Tabla Cadabra Duo – Live Performance | Flute & Percussion

Tabla Cadabra Duo features the highly intuitive collaboration of Malek Prakash (flute and tabla) and Rishi (tabla and percussion). Their sound is a seamless blend of classical Indian music, jazz, and pop, creating “fusion music improvised on the spot.” The result is a sophisticated, hypnotic atmosphere perfect for upscale lounges, professional events, and world music festivals.

Deep Technical Mastery The duo’s foundation is built on decades of rigorous discipline. With 40 years of professional experience, Malek Prakash underwent intensive musical training in India under the revered tutelage of Ustad Niya Quat Khan and Pandit Delhi Babu. Over the past 30+ years in Malaysia, he has played well over 400 high-profile performances, firmly establishing himself as a prominent and highly respected figure in the Kuala Lumpur music scene.

Known for his incredible versatility and evocative flute melodies, Malek pairs perfectly with Rishi’s intricate, driving percussion. Together, they deliver a complex, yet beautifully “chilled-out” sonic experience that adapts flawlessly to the energy of the room.

Notable Performances Tabla Cadabra Duo has brought their unique fusion to high-profile international venues and cultural festivals, including:

• Private Performance for the Sultan of Brunei at the World Trade Centre
• Kuala Lumpur Central Station (Official Opening Ceremony)
• Rhythm of Asia Music Festival
• Havanti Jazz Festival
• Regional Tours: Extensive touring across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in collaboration with the Green Room Session.

Whether providing a subtle, elegant backdrop for a corporate gala or serving as a dynamic focal point on a festival stage, Tabla Cadabra Duo’s music is designed to be felt as much as it is heard. They remain one of the most sought-after instrumental fusion acts in Southeast Asia.
