kanthe maharaj

This is a clip of Kanthe Maharaj playing a tabla solo. Maharaj ji was a disciple of Baldeo Sahai, of the Banaras gharana. Kanthe Maharaj was the guru (and uncle) to Kishan Maharaj, and also taught Ashu Babu (Pt. Ashutosh Bhattacharya). This solo is in nine matras. It is matt taal - which can be counted also in 18. (In Kathak dance it is also performed in 4 1/2 in drut speed). Unlike other tabla players, Kanthe Maharaj used a series of tukras to make a solo. The sound is heavy by today's standards, and the usual beauty of tabla is not apparent. Thanks to Shen Flindell for the photos.
