Introducing…the unprecedented all-female tabla ensemble, Taalika.  Taalika consists of Jin Won of South Korea, Sejal Kukadia of NY,  and Heena Patel of Toronto.  The three come together to present a classical tabla trio which was composed especially for them by Guruji, Pandit Divyang Vakil.  Taalika recently performed in India in the summer of 2011 (with Maitree Mewada) – here is a look at their performance.  Taalika’s first performance in the USA was at the Nari Concert in New York City, and next they perform in Albany, NY on April 22nd, when they open the concert for Rushi Vakil’s world-fusion band, Taan. 

Taalim School of Indian Music turns 10 this year! 

2012 marks Taalim School’s 10 year anniversary!  Ten years of music, memories and invaluable teachings by Pandit Divyang Vakil…we look forward to the next 10!
