Himmet Bahra

Himmet’s musical journey began at the young age of 5, with formal Tabla training from Ustaad Harkirat Singh Rayatt. Between the ages of 6 and 20 years old, Himmet attended annual Chakardar Summer Schools which encompassed sessions led by world- leading Tabla players and musicians. Himmet has therefore had the privilege of learning from the late Guru Acharya Pandit Shankar Ghosh Ji, setting a robust musical foundation.

At age 20, Himmet Singh became a disciple and student of the world-famous Tabla Maestro, Taal Yogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar, a master of both rhythm and Taal. Having stayed and travelled with his teacher across India, most recently in February 2023, Himmet has had extensive, advanced training on a 1-to-1 basis, in the traditional method of studying Hindustani classical music known as ‘Seena Baseena,’ translating to, ‘from me to you’.
