Meeting by Waikiki

Hawaii To Calcutta: A Tribute To Tau Moe is a studio album by slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya. Riverboat Records released the album on CD in 2017. The project pays homage to the Hawaiian steel guitar tradition pioneered by Tau Moe while integrating elements of Indian classical music.

The album features ten tracks that blend Hawaiian slide techniques with raga-inspired phrasing. Debashish Bhattacharya composed and performed the material, employing his custom-made lap slide guitars. The second track, Meeting by Waikiki, runs for 3 minutes and 47 seconds. The composition showcases Bhattacharya’s fusion of Hawaiian melodic contours with Hindustani classical ornamentation.

Production details beyond the core credits remain undocumented in available sources. The album cover and liner notes emphasize the cross-cultural dialogue between Hawaiian and Indian musical traditions. Riverboat Records distributed the release as part of its world music catalog, though specific sales figures or chart performance are not publicly recorded.
