TORONTO TABLA ENSEMBLE

“I would certainly recommend this world-class caliber ensemble to any festival, World Music venue or independent concert programmer for their unique music, talent, stage presence, professionalism and general demeanour.”

Dan Behrman, Program manager

Montreal International Jazz Festival

“Attending a Toronto Tabla Ensemble concerts can be like visiting a giant laboratory, where artistic director, Ritesh Das plays the role of a master chemist gleefully mixing music and dance from around the world. It is always exciting to see such skilled and experienced dance artists working things out on stage together, rising to meet each other’s skill and the virtuoso musical energy.”

ALBUMS

“Ultimately Bhumika is all about rhythm. The grooves are infectious, giving ample demonstration of why Indian rhythm systems have fascinated Western musicians from George Harrison to John McLaughlin. There is more than enough imagination and zest packed into this album to commend it.”

"Anyone who thinks that it’s hard to make a statement in a song that doesn’t have any lyrics is only partially correct in their assumption – had they heard the beats that the Toronto Tabla Ensemble dispense in the new single “Dream Symposium,” I don’t know that they’d be so sure of their opinion.

“There’s so much we admire about the Toronto Tabla Ensemble. The listening experience of this ensemble is so joyful given the colorful array of talent and musical instrumentation from Eastern culture made fresh and styled a way that also catches and pleases Western ears. We highly recommend this musical journey.”
