In this inaugural episode, Ritesh Das takes listeners on a heartfelt journey into the origins of the Toronto Tabla Ensemble (TTE). Discover the vision and passion that led him to establish TTE in 1991, and how he set out to introduce and blend the art of tabla with diverse musical genres and cultures. At a time when few in Toronto, Canada, even knew what tabla was, forming an ensemble and building awareness posed significant challenges. Ritesh shares personal stories of overcoming these obstacles, bringing Indian classical rhythms to a new cultural landscape, and his mission to create an ecosystem where tabla can flourish and inspire. From navigating cross-cultural collaborations to building a thriving community of tabla enthusiasts, this episode offers a deep dive into the transformative power of rhythm, tradition, and innovation.
