NagmaLive was born from a simple need: musicians practicing Indian classical music needed a reliable, high-quality digital companion that could replace the limitations of older electronic tanpura and tabla machines.

What started as a personal project quickly grew into something much bigger. We realized that tabla players and Kathak dancers around the world all shared the same frustration: practicing alone without quality accompaniment.
