I was here when this was recorded! This performance brought tears to my eyes. The aura created through his seamless mastery made me laugh and cry. Thank you for uploading :)
I remember him from an ad they used to show on TV. I was just a kid then. He played Tabla and then said "Wah Taj". I was never exposed to his music but somehow when I saw the thumbnail I had a strange urge to see this video. Ah I love his playing.
This man has no words to describe him A musical mathematical prodigy Godly traits Perhaps the sole tabla nawaz who never fails to mesmerize you every single performance
This is like listening to a Bach fugue. There are multiple simultaneous voices maintaining their phrasing and integrity throughout the performance -- no matter how energetic or subdued; simple or intricate. Remarkable depth here.
I have seen him in his old videos as a young man playing Tabla & today he has become an old man..... But his spirit hasn't gone down a bit. These people dedicated their entire life to music & never got commercialized. He belongs to the last generation of people who dedicated their entire life to Hindustani music. Zakir Hussain, Amjad Ali, Pt.Shivkumar, Hariprasad Chourasia are some of the last living legends from that generation. With these maestros, that marvelous era will come to an end. So sad.... Our country's young generation do not even know about these great legends. We can learn about seriousness, hardwork, love & dedication from these maestros.
Maine ye zakir hussain ka zindagi me pehla video dekha hai, sirf naam suna tha aur Table par pehli thap sunkar hi pata lag gya ki log kyon inhein great kehte hai 🎉
Im tremendously happy to witness a legendary musician playing with Tabla, we need more youngsters to get these music to world stage like ustaad Zakhir ji did, i wish to meet zakhir ji once in my lifetime.
Who am I to applaud him? For I am no more than a mere mortal watching in awe the magic he creates in Table! What I can merely do is to prostrate in front of him for giving me the fortune to watch him create soulful magic.
My father Zakir Hussain has graced with age and his playing is still so beautiful to this day and i love him so much. Long may he continue in this incredible journey of making a solid mark in the world of the most magestic all round king the Tabla.
Legend. I have personally listened Zakir bhai several times! Solo as well as with his father and his brothers! Each time it has been a mesmerising event. I feel it's God's blessing to get to listen to him live!
My first ever interactions with the tabla were through him and his father, the genius Ustad Allah Rakha. For over 20 years that I've known and admired him, this legend has mesmerized, and continues to inspire. I owe so much of my tabla progress to you, Ustad Zakir Hussain!! Thank you, and lots of love
You just HAVE to stand and applaud his art. Every time, all the time. Even if you are listening to this at home. You just can’t help it. So grateful to have been born in an era where one has had the pleasure and honour to hear him live. UstaadJi 🙏🏻
इंडियन क्लासिकल म्यूजिक को सुनने के बाद मन भावुक हो जाता है । आप पंडित रविशंकर के सितार सुनिए या जाकिर हुसैन का तबला । तब जा कर समझ आता आखिर इन्हें उस्ताद क्यों कहा जाता ।।
His ability to control the pitch of the bayan is incredible, and I love how dynamically he plays - he is never simply banging on them. I would love to have seen this whole concert, as I see more tabla and other Indian instruments there.
you were so friendly I had dinner after the concert at RFH with all your family backstage! Wonderful energy and experience 💞 Stay safe, happy and what you are doing with the tabla always? You are the master of tabla and thank you for looking after me ❤
The sounds he can create are interesting, but I find it even more interesting how he is able to be so care-free and how he can just let loose, even in front of an audience like that.
I met with Zakir after his programm in Lucknow with Shivkumar Sharma (and even had coffee with him) about 25 years ago, definitely one of the best tabla player! and then in Montreux with Shakti/John McLaughlin who is my favorite guitarist since my teenage 😍Pls listen to Pt. Lacchu Maharaj from Varanasi, unfortunately passed away 4 years ago, the Wizard of tablas 🥰 and there is another great representative of banaras gharana, Sanju Sahai... if you really love tablas, you must listen to them 🙏
It should be titled berklee meets zakhir hussain...
There are kings of percussions and then there is an emperor
we are so fortunate that we can listen to this masterpiece for free. I feel like it is crime as we can't give anything back. heavenly performance.
I was here when this was recorded! This performance brought tears to my eyes. The aura created through his seamless mastery made me laugh and cry. Thank you for uploading :)
He doesn't have a gift! He is the gift! Oh my god!

Unparalleled lightness of touch! The fingers almost float across the tabla

हुसैन जी आपके संगीत की जितनी तारीफ की जाए उतना ही कम है आप बहुत ही अच्छा तबला वादक हैं। क्या बजाते हैं आप 🙏🙏
I have had the honor and privilege to witness this legend twice in my life. Both times reaffirmed spirituality within me.
He is 69 years old. And I am the one who get cramps in fingers after some snapping.

भारतीय परंपरा में कलाकार हमेशा अंत में हाथ जोड़ते हैं। मुझे यह बहुत अच्छा लगता है।
Indian artists always fold hands at the end. I love it.
Zakir bhai is the greatest tabla player of our times.
If you know a little about Tabla , You are at the bottom of Earth Core and he is sitting at Everest
I love the sound of traditional Indian instruments. They sound like something you would listen to when trying to spiritually heal or something.
Unparalleled master of his art.
My father Zakir Hussain has graced with age and his playing is still so beautiful to this day and i love him so much. Long may he continue in this incredible journey of making a solid mark in the world of the most magestic all round king the Tabla.
I was there in the show and it was really a dream come true watching ustad zakir hussain live
Legend. I have personally listened Zakir bhai several times! Solo as well as with his father and his brothers! Each time it has been a mesmerising event.
I feel it's God's blessing to get to listen to him live!
I pray God not to drag this great soul into Indian political fights. He is a gift to India and the world.
Waiting for his Bharat Ratna
Master class. What we are enjoying is result of life time training, passion and exploration.
