Echoes of Tradition: Indian Slide Guitar, Tabla & Instrumental Duet

Something extraordinary is about to unfold. Three of India's finest musical traditions will converge on a London stage for the first time in a dialogue that promises to be as historic as it is hypnotic.

Pt. Debasis Chakroborty of Senia-Maihar tradition takes the stage first with his Indian Slide Guitar. There's magic in the way he plays - that it becomes more than an instrument in his hands. It breathes. It remembers. Each note hangs in the air just a heartbeat longer than you expect pulling you forward in your seat. You don't just listen - you find yourself waiting to see where the next phrase will lead. You'll hear why few artists master its subtlety; it's not about technique alone but about patience about letting each note breathe.

Then the moment London's Indian classical community awaited: Pt. Sanju Sahai meets Ustad Akram Khan in a tabla duet for the ages. With its poetic fluidity Sanju Ji's Benares Gharana style dances with Akram Ji's Ajrara Gharana where precision meets explosive creativity. When these two share a stage at the Bhavan in September it's not just a performance; it's a rare glimpse into how tradition breathes and evolves. You will remember this night for the first-ever London meeting of these tabla legends and gharana traditions colliding live.

This is going to be one of those rare nights where music becomes more than just a performance. It becomes an experience you'll treasure in your memories. When artists of this calibre share a stage every moment feels fleeting and precious. Don't miss your chance to be part of it.
