Description
A national treasure in his native land, Zakir Hussain is, after Ravi Shankar, the most internationally successful musician in the history of India. The classically trained tabla virtuoso rocketed to worldwide prominence in the 1970s with John McLaughlin’s groundbreaking world-fusion band, Shakti. Since then, a variety of stunning collaborators includes Mickey Hart (Planet Drum), Charles Lloyd (Sangam), George Harrison, Van Morrison, Joe Henderson, Billy Cobham and many others. His latest recording is The Rhythm of Melody, a sublime project with Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer. For this performance, Hussain employs The Masters of Percussion, showcasing India’s diverse drum styles and featuring the star violinists Ganesh and Kumaresh.More Info
