About the instructor

Ty Burhoe has been a disciple of the great tabla maestro, Ustad Zakir Hussain, since1990. From that time forward, Ty has been wholly dedicated to music as a career and as a spiritual path. Through his teacher’s inspiration, he has established new territory for the tabla which continues to attract international acclaim. Ty is known for his sensitive accompaniment and melodious style. While his study of the classical tradition and his touring as a classical accompanist continue to grow, he is also internationally recognized for being instrumental in creating unusual collaborations that weave tabla with other various world traditions. He has become well known not only for his talents as a tabla player, but also for his extensive experience as a recording and live concert producer. He has been featured on many soundtracks for film and video, including the recent academy award winning documentary, “Born into Brothels.”  Organically, these experiences led him to open his own Indie label “Tala Records” in 2004.

Ty works with a broad range of artists including Ustad Zakir Hussain, Art Lande, Krishna Das, Curandero (Miguel Espinoza), Ustad Sultan Khan, Bela Fleck, Walter Becker, Steve Gorn,  Mamadou Diabate, Rick Alan, Howard Levy, Kitaro, Bill Dougals and many more. On the side, he is the tour assistant for his teacher Ustad Zakir Hussain, touring and helping produce and manage concerts worldwide. Ty also teaches “sound” workshops and tabla intensives throughout the world.
