Tabla Legend : Zakir Hussain sadly dies age 73
[Zakir Hussain, one of the world's greatest
tabla players, has died at the age of 73. The Indian classical music icon died of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease, at a hospital in San Francisco, his family said in a statement. Hussain was a four-time Grammy award winner and has received the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award. Through his performances, he transformed the tabla into a globally loved solo instrument that was the star of the show. The tabla - a pair of drums used in Indian classical music - was historically viewed as an accompaniment to the main performance.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2exzm9r043o He played with British Rock Jazz Guitarist John McLaughlin in a special band in the late 1970's. And with George Harrison. Among many others. He will be missed |
