My Compelling Story

Tanmoy Bose is a professional percussionist based out of the capital city of West Bengal, Kolkata. He has been a participant in the Grammy award-winning albums – Full Circle, Carnegie Hall (2000), and Concert for George (2004). This ace globe-trotting new-age percussionist has been performing with the musical legend, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, as early as his college days. Another great milestone in Tanmoy Bose’s life was achieved when the greatest ambassador of Indian classical music Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar invited him to play regularly with him around the world. Today, he spends almost half the year travelling with the legendary maestro. Tanmoy is an ardent researcher and composer. His long tours abroad had given him opportunities to interact and play with musicians, composers, and choreographers. In 2002, his world music project, Taal Tantra, showcasing cross-cultural rhythm and devices, won the hearts of connoisseurs and critics alike. He has been successfully composing music for National Award winning feature films and various other documentaries and ballets. For Tanmoy, music and life are inseparable. Rhythm is his quest for truth and beauty- it transcends all other priorities in his life.
