Zakir Hussain (Tabla) with Niladri Kumar (Sitar)

Watch Ustad Zakir Hussain, one of the world's best known Indian tabla players. Popularly known as the Tabla Maestro, his performances have not only established him as a national treasure in India, but also earned him worldwide fame. In 2015, he was voted “Best Percussionist” by both the DownBeat Critics’ Poll and Modern Drummer’s Reader’s Poll.

Hussain will be accompanied by sitar virtuoso, Niladri Kumar, an Indian classical and fusion musician. Both are known for experimentation: Kumar designed and sometimes plays an electrified instrument he calls the zitar, and Hussain has often ventured into rock, jazz, electronic, and Western classical music. Each musician is grounded in Hindustani musical practice and is the product of venerable dynasties and traditional apprenticeships.
