Tabla Beyond Borders: Life, Spirit, and Rhythm with Ritesh Das
This podcast is a space for real conversations—about rhythm, discipline, and the deeper purpose behind music. Hosted by tabla teacher and composer Ritesh Das, each episode brings together musicians, students, spiritual practitioners, and cultural workers to explore what tabla—and art itself—can reveal about life.
We speak about tradition without being bound by it. We talk honestly about the path—its doubts, its rigour, its joy. Music here is not entertainment. It’s practice. It’s presence. It’s a way to listen.
Whether you’re a student, an artist, or someone walking the inner path, these conversations invite you to reflect, question, and remember what really matters.

Balance in Life, Rhythm, and Melody
In this reflective episode of Tabla Beyond Borders with Ritesh Das, we welcome Isabelle Delaney from Montreal, a gifted percussionist whose journey with tabla and congas offers profound insights into life and balance. Through Ritesh's teaching philosophy—rooted in ear training and recitation—Isabelle discovered not only rhythm but also a deeper sense of harmony in her musical and personal life.
Together, they explore how the principles of focus, balance, and melodic expression transcend instruments and apply universally—whether you’re a musician, a professional, or simply seeking purpose. Isabelle also shares how her children inspired her to reconnect with her passion for music and how rhythm serves as a bridge between cultures, ideas, and even life’s challenges.
This soulful conversation reminds us that life, like music, is a rhythm to embrace, a balance to maintain, and a melody to cherish
