ABOUT
The Festival of Tabla™ (FOT) is a musical tapestry woven with threads of tradition and innovation. As the largest gathering of Indian Classical musicians on the West Coast, it's more than a festival - it's a cultural symphony. We've set a global stage where Tabla solos resonate alongside instrumental virtuosos, vocal maestros, and mesmerizing dance pieces. Here, rising talents share the spotlight with seasoned artists, creating a melodic mosaic, where every note tells a story. From India to the U.S., exceptional artists converge at the Festival where an unbiased platform provides for fresh voices to echo throughout the ages. The experience is beyond the music, and more about building bridges. FOT uplifts artists, fostering a vibrant sense of belonging, because it's not just about the performances, it's about weaving connections within the world music and arts community.
