about

“I first heard Hindustani singer Dada Tapan Kanti Baidya at the Silent Barn in 2013 as part of Amirtha Kidambi's (sadly short-lived) experimental/Indian music crossover series, Tongues. I remember the opening sets -- one of free music and one of classical Indian/hybrid forms -- being good, but it was Baidya's performance that burned itself into my memory. I'd been to a handful of performances of Indian Classical music at that point but this was the first time I'd heard anyone sing the slow, smoldering dhrupad style in person. His voice was crystalline. He held tones for improbable lengths of time, fusing, ebbing and flowing with the tanpura drones and Leyna Marika Papach's violin to create an oceanic sense of motion and a suspended sense of time. When the drummer finally dropped (well into the first hour) Baidya's voice became as agile as it had been fluid, rising, falling, punctuating in tight, often odd counter rhythms to the mridangam. It was also the first time I'd encountered this music without it being framed by the pretensions and assumptions that often make "world music" concerts problematic or the relative conservatism of the "official" Indian Classical Music scene. The music seemed unmediated by the more anarchic context of the Silent Barn. He'd taken a risk in stepping into that world, and the audience seemed more than happy to meet him there that night...Tonight is a rare chance to experience this music in an intimate, low key setting. Anyone interested in the sound worlds carved out by the Dagar Brothers, Z.M. Dagar or Pandit Pran Nath should not miss this!” - C.C. May 2018
