Talavya (High Energy Indian Percussion) at UAlbany April 25, 2013

Rousing peaks.
Smooth meditative passages.
Complex rhythms with
split-second perfection.
Vibrant and gifted artists with spiritual depth and technical excellence.

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. The ensemble 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.
