Yogita Arun Tambe clearly remembers how as a child she would play beats on anything she could lay her hands on. “The initial idea was to play 100 instruments, but then I realised I did not have access to so many instruments. It was there that I got introduced to a different world of music and my talent got the right exposure. On being asked how she manages to play so many instruments, she says, “A person who knows how to play the tabla can play any other instrument. There are so many patterns in a tabla that playing other instruments becomes easy.”While tabla is her first love, Tambe shares that she loves playing the daf (instrument played during the Lavani dance).
