Imagine Tupac rapping verses alongside Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. For composer Viveick Rajagopalan, this is more than just a fanciful idea. He has been in search of exploring the potential of blending diverse rhythms and structures of music across genres. The Ta Dhom Project featuring The Dhols of Maharashtra will take stage at the Royal Opera House on Saturday to provide proof of its results.
“The roots of Ta Dhom lie in connecting communities or genres. In defining their individual forms, musical genres also tend to become isolated,” Mumbai-based Rajagopalan explains. As a musician, he sought to eliminate these distinctions. Thus, the Ta Dhom Project came into being in 2017.
