Music has always been a part of Sikh religious tradition, and not surprisingly one often comes across Sikh tabla players.
I came across The Tabla Guy, Gurpreet Channa on You tube
I looked up more about him and discovered another superb artist.
But more surprises were in store for me. I don't know the name of this artist, but here is yet another amazing tabla player.
More surprises. Here is the biggest one. Rohan Singh Bhogal. This Canada born Sikh has already performed at the harballabh samellan, India's most prestigious samellan.
More details can be had about this wonderful talent and student of Ustad Zakir Hussain at the website. http://www.virtuosoprodn.com/ including some downloads. He has already performed with the likes of Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.
But if you are mesmerised by this, please look up this 12 year old Saranjot Singh doing the teeen taal.
Wah Ustad Wah!

I have seen Rohan play tabla, it made me cry because I was so moved by his skill at his young age. His skills are beyond any other student of Zakir Hussain, I have heard Zakir considers him one who will be the torch bearer of his style of playing. If he's ever in town, don't miss his conert, you'll never regret attending it.
