"Bickram Ghosh is probably the greatest tabla player to ever perform at the Chicago Symphony Hall"

“From the moment our musical journey with Bickram Ghosh began in Calcutta, India took hold of us and wouldn’t let us go. We marvelled at this vast country with its rich cultural and historical past, its people, contrasts, colours, odours, noise, humidity, the clouded perfumed air, and the luxuriant vegetation. We came away with a new musical sense, a rhythmic richness, and a feeling of wonder which has not left us these many months since….

And the music, music the way we like it to be, a shared experience from very first notes we exchanged with Bickram the tablas virtuoso…”

"Bickram Ghosh  has definitely given a different dimension to the concept of fusion."

Amjad Ali Khan, sarod maestro

"Bickram’s music “ has that unique quality of being at once wildly exciting and also deeply moving. Bickram's uncanny tabla skills and love for intricate rhythmic patterns inject a fire and pulse which are impossible to resist. Delicious flashes of Latin or Middle-Eastern flavours blend seamlessly into his concoction, a fusion which stands above many of today's stale attempts at musical integration which are happening in India. Yet through all the frantic travels among rhythms and cultures runs a wistful, haunting pull that is inherently, timelessly Indian."

Anoushka Shankar, sitar artist
