# Trilochan Kampli

I'm a tabla player with 29 years of experience in Hindustani classical, ghazals, and thumri. My focus is on creating intimate 'baithak' gatherings where music becomes a conversation that connects us all.

It's about creating a connection, a conversation, and celebrating music together.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/91bec119-e598-405c-bcee-49fb5417db8d)

### My story

Namaskara! I’m Trilochan Kampli, tabla is my world. Been at it for 29 years, played everywhere from big auditoriums to tiny rooms. But honestly? Those small baithaks, where you can just sit, chat, play, laugh with folks – that’s where the real heart of music is. My dad, Shri K.G. Somsekhar, taught me that music is a blessing, something to share. Every show, every tribute, it’s all about connecting and keeping that legacy alive.

### My work

- **Tabla for Every Mood**: I play tabla for Hindustani classical, ghazals, thumri, and also bring live baithak tabla to your space.
- **Real Connection on Stage**: No show-off. I just focus on the music, the vibe, and the back-and-forth with the audience.
- **Collaborative Music**: Love sharing stage with my guru, friends, and family. That’s where traditional chaupaal music shines.
- **Curated Baithaks & Chaupaals**: I organize intimate gatherings with chai, music, and stories—keeping our musical legacy tribute alive.
