Zakir Hussain is today appreciated both in the field of
percussion and in the music world at large as an international
phenomenon. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his
consistently brilliant and exciting performances have not only
established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, but
gained him worldwide fame. The favorite accompanist for many of India's
greatest classical musicians and dancers, from Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi
Shankar to Birju Maharaj and Shivkumar Sharma, he has not let his genius
rest there. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful
improvisational dexterity, founded in formidable knowledge and study.
