Raagas on Tabla - The Tabla Maestro
Pt. Jasraj Ji’s daughter, Durga Jasraj posed a concept to Kedar Pandit of performing Raagas on Tabla. Though Tabla is an instrument heavily used in the classical form of music, it is not much celebrated as one to perform and compose melodies on.
But could this be changed? Can melodies be performed on a Tabla?
As challenging as it was, the genius mind of Kedar Pandit made that happen too.
The concept was called Raagas on Tabla, where Kedar placed 3 Tabla players, each playing two Tablas.
The entire composition was executed in a way to produce Raagas on Tabla. A unique show like this was nothing less than a celebration of music!
Raagas on Tabla carried multiple hit shows all over India, from Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and many more cities.
