This beats any event at the moment

Zakir, a world class tabla player, His dad Ustad Alla Rakha Khan a legend who past away has bought up a major talent which has taken tabla onto it's level of insanity

Seeing him play will be an honour, been waiting for this moment for quite along time.

I'll drop a comment on what i thought

[amriksingh]

Zakir smashed it

He's taken tabla to another level, no one comes near him at the moment, especially where creativity and bringing something new is concerned, the drums, tabla, dholak,sitar,sarangi, and dancing all happening at the same time was an exciting moment,

Zakir's timing, accuracy is astonishing, his rella, dhire dhire, his bols perfectly spoken, also adding abit of comedy in to what he plays, he mimicked a horse running, raining falling, a train, also displaying his electricfying speed in tirikits and execution of tihais like a sword cutting a apple bang in the middle

wicked night, we met up afterwards, when everyone missed, i got a chance to speak to him, he cracked enough jokes before he left

was brilliant, hope i see him again
