Tap dancer Marije Nie met ta bla player Tarang Poddar in 2023 in a unique project call ed 'Book of Premonitions', where more than 200 students from the IVKO scho ol in Amsterdam were invited to collectively create a 'libretto' based on their visions on the future. They made texts, but also scultures and drawi ngs. Working from their materials, the artists of the collective then crea ted a unique, one-off 'opera' that was performed at De Doelen, Korzo and M uziektheater. In this collaboration, Marije and Tarang found a resonance b etween taps and tablas, which led to this evening in which they will explo re the connections between tabla and tap in an improvised dialogue, after which Tarang will present his concert Jelle x Tarang.

J elle X Tarang have been developing rhythmically intricate instrumenta l music built around grooves, odd metres, and shifting rhythmic perspectiv es — technically demanding yet completely accessible to the untrained ear. Drawing from jazz, African musical influences, Indian classical music, an d electronic aesthetics, the duo constructs acoustic music that constantly mutates, where repetition, silence, and sudden breaks shape the flow like an evolving machine. Using electric guitar, live processing, tabla, and p ercussion, they blur the line between acoustic and electronic sound while creating a highly distinctive and contemporary musical language.

Jelle Roozenburg layers melodic fragments, rich contemporary harmonies, and looping textures into compositions that blur the line betw een acoustic and electronic sound. Within these shifting
structures, Ta rang Poddar — a seasoned artist whose stage presence holds the room with t he same focused economy as his playing — navigates polyrhythms, metric mod ulations, and hybrid
percussion textures through a combined tabla and p ercussion setup; deeply rooted in Indian classical music, his varied influ ences bleed into one another in unexpected ways, while the tabla
itself is pushed toward unfamiliar sonic territory, creating a highly distinctiv e and contemporary aesthetic to the instrument.
