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.]

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
