Jugalbandi: Instrumental Conversations

I love the art of the jugalbandi, the musical dialogue between two instruments. I have been blessed to accompany a variety of instruments, including the sitar, sarod, santoor, and violin, creating a unique chemistry with each artist on stage.

Accompanying the Voice

There is a special responsibility in accompanying a vocalist. My role is to provide a steady, yet expressive, rhythmic canvas that supports the emotional and technical nuances of their performance, whether it's a Khayal, Thumri, or a devotional piece.

Tabla Solo: The Drum Takes Center Stage

In a solo recital, the tabla becomes the lead voice. This is where I can fully explore the rich repertoire of the Farukhabad gharana, presenting rare compositions taught to me by my Guruji, Pandit Subhankar Banerjee, and improvising to create a captivating rhythmic narrative.

Rhythm in Motion: Tabla for Kathak Dance

Accompanying Kathak is a unique and exhilarating experience. It involves a dynamic interplay between the tabla bols and the dancer's footwork, creating a powerful synergy of sound and movement. I am always excited for opportunities to collaborate with dancers.

In My Guru's Footsteps

Everything I am as a musician, I owe to my Guruji, the late Pandit Subhankar Banerjee. He was not just a teacher but a guiding light. This section is a humble tribute to his memory, his music, and his vision, which I strive to carry forward.

Rehearsals & Riyaz: The Daily Sadhana

The magic on stage is born from countless hours of dedicated practice, or 'riyaz'. This is where the real work happens, whether it's a solo practice session at dawn, a warm-up before a show, or a collaborative rehearsal with fellow artists.
