Tasa (classical Indian ragas and talas) April 28, 2005

Tasa was formed in June of 1999. The band was created by tabla player/composer Ravi Naimpally. Though the music of Tasa is rooted in the classical music traditions of north and south India, elements of many of the world traditions are represented. Instruments from India, Brazil, Turkey, and North America blend together in such a way as to create a new and distinctly Canadian voice. The music of Tasa draws from the rich repertoire of ragas and talas from the Indian classical music tradition. Ancient melodic and rhythmic forms are used to create a context for improvisation.
