This unique concept seeks to delve into the rich rhythmic traditions found in both
Classical and Folk music, exploring these elements in innovative and experimental ways.

By doing so, TÄ€L FRY aims to create new experiences and connections with its
audience, celebrating the cultural heritage
and the art of rhythm through performances and interactive events.
Varun Rajasekharan
Ghatam | Puliyotharai
Tamarind, infinite references to A R Rahman, Pancham Da and film music; copious amounts of Raga Maand and red chillies; restaurant recommendations from every corner of India, and a special love for layered rhythmic grooves and Andhra Bhawan meals!
Saptak Sharma
​
Tabla | Dal Bhaat
The quintessential Pahadi Dal, the essential playlist with Yanni and Ustad Shahid Parvez Ji in it; the dream to own a garage filled with German cars, and a desire to learn compositions from each Gharana , served hot with the funniest jokes and an infectious laugh!
Soumendra Goswami
Sitar | Biryani
invariably followed by gulab jamuns/Thums Up, the inability to function without listening to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Dream Theater; countless days spent with the sitar and books on physics, topped off with a generous drizzle of Raga Kaunshi Kanada and Bhapa Ilish!
Ravinder Rajput
​
Cajon/Flute | Paneer Butter Masala
An ideal world without any veggies in it, mastery over the Taasha and Taash; the ability to use wind to bowl Jaffas galore and play the most soothing melodies; with a knack for creative comebacks and thunderous percussive fills on the side!
Manohar Balatchandirane
Mridangam | Pizza Quattro Formaggi
…and five more layers of cheese, perfect recall of every Zakir Ji solo; an intense urge to own every piece of tech there is; a penchant for polyrhythms, garnished with an endless supply of Kandhari Kishmish and an undying love for Raga Gorakh Kalyan!
Mahavir Chandrawat
​
Dholak/Naal | Chole Bhature
unwavering loyalty to Radhe Shyam from Paharganj, unconditional love for Lata Ji and Zakir Ji, unbridled passion for Mughlai food, and an unintelligible dislike for pizzas, pastas et al; an instinctive feel for folk rhythms, complete with a sweet and nostalgic Kumar Sanu melody!
