About the Author
Zakir Hussain is the most popular exponent of tabla. He
has received worldwide acclaim for his innovative
techniques and dexterity.He has established himself
equally and firmly both in quality-conscious
international music and in the highly demanding,
critical field of Indian music. He encompasses
tradition as the purists conceive it and yet he
possesses an individual creative talent that can reach
out to ideas as contemporary as the Jazz Yatra. He is
also well versed with other percussion instruments like
the dholak and khol.
Zakir Hussain has taken tabla playing to new heights
and in the process highlighted the subtle nuances of
this instrument which is said to be the most precise
and sophisticated in the world. He has a unique ability
to communicate with his audience. He is also a master
at fusion.He believes in experimenting with music from
all over the world and has created some of the finest
music with a jazz band called Shakti.
He was born in Bombay on March 9, 1951. His father is
the renowned tabla maestro Alla Rakha, and it was only
natural that as a toddler, he started experimenting
with the tabla, which was the focal point of the
household.
He played his first formal concert at the age of 12
years with Ali Akbar Khan. He left for the United
States with Ravi Shankar to perform at the Filmore East
in New York City in 1970. He studied ethnic musicology
at the University of Washington, and learnt different
kinds of instrumental music. He got his degree in
western classical music, and then taught Hindustani
classical music at the University of Washington,
Portland State University, and Ali Akbar College of
Music in San Francisco. In 1978 he married Antonia
Minnecola,an Italian American, Kathak dancer.
He has composed music for films like The Little Buddha
of Bernardo Bertolucci, Ismail Merchant¬s In Custody
and Heat and Dust, Cappola¬s Apocalypse Now,
Merchant-Ivory¬s A Perfect Murder and for some American
television serials. Besides accompanying many
Hindustani classical musicians, Zakir plays with the
jazz group Shakti. He has played with the rock group
called Grateful Dead and many jazz musicians. In 1973,
he took over the Tal Vadya Rhythm Band, which later
evolved into the Diga Rhythm Band, and more recently,
Zakir Hussain and the Rhythm Experience. Zakir Hussain
had teamed up with co-composers Philip Glass and Mickey
Hart to write the score for the Atlanta Olympic Games,
1996.
In 1988 he was honoured with a Padmashree and was
bestowed with the Sangeet Natak Academy Award in 1990.
