EKA: A Grand Percussion Concert in Eka Talam at Gayana Samaja

EKA is a unique percussion concert presented by Fiddling Monk as the grand finale of the Talapravaham Concert Series. Built around the concept of Eka Talam, one of the foundational rhythmic cycles in Carnatic music, the concert brings together an exceptional ensemble of percussion maestros for an evening dedicated entirely to rhythm and improvisation. 

Featuring accomplished artists on Mridangam, Kanjira, and Ghatam, the performance explores the intricate mathematics, creativity, and energy that define South Indian percussion traditions. Through solo passages, ensemble interactions, and dynamic rhythmic dialogues, EKA promises an exhilarating musical experience celebrating the artistry and spirit of Carnatic percussion.
