Every performance for me is an ek koshish (my humble attempt) to keep that tradition alive and real. I speak through the bols, hoping you feel the soul in every beat. ### What I Offer - My live tabla shows are rooted in the Punjab Gharana, always leaning into soulful expression and rhythmic grace. - I’m based in Mumbai and Delhi, but I travel all over India for concerts, festivals, and spiritual gatherings. ### Performance Styles - **Tabla Solo Recital (Baithak Style):** For those who want to experience tabla in its truest form. Expect classic compositions—Kayada, Rela & Gat, Tihai—and a journey through taals like Teentaal, Jhaptaal, Rupak. Usually, there's a harmonium lehra backing me up. - **Classical Tabla Accompaniment:** Whether it’s with vocalists, ghazal singers, or instrumentalists (especially in jugalbandi tabla performance with sitar or even in fusion), I love the dialogue that happens on stage. - **Live Tabla for Devotional Events:** For me, playing at spiritual gatherings or Gurbani Kirtan is a blessed haazri. My tabla brings its own vibe to bhajans and kirtans. ### My Roots I’m a student of the Punjab Gharana, shaped by my guru Ustad Joginder Singh Ji. Whatever I play is a blessing from my family and teacher. In a world full of filters, I just try to keep it original. Your blessings, bas wahi chahiye (that’s all I need). ## Highlights Browse through Surjeet Singh's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/surjeetsinghofficial_/live-tabla-performances/featured) - [Video: A traditional Chakradar in Teentaal, a composition of my Dada Guru, Ustad Allarakha Khan Sahab.
