Tabla for Two continues to play privately in the Tablasphere (our glorious music room) for newly arrived refugees, by invitation. We hold separate evenings for Pakistani music, Indian music, and Afghan music.
Tabla for Two enjoyed performing Old Bollywood songs at a private concert for a lovely audience in Lexington, Kentucky.
Playing tabla and singing at the same time is an enormously difficult thing to do…Masood seems to do it so effortlessly!

Abigail has started to collect antique handwoven, what she calls, “tabla beanies” from Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Pakistan. She embellishes them with antique beads, flowers, and birds. She never plays without one on her head.
Tabla for Two continues to practice in their beautiful studio, adding to their vast potpourri of music, ranging from classical to dance.
Buster, a 13-year old furry Jack Russell Terrier, is an avid fan of Tabla for Two’s music. When we play the soulful ragas he loves to dig a nest in the sheepskin rug and go into a deep doggie trance.
You know what music is?
God’s little reminder that
there’s something else
besides us in this universe;
harmonic connection
between all living beings,
everywhere, even the stars.
— Robin Williams, August Rush (2007)
