  • Absolutely mesmerizing is the only thing that I can say. It puts me into another zone, another place. Awesome skills, he has to be a true master at this type of drumming.

  • I simply adore the tabla! Its earthiness is a perfect compliment to the usually more ethereal solo instruments (sitar, bansuri et al) prevalent in Hindustani music. And Thirakwaji is (based on the videos I´ve seen of him on Youtube) one of the foremost tabla-players in history.

  • Ask the question : What is Tabala?

    Answer: Please listen to Thirkhawa Khan Saheb.

    Tabala players like Khansaheb are born probably once in a century or two!
