Performing career
Talwalkar was born in 1948 into a Marathi family in Chembur, Mumbai. He belongs to the Keertankar family of Shri Dholebuva. Keertana being a classical form of devotional and musical discourse, a liking for the classical music was inculcated in him right in the childhood. He initially learned playing the tabla from his father Dattatrey Talwalkar.[1][2] He trained under tabla players Pandharinath Nageshkar and Vinayakrao Ghangrekar, and studied the rhythm theory of Carnatic music and Hindustani classical singing.[2][3]
His style draws from several gharanas (stylistic schools) and he accompanied classical musicians and dancers;[2] Talwalkar frequently performed with sarangi player Ram Narayan since the late 1960s, accompanied classical singer Ulhas Kashalkar, and has toured in the United States, Europe, and Africa.[4][5][6] He taught tabla players, including Ramdas Palsule, Vijay Ghate and Western drummers.[2] Talwalkar was awarded the All India Radio Award in 1966, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2004[2][7] and Padma Shri in 2013.[8]
Talwalkar is married to classical singer Padma Talwalkar and they have a daughter, tabla player Savani Talwalkar, and a son, Mumbai businessman and tabla player Satyajit Talwalkar.[9][10]
