Whether you are hosting a formal classical baithak or a lively fusion event, my focus remains on the clarity of the bols and the resonance of the drums, ensuring the sound cuts through clearly for every guest in the room. ### The Rhythm of the Punjab Gharana My approach to the tabla is rooted in the powerful yet graceful style of the Punjab Gharana. This cluster showcases the range of my work, from the mathematical precision of a traditional Chakradar in Teentaal to the soulful improvisations required in Jugalbandi or Ghazal accompaniment. ### My Performance Philosophy Music, for me, is a form of service. Whether it is performing at the Virasat Sangeet Mahotsav or offering a devotional haazri at a Gurdwara, the intent is to connect with the audience through rhythm. * **Solo Recitals:** I explore the traditional arc of a performance, moving from Peshkar to Qaida and Rela, often explaining the technical nuances to the audience as I go. * **Collaborations:** I frequently work with vocalists, sitar players, and fusion bands. The dialogue between instruments is where the magic happens. * **Devotional & Spiritual:** Playing for Kirtan or bhajans is a different kind of energy, where the tabla acts as a meditative heartbeat. ### Planning Your Event I am based in Mumbai and Delhi but travel across India for concerts and festivals. If you are planning an event, consider the nature of your space. A solo recital works best in a quiet, acoustic-friendly environment, while fusion setups require professional sound engineering to ensure the percussions blend perfectly with modern instruments. I am always happy to discuss the scale of your event and how we can bring the right rhythm to your stage. ## About Surjeet Singh For me, tabla is not just music; it is a spiritual journey. I am a student of the Punjab Gharana, trying to speak the language of bols with sincerity and stay original in a world full of filters.
