Tanmoy Bose's regularly and profoundly intense association with music maestros in the stature of Pt. Ravi Shankar & Ustad Amjad Ali Khan has exposed him to the company and craftsmanship of drummers of international repute and his thorough involvement in their various projects. Tanmoy responded to the music that his soul heard and thus sowed the seed of a future experiment - a musical carnival, the taaltantra.

The name taaltantra comes from taal or rhythm and tantra or occult worship. And here Tanmoy defines music through his in-depth understanding of rhythm.

Tanmoy takes the taaltantra grounds to define the scope of world music as he sees and realises the music sought from the Indian soil. To realise his intention, his fingers glide from drumming the Tabla to a plethora of instruments from all over the globe to catch the spirit of rhythm ruling the universe. The effects thus achieved through the familiar strokes on unfamiliar instruments produced the music of universal harmony.
