During the event, Talvin shared key moments from his journey from his formative years studying under Lachman Singh Seen of the Punjab Gharana to pioneering his self-invented Tabla-tronics at his iconic club night, Anokha, at the Blue Note in London. He reflected on his creative process, the albums that defined his career, and the ongoing exploration between tradition and contemporary influences that shapes his work.

The evening featured bespoke performances curated specifically for the event, accompanied by exclusive archival photographs, video footage and recordings that highlighted Talvin’s journey and his impact on music and culture.


This gathering was more than a performance. It was a shared space for dialogue, listening and connection - an experience that transcended boundaries while staying rooted in the traditions and the communal spirit of a Bhaitakh.

A Meeting Rivers event is an intimate gathering that explores an artist’s journey through conversation, performance, and their record collection. Inspired by the South Asian ‘bhaitakh’ tradition, this event offers a unique insight into their life, work and sound.

Hosted by Sach Dhanjal and Kam Bhogal at Ladbroke Hall in London, UK.
