Tabalchi Zaheer-Abbas Janmohamed is active in Toronto's vibrant local beat-making and producer community. Drawing on diverse cultural and artistic influences and on his classical training, he combines tabla repertoire together with elements of Western styles like hip hop, electronic, jazz, and soul music through the use of samplers and controllers. Janmohamed preserves the integrity of traditional classical tabla while exploring methods of incorporating it in new and innovative contexts.
