never heard of that instrument

 

[~dave~~wave~]

never heard of that instrument

1967, Sgt Pepper, Within You Without You was likely the first time most of us heard those drums from India, without knowing the name or what they looked like.
Then the great All Rakha playing with Ravi Shankar at Monterey Pop & Woodstock showed up in films.

Chatur Lal, Shankar Ghosh are some other great tablaists.
