Rajasthani folk (western India) among others. If you couldn't tune in, make sure you listen to it by playing the tracks on the right sidebar of this blog (link available until 7th of March).
Here are the tracks that played:
1. Pt. Suresh Talwalkar - Drut Teentaal
2. Pt. Swapan Chaudhuri - Vilambit Teentaal
3. Ustad Zakir Hussain - Taal Mela
Join us again next week for another theme-based show!
