Talavya at Vancouver Island MusicFest / Summer Heat Tour July 7, 2012

Talavya's first festival stop on their North American Summer Heat Tour is Vancouver Island MusicFest in Courtenay, BC

ABOUT TALAVYA:
Globe-trotting percussion ensemble Talavya brings the Indian hand-drums tabla to the center stage, distilling its age-old spirit and practice into a high-energy, highly accessible celebration of rhythm. Composed by Pandit Divyang Vakil, the ensemble plays complex rhythmic structures with split-second perfection, gliding between meditative trance and explosive rock drum power.

"We hosted Talavya as part of the Chico World Music Festival and they were a surprise hit for many folks. Fabulous technical expertise, excellent showmanship, and an engaging personality brought scores of new fans to tabla music." - Dan DeWayne, Director, Chico Performances.
