Tabla solo, tintal

Excerpts of a tabla solo, recorded in 2003 at an event called 'Tabla Power'* at the University of Toronto. Compositions include peshkar, kayda, gat, paran and rela.
My tabla blog of mini tabla solos is here: http://52kaidas.blogspot.com/

Thanks to my generous tabla teachers: Ritesh Das, Swapan Chaudhuri, Anindo Chatterjee and Subhajyoti Guha.

*the event was originally called 'tabla! Tabla! TABLA!', but the northeast blackout on Aug 14, 2003 postponed it. Hence 'Tabla Power'.

Props to Mandeep S., who motivated me to put this up on the 'tube.

Hey, thanks fellow farker! My blog 52 Kaidas has more recordings, and youtube won't let me post the link, so google will work.

Can someone please link to a tabla video which is even cooler than this one? I would really like to see such a clip. Then I would right the same message there, and eventually, I would have a canon of awesome tabla videos.

Excellent, I like the way Swapanji plays this , the second part is a ustad Ahmed Jaan thirakwa composition, Anindoji plays this with such grace and definition.
