This is Peshkar from Aloke's performance in Hollywood in 1998. The audio was recorded by Danny Carey & the video was done by Maynard James Keenan of Tool. The recordings from this performance is what was later mixed down to create Aloke's album "The Window".

From the CD insert:
Tabla music begins with peshkar. All nine sentiments of Indian aesthetics are present in this composition. It creates a mood of divine serenity. This piece is set to the 16-beat time cycle (4+4+4+4) of tintala

Aloke is one of(if not THE) best Tabla player walking around the Earth these days. I've literally seen this guy bend the matrix with blurring speed right in front of me as well as the ability to shift to any given meter (or fraction meter) at any tempo, at will...check him out, and buy something from the guy if you dig the music: tabla players have to eat too! ;)

  • Thanks for this. For many months i was looking for more than one video of Aloke Dutta

  • You're welcome, it's our honor to host this video for him really.

    Not sure if you saw this already or not, but he just released video of his last show (oct 09) in Los Angeles as a download for $5. That performance was awesome, and the video caught some of the coolest parts of it.

see all

  • i had no idea the tabla could be so illustrative. this playing is profound! the trick for me is to close my eyes and listen. watching the video prevents my imagination from carrying this piece to where it should go.

  • I love how I'm a guitar player/singer and I'm still in love with this guy hahaha

  • 3:18 YES

  • I am a HUGE Aloke Dutta fan, I have 3 of his CD's, and they're signed by him! So rich and beautiful-his tabla playing has melody as well as rythm. You can check him out on My Space too.
