Talavya at UAlbany April 25, 2013

This globe-trotting percussion ensemble brings the Indian hand-drum to center stage, distilling its age-old spirit and practice into a high-energy, highly accessible evening. Rushi Vakil, Kaumil Shah, Sahil Patel and Rahul Shrimali perform works composed by Indian music maestro Pandit Divyang Vakil that are contemporary in feel while full of the richness of classical tabla and are played with the passion and power to express the various emotions of the traditional instrument.
