The traditions of Indian classical music stretch back, literally, thousands of years. But over the past decade or so, there has been a steady stream of South Asian musicians looking to incorporate these ancient musical conventions into the 21st century. Artists such as Anoushka Shankar, the MIDIval Punditz, Karsh Kale, Cheb-i-Sabbah and DJ Rekha are just a few of the artists that have brought this hybrid sound into clubs and concert halls. Another name to add to this list is Suphala, a talented young tabla player, producer and composer who has started making waves in New York’s music scene.
