 Music, it's the best definition for the power of a journey. For some time now, Indian classical music has been in a need for revitalization and reinvention. And there has been many maestros who have been working towards this aim. One of them is Pandit Devyang Vakil. And over 12 years ago, he created his first group, tabla composition, which can also be called a tabla fusion. We are Talavya, his contemporary classical tabla ensemble. Rishi Vakil will take us a little bit further on what we're going to be hearing today. Sound and rhythm. The most powerful two elements of the universe. Tabla offers both of them. Great variety of sounds. We have open sounds and all the sounds we play here can be spoken. We have sounds like ta. Can you hear that? Ta. Tin. Din. We have flat sounds like theta. Cut. When we mix the treble and bass drum, it becomes more melodious like da. Da din din da. Da da din din da. When we mix these sounds, these letters, on the platform of rhythm, the rhythm cycle, we make compositions. The rhythm cycle we'll follow today is of 16 beats. The composition is actually in four different parts, four different stages of speed. Today, we'll present the slowest and the fastest. The slowest part, we'll start right away. Tabla, thank you so much. Thank you. That was the slowest part. And now we'll go fast.
