An intimate evening of tabla, sitar and Jazz drums — three traditions meeting on a single stage. Manmohan Dogra (tabla) joins Etienne Bartholomew (sitar) and Siemy Di (Jazz drums) for a one-night fusion of rhythm and improvisation.
Tāla is the cycle. Ayan is the moving, the seeing, the witnessing. Talayan — the eye of rhythm — is the still presence at the heart of every beat.
This concert takes that single image and asks one question: what conversation can three traditions have when they meet not at the rim, but at the centre? For one night at OMNOM Islington, three artists share a single stage and a single conversation — a tabla rooted in two decades of Banaras Gharana training, a sitar carrying the lyrical voice of melody, and a Jazz kit answering with the language of the West.
This is not fusion as decoration. It is a meeting of equals — listen for the moments where rhythm becomes the bridge.
The artists meeting at OMNOM Islington this June.

The melodic voice that bridges the percussive worlds of tabla and Jazz drums — sitar lines that carry both raga's gravity and improvisation's freedom.

Jazz Drums
London-based Jazz drummer who crosses the kit like a cartographer drawing new maps between East and West — finding the conversation between groove and tihai.
