UKARIA - Master Musicians of India The Milind Tulankar Duo
About
This is a rare and special opportunity see and hear one of India’s master musicians perform in Australia for the first time.Milind Tulunkar is an eminent exponent of the Jal Tarang, a unique Indian classical instrument. He has performed in over 21 countries over the last 37 years.
The name Jal Tarang comes from ‘jal’ meaning water and ‘tarang’ meaning ‘the waves in water’. The music is created by the vibration of porcelain bowls filled with water, producing unique melodic tones and harmonic overtones. Talunkar uses the 80-year-old instrument on which his grandfather first instructed him.
Tulunkar will be performing in Adelaide as part of a wider tour of South East Asia and Oceania, with percussionist Shri Ganesh Vishwanath Tanwade (tabla).
Both musicians are masters of their instruments and are on a mission to introduce the Jal Tarang, an ancient instrument on the verge of extinction, to a new audience and an emerging generation of musicians.
