The resonating sound of the drum carries over the open park, beckoning everyone getting off the tram to join the beat bringing everyone — Indian and foreigners alike — to the Halasovo Náměstí in Brno, Czech Republic. That is the magic of Indian Dhol Tasha, performed by the youth of Ramanbaug Yuva Manch at Vibrant India event. The "Vibrant India" event in Brno, Czech Republic, presented by the Brno Dhol Tasha group, is a cultural celebration that highlights India's rich traditions while fostering integration with the local community. “Since its inception in 2022, the event has collaborated with Ramanbaug Yuva Manch from Germany. It has been a major attraction for both, the Indian expats in Czech Republic and the residents of Brno,” says Ajinkya Sanjay Dhamdhere, a resident of Brno. Ramanbaug is not a new name for many Punekars as it is a known dholtasha group for last more than 40 years. The group’s members started a branch in Germany in 2019 and popularised these unique drums in Europe. With more than 100 members spread across Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, they have devised an offline/ online practice strategy. They meet every alternate weekend to practice in locations in Berlin, Hanover, Mainz, Stuttgart and Munich and Dusseldorf.
