Tea Tokieda, aka Trupti Tokieda, is a neat and yet raucous stir-fry of India, Japan and the USA. Asked to describe the music scene in Japan, Tea says the country is home to some of the best musicians in the world when it comes to versatility. The mix of hymns at school, Indian classical music at home, and her mother’s love for Marathi folk songs laid the foundations for Tea. Asked how Hiroshi has taken to Indian culture, Tea says he is completely enamoured and enjoys the community aspect. “He is quite enthusiastic about exploring Indian classical music after listening to Kaushiki Chakraborti live on one of our visits to India,” she said.
