Tabla Beyond Borders: Life, Spirit, and Rhythm with Ritesh Das
This podcast is a space for real conversations—about rhythm, discipline, and the deeper purpose behind music. Hosted by tabla teacher and composer Ritesh Das, each episode brings together musicians, students, spiritual practitioners, and cultural workers to explore what tabla—and art itself—can reveal about life.
We speak about tradition without being bound by it. We talk honestly about the path—its doubts, its rigour, its joy. Music here is not entertainment. It’s practice. It’s presence. It’s a way to listen.
Whether you’re a student, an artist, or someone walking the inner path, these conversations invite you to reflect, question, and remember what really matters.

“Because That’s What This Is”
“Because That’s What This Is” is a raw, unfiltered reflection from the heart of Ritesh Das—composer, tabla teacher, founder of the Toronto Tabla Ensemble, and lifelong seeker. This podcast is not about performance. It’s not for promotion. It’s a return.
Through spontaneous conversation, memory, and deep truth-telling, Ritesh revisits the moments that shaped his path—from the purity of sound in empty rooms to the pressures of the music industry, from backstage whispers to center-stage chaos, and now, toward a quiet reclaiming of dharma, spirit, and creation.
These are not episodes. They are strokes of rhythm.
Sometimes clear. Sometimes cracked. Always real.
This is for artists, seekers, students, and anyone who has ever asked:
“What did I lose along the way—and how do I find it again?”
Because that’s what this is.
