Within the country Tejendra is a regular artist in the premier concert circuit, while in Europe, Canada, Asia and in the United States, his popularity has ensured his regular representation in some of the most prestigious concert halls.

Tanmoy Bose is a percussionist and tabla player, musical producer, film actor and composer. Born and raised in Kolkata, the cultural capital of India. Bose is one of the foremost musicians in contemporary world music and an indispensable member in the global fraternity of percussion. Bose received his early tutelage from the legendary Kanai Dutta. Bose became the Gandabandh Shagird {formally initiated disciple in Indian classical music} of the noted torchbearer of the Farukhabad gharana Pandit Shankar Ghosh. A great milestone in Tanmoy’s life was achieved when the greatest ambassador of Indian classical music Pandit Ravi Shankar, invited him to play regularly with him around the world. Bose has been instrumental in taking drumming up into a new level in India. For Tanmoy, music and life are inseparable. Rhythm is his quest of truth and beauty- it transcends all other priorities in his life.
