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.

Live Sound vs. Recording – Two Worlds of Music
In this episode, I dive into the contrast between live performance and studio recording—two different experiences that shape the way we create and hear music.
🎵 Live vs. Studio: What’s gained, what’s lost—does one capture more soul than the other?
🛕 The Oral Tradition: In Indian classical music, we internalize and master compositions before performing—but how does this influence the transition from stage to studio?
🎻 Orchestration & Overdubbing: With limited funding for live concerts, how do artists expand their sound through recording techniques?
There’s no right or wrong—just different approaches to bringing music to life.
