The video u jus saw was Zakir Hussain jamming away to glory at the Bill Laswell Axiom Sound system musical free zone concert…there are 3 more of those videos on youtube..u cud google it…He trully has taken the Indian Brand global and immortalised himself as well as the Tabla…personally i remember feeling great after checking out the tabla samples on Fruity loops.Man!! Am I proud to be Indian or wat!!
Zakir Hussain who was trained mostly by his own father ustad Alla Rakha.In 1988 he became the youngest musician to have ever been awarded the Padma shree.In 1992 he was awarded the Grammy for the album Planet Drum that he released along with Mickey Hart. His performances have been with very diverse artists…including The Beatles,Ravi Shankar,Ali Akhbar Khan,Joe Henderson,Van Morrisson etc…He was a founding member of Bill Laswell’s world music group..its one of their videos thats been posted…wat else can u do other than sit back…and say Wah!!Ustad Wah!!
PULLI ! Last week I went for a concert which was organized as a part of world music festival in Oslo. The one which I went for was a mix of Indian classical(a delhi based band called indian core) and norwegian jazz. Not all that glorious but the crowd reaction for solo tabla was exactly the same as the one in this video.
Hi, I was searching in google to see whether I can get Tabala loops in India? I saw your page where you mention tabla loops in fruity loops in this article. Can you please give me some pointer where I can get this? Thanks, Anjan
