The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist is known for his close association with Pandit Ravi Shankar with whom he travelled and played regularly at venues around the world. The maestro has also worked in collaboration with many other Indian musical legends, such as Anoushka Shankar and Amjad Ali Khan experimenting with Jazz, Indian classical music, folk music and indigenous drumming.
Tanmoy Bose is the founder of Taal Tantra, which roughly translates to ‘a meditation on rhythm’. The band which has emerged as one of the world’s foremost music bands over the years plays regularly to audiences in Mid-East, North America, Europe and India.

Tanmoy Bose live in concert to Sri Lankan music lovers once again.

Musical experiences such as ‘Taal Tantra Tantric Rhythms’ provides an opportunity, we hope, for local artists and music enthusiasts to indulge in their passion for music and experience a new and vibrant sound.”
