#darbarfestival | “To really learn you have to practice - you have to go crazy really. I played 12 hours a day, renting a room away from the city and focusing on my riyaz.” (Sanju Sahai)

Learn more about the music:
Precise, powerful, and intricately funky, Sanju ‘Vishnu’ Sahai embodies the Benares tabla gharana. As the sixth generation of his family’s illustrious rhythm lineage, he was born into rhythm. His talent was recognised early - at age 9 he was playing major festivals, and completed his music degree at 13 with a Masters following at 18. He is mindful of diluting classical tabla styles, but this has not stopped him taking them into a breathtaking array of contexts. Alongside accompanying top Hindustani musicians he has collaborated with artists spanning flamenco and jazz to opera and Gregorian chant. He has played in schools and prisons as well as for the Queen, and tutors tabla at SOAS in London. Today he lives in the UK, and travels the globe as a star accompanist and soloist.
Here he plays some Benares compositions in the 16-beat tintal cycle, demonstrating his command of the tabla’s full sonic range. Listen to Sanju’s full performances on the Darbar player, accompanying Prattyush Banerjee’s sarod on Patdeep and Dr. Prabha Atre’s vocals on Shyam Kalyan:

Sanju: “Once I was asked to perform with the Sugababes. The manager wanted me to sit on stage and mime rather than play. I told them “you’ve got the wrong guy - I practice this music 12 hours a day. I love it and this way does not allow me to respect it.”
Recorded for Darbar on 27 Oct 2018, at London’s Barbican Centre
