On Saturday 24th March 2018 a Kathak Tabla Workshop was held with tabla maestro Pt. Abhijit Banerjee!! A first of its kind event, to be held in Australia.
Ghungroo School of Dance hosted a Tabla and Kathak Workshop with Pt. Abhijit Banerjee, a renowned classical musician of the highest calibre – visiting Melbourne from India. Senior students of the school performed Kathak with live accompaniment – Pt. Banerjee on the Tabla and Rahul Bhattacharya playing Lehera on Sarod. The students were fortunate enough to perform complex layakari, chhagun (6 times) and aatgun (8 times) chhanda, ginti ke bol to Pt. Banerjee’s electrifying renditions on the tabla. They also learnt and performed many new bols (compositions) from the maestro. Prior to this Pt. Banerjee has accompanied Kathak with the likes of Pt. Birju Maharaj and Pt. Chitresh Das. Pt. Banerjee appreciated the dancers for their sincere effort in performing complex footwork to live music.
