Conceived by Roysten Abel, Beat Route is a mesmerizing production that merges the ancient with the modern, showcasing the rich sounds of India’s percussion landscape. The ensemble crafts a unique soundscape, blending traditional folk rhythms with contemporary electronic music and Ranjit Barot’s masterful drumming, creating contrasts between Rajasthan’s arid deserts and Kerala’s lush greenery. 

Beat Route features a diverse array of instruments, from the resonant Mizhavuand the vibrant Chenda to various eclectic desert instruments like the Dhol, Nagara, Kharthal, Bapang and Morchang, each contributing its voice to a rich musical narrative. This journey captures the essence of India’s musical heritage, ranging from the earthy sounds of village squares to the enchanting resonance of temple bells.
