About

Taal Inc. & Friends is a band that brings together talented musicians to play traditional West African folk music in a refreshingly contemporary manner. This endeavor represents a fusion of classic West African melodies, vibrant afro rhythms, captivating percussive melodies, and infectious basslines, interspersed with exhilarating improvisational segments. In essence, it offers a delightful musical experience that appeals to a diverse audience, with each composition weaving a narrative that is fresh, dynamic, and inclusive. 

From its pulsating rhythms to its lively melodies, every song exudes a sense of joy, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its infectious energy and dance along to the beat. Taal Inc. & Friends is the brainchild of Varun Venkit, who emerges as a maestro of rhythm, seamlessly blending his expertise as a drummer, percussionist, and djembe player with a deep understanding of traditional West African percussion. 

With over a decade dedicated to exploring the rhythmic world of Mandingue percussion, Varun has become a trailblazer in spreading traditional djembe technique in India since 2010. His passion for rhythms and folk tunes from West Africa and India finds expression through this band. 

At the helm of Taal Inc. & Friends, Varun Venkit leads a stellar lineup of musicians, including renowned figures such as Sanjay Divecha on guitars, Gandhaar Amin on flute, Gino Banks on drums, Sheldon D'Silva on bass, Rahul Wadhwani on keys, and vocalists Sharmistha Chatterjee and Pratika Gopinath. Together, they craft a musical experience that transcends boundaries, blending traditional West African folk tunes with contemporary flair.

Taal Inc. & Friends offers a musical journey that is both culturally rich and universally appealing, promising a treat for every kind of listener.
