Happy Release Day Trilok Gurtu – The new album “One Thought Away” is out now!

For 34 years, since his debut album “Usfret”, Indian drummer and tabla master Trilok Gurtu has always entered the studio with a well-rehearsed band and a very specific plan. For his 21st album as a leader, the gifted musical rebel has decided to try something completely different. Eschewing the band concept, Gurtu improvised in the studio with an array of instruments, including tablas, drums, keyboards, electric bass and the Basic 1, a revolutionary string-drum hybrid developed by German instrument maker Ferdinand Forsch. “It’s an incredible instrument,” said music pioneer Gurtu. “I could deliver an hour-long show with just this one instrument.”

Now, on One Thought Away, the tabla master, soulful drummer, keyboardist, bassist and Basic 1 player takes improvising in a studio setting stripped down to its essentials a step further than ever before. The results are brilliant.

Trilok can be booked with us as a solo act or as a quartet.
