Tabla Performance
Teen Taal (16 beats) Drut Laya (Fast Tempo)
JollyGul.com is pleased to present a tabla performance by Peshala Manoj based on teen taal (16 beats) drut laya (fast tempo).
This presentation is part of JollyGul Indian Classical Music & Dance Series to enhance the awareness and understanding of this tradition in our community and in our audience.
Tabla, the main percussion instrument of North Indian classical music, is popular all over the world. The tabla might have made its presence felt in Hindustani classical music around the early 18th century during the reign of Mohammad Shah Rangeele. Sudhar Khan was basically stationed in Delhi, and therefore his school, or style of playing was called 'Delhi Gharana'. Later on his disciples scattered across various regions of northern India, and with time, several other tabla-playing styles came into being, but the source or the parent style of all these new schools remained the Delhi school. The main tabla schools that emerged and flourished are: Delhi, Ajrada, Lucknow, Farrukhabad, Benaras and Punjab.
The modern tabla needs a highly developed technique of playing, and in the hands of a master player, it is capable of producing almost all the patterns of rhythms and cross-rhythms that a musician can conceive of. The well-established time cycles are rendered in terms of drumming phrases called thekha or measured beat. In a tabla solo, the sarangi or harmonium is played as an accompaniment to maintain the rhythm. In this performance we are presenting today, the sarangi is used for accompaniment.
This tabla performance is performed by Peshala Manoj, a young musician from Sri Lanka. Peshala first started learning tabla from Sri Lanka's veteran tabla teacher P.V Nandasiri. He then studied tabla under Ustad Ilmaz Hussain Khan in Lucknow, India. Ustad Ilmaz Hussain Khan is the son of renowned tabla player Ustad Afaq Hussain Khan.
Peshala Manoj completed B.Mus and M.Mus degrees from Bhatkande College of Music. Currently, he is working in the Faculty of Music at University of the Visual and Performing Arts (Colombo, Sri Lanka) and also working as a professional tabla player in the Sri Lankan music field.
