Tabla for Two … Playing for Peace
Tabla for Two is a unique duo consisting of Masood Omari and Abigail Adams Greenway. They play traditional and classical music from Afghanistan and beloved old Bollywood favorites from India. Tabla for Two also perform original music called “New Music for the New World,” composed by Masood, that blends classical Eastern beats with Western-style beats — a fusion of East and West that is mirrored in their own partnership.
Their music has been described as mesmerizing, energizing, transcendent, and healing. Masood is blessed with the remarkable skill of playing the tabla and singing at the same time, a feat which is generally seen as impossibly difficult. Masood is from Ghazni, Afghanistan. Abigail is from Erie, Pennsylvania.
