Zakir Hussain, Kala Ramnath, and Jayanthi Kumaresh have come together for the first time as leading Indian classical exponents of their respective instruments—tabla, violin, and Saraswati veena—for the Triveni tour. Triveni is the mythical site of the union of three sacred rivers in India, and the name aptly represents the confluence of the varied musicality the three maestros bring to this collaboration. With Kala Ramnath representing the North Indian raga tradition, Jayanthi Kumaresh the ancient South Indian veena, and Zakir Hussain seamlessly stitching North and South Indian rhythm traditions, Triveni promises to be a fluent, joyous, and entirely original musical conversation and sonic experience of the highest order.
