About Press & Recognition
These features map my journey from the disciplined study of the Ajrara Gharana to the stage, capturing moments from my tours with artists like Guy Buttery and my work with my band, Mausiqaar. They are a reflection of the rhythm and clarity I strive to bring to every performance, whether it is a traditional baithak or a high-energy fusion show.
From Tradition to Stage
My music is a dialogue between the old and the new. These articles highlight my path as an 8th generation artist of the Kirana Gharana. You will find features from Rolling Stone India that document my collaborative tours and the specific technical approach I take when blending tabla with western genres.
Fusion and Collaboration
My band, Mausiqaar, is more than just a musical group; it is a creative space where we blend Indian classical sounds with jazz, rock, and folk. The coverage in Indian Talent Magazine and Goyano details our creative process and why we choose to perform at venues like the India Habitat Center or private house concerts. We aim to keep the soul of the music intact, even when we are experimenting with hybrid percussion.
Performance Highlights
Each piece of recognition here serves as proof of my commitment to the craft. I have never missed a gig, and the posters for festivals like the Delhi International Arts Festival reflect the range of my professional commitments. Whether it is a solo tabla performance or an ensemble piece, my goal remains the same—to connect with the audience at that specific point of arrival, the sam, where the rhythm becomes one with the room.
Mohd Amjad Khan
I have spent my life dedicated to the tabla, learning from the masters of the Kirana and Ajrara Gharanas. Whether it is a solo recital or a high-energy fusion set with my band Mausiqaar, I bring the same discipline and respect for the craft to every stage.
