Anindo Chatterjee

Anindo Chatterjee

Anindo Chatterjee has been played on NTS shows including Nāda Sonics w/ Sway of the Verses, with Raga Yaman Kalyan first played on 27 June 2019.

Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is a rare phenomenon in the art of tabla playing. Throughout history, a few artists stand out in each generation. They preserve their heritage while defining it anew, marking its evolution in time. Anindo Chatterjee is one of those rare few. His power and speed combined with total clarity and sweetness is unparalleled and speaks of years of backbreaking practice. His vast knowledge of repertoire and ability to improvise in every style of tabla playing make him invaluable to Indian music. The spontaneity and intuitiveness of both his accompaniment and his solo improvisations speak of the depth of his artistry and leave his audiences speechless. Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is one of the great musicians of our time.

"Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is one of India's greatest tabla maestros." (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, President of India)

"He has performed with me all over the world. He has a kind on talent which always adds to the flavour and tempo of music." (Pt. Nikhil Banerjee)

"In 75 years of my music life I have seen only two tabla players who have been able to maintain perfect clarity while playing at extreme high speed. One is the late Pt. Anokhilal Mishra, and the other is our Anindo. He is the pride of our country." (Pt. Kishan Maharaj)

"Anindo Chatterjee's brilliant tabla does both a percussive and harmonic service to the music." (George Harrison)

"For me it has been a great joy whenever I have performed with Anindo. I have always admired his tonal quality, virtuosity, and effortless playing of tabla" (Pt. Ravi Shankar)
