When percussion transcends rhythm to become pure conversation
Yashwant Vaishnav
Vivek Pandya
Tanmay Deochake
Prepare yourself to witness the electrifying talents in this unprecedented tabla duet featuring the most celebrated young tabla masters of their generation.
Vaishnav and Pandya - each formidable soloists in their own right - come together in a unique performance that promises to redefine what's possible when hands meet leather and wood. Experience the thunderous intensity of their synchronised kaidas (theme), the mathematical precision of their lightning-fast relas (highly rhythmic composition) and the playful spontaneity of their improvisational jugalbandi (duet).
This is tabla in its purest form—no melodic instruments, no vocals—just an astonishing complexity and emotional range of percussion elevated to high art. Watch as these virtuosos challenge, complement and inspire each other through escalating exchanges that showcase both ancient compositional forms and daring contemporary innovations.
For percussion enthusiasts, this is an unmissable opportunity to witness rhythmic mastery at its zenith. For newcomers, prepare to be astonished by the expressive possibilities of this formidable instrument that speaks, sings, and tells stories without uttering a single word. Book early to avoid disappointment.
