طبلہ نواز
A tabla player; a highly skilled percussionist who masters the art of playing the tabla, a pair of hand drums that form the primary rhythmic foundation of North Indian classical music. A "طبلہ نواز" is much more than a drummer; he is a mathematician of time, a poet of rhythm, and a conversationalist who uses his drums to speak a complex language of syllables ("بول") and rhythmic cycles ("تال"), capable of both providing a steadfast rhythmic framework and executing breathtakingly complex solo improvisations.
