Known primarily for his experimental tabla playing within electronic music contexts, Kale’s career has seen him take on roles of an Indian classical tabla player, singer, songwriter, film and TV score composer, and DJ. Together with Moet Hennessy India, he has now set out on a path to curating an eclectic experience for the Indian consumer celebrating the various cultural nuances of our motherland.
