Held for the second consecutive year in Colombo, ‘Taal Tantra Tantric Rhythms’ featuring international music group, Taal Tantra, will take place on 22 March at the Musaeus College Auditorium. Pt.

Speaking about the upcoming performance, Anirvan Ghosh Dastidar, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered said: “It is with great pleasure that Standard Chartered presents Pt. Tanmoy Bose live in concert to Sri Lankan music lovers once again. The Sri Lankan culture is deeply enriched by the arts and we see a trend of mounting appreciation for art in all its forms now more than ever. Musical experiences such as ‘Taal Tantra Tantric Rhythms’ provides an opportunity, we hope, for local artists and music enthusiasts to indulge in their passion for music and experience a new and vibrant sound.”

The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist is known for his close association with Pandit Ravi Shankar with whom he travelled and played regularly at venues around the world. The maestro has also worked in collaboration with many other Indian musical legends, such as Anoushka Shankar and Amjad Ali Khan; experimenting with Jazz, Indian classical music, folk music and indigenous drumming. Pt. Tanmoy Bose is the founder of Taal Tantra, which roughly translates to ‘a meditation on rhythm’. The band which has emerged as one of the world’s foremost music bands over the years plays regularly to audiences in Mid-East, North America, Europe and India. ‘Taal Tantra Tantric Rhythms’ is presented by Standard Chartered in partnership with Taj Samudra Hotel and Ogilvy Public Relations; the hospitality and PR partners for the event.
