Zakir Hussain, Kala Ramnath, and Jayanthi Kumaresh came together for the first time as a trio for the 2022 Triveni tour in the US. Leading Indian classical exponents of their respective instruments - Tabla, Violin and Saraswati Veena - each is also renowned as a virtuoso collaborator, pathbreaker, and educator, advancing the art of their particular instruments to remarkable levels in the context of their Indian classical traditions and beyond. Feted and honoured globally with numerous awards, each has successfully toured all over the world with their own acclaimed solo projects.Triveni is the mythical site of the union of three sacred rivers in India. The name aptly represents the confluence of the varied musicality the three maestros bring to this unique collaboration in the sphere of Indian Classical music – an intricate, seamlessly woven tapestry of rhythm, notes, beats, and sounds rooted in the country’s northern (Hindustani) and southern (Carnatic) classical music traditions.
A hallmark of global percussion luminary Zakir Hussain’s iconic career has been his groundbreaking work at the forefront of brilliant musical dialogues between Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) music. With Kala Ramnath, an innovative representative of North Indian raga tradition, Jayanthi Kumaresh, the leading exponent of the ancient South Indian Veena, and Zakir Hussain seamlessly stitching North and South Indian rhythm traditions to provide a bridge for veena and violin to meet, Triveni promises to be a fluent, joyous and entirely original musical conversation - a sonic experience of the highest order.
