Pandit Kamalesh Maitra, “Raag Deen Todi,” Table Tarang - Melody on Drums (Smithsonian 1996)
“Pandit Kamelesh Maitra is the last master of the tabla tarang, a melodic instrument consisting of between ten to sixteen tuned tabla. Tarang means “waves” and aptly describes how rhythm and melody, even harmony, are woven into one flowing element. Trilok Gurtu, known for his eclectic percussion artistry in the jazz world, accompanies on tabla.”
