Percussionist Pt Tanmoy Bose has added yet another honour to the many accolades. The tabla virtuoso's photograph has got a stamp issued with his image by the Department of India Post and is happy to share his thoughts on it. "I have been deeply humbled and honoured but most importantly I keep saying that these honours for us are like a sure way forward for the students of classical music. As a student of classical music, I often faced questions regarding my choice of profession and it is the same for many young talents even today. But such recognitions are like validations," he shared. Pt Tanmoy is happy to be able to inspire his students and now belong to the same league as his seniors in the genre of music. "I have been fortunate to share stage with the frontrunners of classical music right from the time I started playing for shows. Before me, there have been several big names who have been adorned with such beautiful recognitions. They are my gurus and I feel blessed to be able to know and work with them," he said.
He agrees that classical music has always been deserving of prestigious awards and highest honours yet it's the social media-made popular music that draws all the attention in our country. When asked how would classical music continue to thrive in its legacy despite such distractions, Pt Tanmoy said, "It does bother classical musicians to see their five hours of riyaz sidelined when a five seconds music reel takes the cake. But the strength is in the knowing that classical music will always have it's highest place and honours intact. People might be floored with a Kacha Badam rendition now but classical music has its own pull."
Kolkata/IBNS: Fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, actor Abir Chatterjee and musician Tanmoy Bose have participated in Pooram 2020 organised by Unmish.
Poornam, an annual event organized by Unmish, a learning centre for differently abled children and adults took a different turn this year.
The event was online with entries by special children for various competitions which spanned over two days.
"The current situation came with its own challenges but also several benefits. We were able to get children from all over the globe to participate with ease,” said founder and principal of Unmish, Nita Diwan.
This year Poornam was celebrated by our children virtually.
The first day’s competition consisted of "Dhwani", a vocal and musical category which enabled children to get a multisensory experience while developing their sensation, perception, and cognitive abilities.
Percussionist Tanmoy Bose, who has a collection of more than 500 musical instruments, uses all of them regularly during recordings or performances. The celebrated musician says he has been collecting the instruments over a span of 25 years from different parts of the world. “I like to collect three types of things — small statues of Ganesha, mementos and musical instruments,” he revealed during an exclusive chat with ETimes. At present, the musician travels to more than five to six countries per year and in the past, when he used to play with Pt Ravi Shankar, he used to stay out of the country for almost nine months a year. “So, I took those opportunities to collect the instruments. They not only satisfied the collector in me but also enriched me as a musician,” he shared with us.
Talking about the instruments, Tanmoy said he has a Vietnamese Don Mai. Though the instrument is regularly used in south Indian classical music, it originated in the Far East. Besides, Tanmoy has an African water drum and a number of Australian aboriginal percussion instruments. “I have some music instruments from Japan and China as well. At present, when I go to a music store, I see I have almost everything. But I still like to look for instruments to add to my collection,” he added.
Besides, these instruments are not just for his collection, but are also used regularly. “That’s the reason why the background scores of films I compose for sound so different,” he added.
Renowned percussionist Pandit Tanmoy Bose and son Shiladitya Bose, who is a progressive drummer and DJ, enthralled the audience at Rhythmania — Season 2 at a city club recently. The occasion brought together a mix of new-age fusion electronica, jazz, fusion beat with raga, world folk, Mediterranean and Indian classical. “Rythmania is a new project of mine and very dear to my heart. This is camaraderie of a platter of sounds and different genres of music. Mainstream Bollywood sounds are also a part of this compilation. My son Shiladitya plays electronica and performs in the name of Mr Bose. I am glad to have him as part of the show along with my brothers of Taal Tantra, which is my world music project,” said Pandit Tanmoy Bose.
The musical extravaganza was enjoyed by the audience before rain played spoilsport and the show had to be interrupted. Mahalakshmi Iyer, who was to join the musicians on stage, was unable to perform because of the weather at the open-air venue. “This brainchild of Pandit Tanmoy Bose is a wonderful concept. It brings together a beautiful musical amalgamation on stage because it comprises all the genres of music. It presents a unique opportunity for artistes,” Mahalakshmi had said before the show.
