The rhythm of life

Music has always been an escape and place of happiness for young tabla player Sudhir Acharya. He talks about his life path and how he ended up at a jazz conservatory.

Sudhir Acharya has just returned from a musical theory class. Seated in a café within the jazz conservatory building, where he commenced studies three months ago, the 25-year-old reflects on his musical journey. Despite his current academic pursuit, he confesses to not having a strong inclination towards jazz. Until recently, he was known as a proficient tabla player.
