Sarathy Korwar is a percussionist/composer born in the US, raised in India and now based in London. Sarathy trained as a classical tabla player under the guidance of Shri Rajeev Devasthali and Pandit Sanju Sahai but is equally at ease on the tabla or drum-kit. Since graduating from SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) in London, Sarathy has performed and collaborated with likes of jazz/improvised music legends Karl Berger and Ingrid Sertso, award winning instrumentalists Arun Ghosh, Shabaka Hutchings and Indian classical musicians such as Pt. Ajay Prasanna, Pt. Bhajan Sopori, Pt. Sanju Sahai and Padmashree Pt. Pratap Pawar. In 2015, he was invited to perform for the Dalai Lama at the Royal Opera House in London. His first album Day To Day was released on Ninja Tune in July 2016 and features field recordings of Sidi musicians, who are descendants of African migrants in India. At the centre of his aesthetic is a strong faith and reliance on intuition, spontaneity and improvisation.
