about
In 2004, after years of collaboration with his good friend tabla player Tarun Nayar, guitarist Ivan Tucakov formed the collective Tambura Rasa. Their musical relationship had initially been a duo setting, merging Tarun's Indian Classical Music knowledge with Ivan's Balkan and Iberian influences. Throughout the years and after joining forces with numerous ethnic musicians and dancers, Tambura Rasa's act has developed into a diverse and unique style of gypsy-world-fusion. Some of the continuing members of the band include violinist Jaron Freeman-Fox, bass player John Bews and multi-percussionist Mike Michalkow. With two CDs ' Sunrise on a New World' (2004) and 'Viaje' (2006) as well as over a dozen styles to pull from, Tambura Rasa bring us a rich, multicultural blend of contemporary grooves and traditional rhythms. In their regularly sold-out live acts and a solid fan base, Tambura Rasa weaves a tapestry of lively danceable melodies, complete with belly dancers and fiery flamenco. Tambura Rasa has made a name for itself by playing its signature blend of gypsy violin, flamenco guitar, Cuban percussion and Indian tablas to packed houses of world music fans.
