Hindustani Classical Raga on Guitar and Tabla


When
May 13, 2026, 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM
Bunna Cafe, 1084 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237, USA
What
Join us Wednesday 5/13 for Hindustani classical music with Alec Goldfarb, a Brooklyn-based guitarist exploring a distinct approach to raga performance on guitar. Drawing from years of study and immersion in the tradition, his work translates the depth and nuance of raga into a new instrumental voice without losing its structure or discipline.
Following two consecutive tours in India, this marks his first NYC performance—returning with a refined sound shaped by live practice and collaboration within the tradition. The recital will unfold in a classical format, moving through slow, meditative development into more rhythmic and dynamic sections.
He is joined by Ravi Venugopalan, a lifelong Tabla maestro who has studied under Great Tabla Virtuoso Pandit Anindo Chatterjee and his son Shree Anubrata Chatterjee, as well as Ustad Faiyaz Khan Saheb, and Sachil Ben.
Special start time of 8pm, $10 suggested donation.
Everything is Eshi.
