ACQ was started in Dec 2018, and this our fifth year together as a Carnatic Band. We’re super pumped to share our schedule for this Margazhi, join us!
ACQ Drumroll 20 | We’ve always been tremendously inspired by the music of percussion maestros Valayapatti AR Subramaniam, Palani Subramania Pillai, Thiruvalaputhur TA Kaliyamurthy and Palghat Mani Iyer. So we got together and had several intense listening sessions of their music. What came of it were streams of our thought process, inspired by theirs. During the course of this tour, we’re playing all our percussion solos along these patterns, and we made short reels exploring them in byte sizes as well. Happy listening, here’s ACQ Drumroll!
