During these lockdown days, tabla maestro
Bickram Ghosh keeps himself busy and productive as always. He has now come up with a series, ‘Out of the Box’, which features short percussion performances on Facebook. The series has been shot by his wife,
Jaya Seal Ghosh
, a renowned dancer herself.
In these video, you can see two versions of Bickram Ghosh. Getting confused? Well, that’s the entire idea! While Bickramuddin plays traditional tabla, Bickram Sundar can be seen playing the other instrument. Together, they form a virtual
jugalbandi
. The series has garnered a lot of attention.
“I tend to always look at the light, however thin a shimmer it might be. The number of COVID-19 are on the rise, but people are also recovering as we speak. I’m in quarantine and I hope you are. While so, I have decided to take this time doing stuff that in some way or the other breaks the norm; is, simply put, out of the box! Thus, here’s a new series of videos where I communicate out-of-the box as a tabla player, as a composer or as a person. Here I’m going off the beaten track. I think you will enjoy these shorts,” said Bickram, who recently paid his homage to Pandit Ravi Shankar on his birth centenary with a video where along with
Anoushka Shankar, other students of the sitar maestro also played
Sandhya Raga
