Ustad Zakir Hussain -- Vintage Teental Solo

[@larrau7]

RIP, Beloved Master, Beloved Zakirji. Thank you very much, for everything, for your gifts, for being a vehicle for music

[@bevcat33]

this is an amazing instrument - and an inspiring player! I'm a middle-aged lady who now feels like trying this myself!

[@Kayzizzle]

the hand strength required to do that is just intense. Those, professional tabla players are out of this world

[@ams2667]

Beloved UstadJi. This video catures everything you had - technical skill, tempo, creativity, passion and most of all enjoyment. We all miss you. Rest in peace

[@pocodedo]

This is completely surreal. You really have to listen to it to believe that some of these sounds are even achievable. Hussain uses tablas to speak an impossible alien language. There are no effects happening here, it was actually filmed live. Stunning!

[@Quarker]

unbelievable... this guy is inspiration, ive been playing table for 7 1/2 months now, I hope to get to this level after years of playing...

[@0nman]

gosh never get tired of listening to him.. I first watched him play when he was 16 years old....and then he was sooooooooooooo good..he cant ever beat his own level of supremacy..he is the best

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

BEAUTIFUL sound. I could listen to this all day. That tablas are tuned so well! Wow...I'm glad I searched "tablas"! Namah Shivaya!

[@sandeepdhopeshwarkar1415]

What a clarity even at full speed that he plays I always.enjoy his tabla percussion we are lucky to see him playing live about Zakir what to say it's a god creation I pray to God for his long healthy strong life I want to here his tabla again and again

[@roshanraj4145]

love the quintessential zakir hussain sound combined with very serious tabla matter.

[@barimando]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in music! The concentration, dedication and skill a person has to have to do such work is astounding.

[@soumenb22]

Dhene Ghere tekdhin tekdhin nanakete is one of the most sweetest kaida I have ever played and when it is from Zakir , just wonderful.

[@pranavkukreti2046]

Do you know what is the composition he starts playing at 3:30? I have been looking for it for a long time.

[@soumenb22]

Pranav Kukreti this is basically laggi or two by two matra drut used in thumri and bhajan at the end part or returning to Som. in slow style it would be dhene ghere tekdin tene kete tendin then he does the ulta or reverse starting like kete taka tekdhin

[@pranavkukreti2046]

Thankyou. Could you also tell me some variants of this theka?

[@riffraffbass]

this is one of the best videos I have ever seen

[@jugrajsingh8617]

Kirtanbyanyone

[@JamalMunshi]

thank you. i have known zakir for years and have never tired of his solos. what a treat to find this gem on youtube.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Zakir...the passion with which you play is palpable. As with every Master, you become one with the music and your instrument. I am inspired. Thank you, Dear One, for sharing your music and talents with the world. :) Bhakti

[@JamalMunshi]

zakir was my teacher when i was taking tabla lessons at the ali akbar college of music in san rafael, california, and what was very obvious to me was that he had rhythm in his dna even more so than he could communicate. this is the most amazing thing about him.

[@TheMisterTalent1]

Wah Ustad...Zakir Hussain is My Idol..He has been My Idol since I started learning Tabala from My Childhood till now... Still I play Tabala by inspiring him...You are Great Sir...

[@ram97tabla]

Amazing!! I myself play tabla and can therefore really tell and relate to how difficult it is to play this.BUt the real beauty is that he can do it with such ease and such a relaxed and meditative face. It shows true mastery.

[@spdcrzy]

zakirji aapki charanaon ke pranaam. the clarity is amazing...and this was like 10 years ago btw. he's only gotten better.

[@kjaan]

Amazing...Zakirji is one the best tabla players in the world.

[@PriNceSsAarZo0]

incredible combination of music tabla, keyboard n sitar. everything seems so peaceful n at da same time very heart throbbing. thanx 4 sharin.

[@kanimozhi1186]

very super

[@251dog]

WOW pure genius-- this guy has got at least three brains all working at the same time in a different place---how they manage to know where they are is beyond me. Most drummer have to know where the "ONE" is. but these players just seem to get into another zone.. simply amaazzzzing.

[@Trinigoodboi]

I wish i couldve heard this in person.....id be floating in space

[@pudtati]

Definitely vintage. I saw him last year and he is still amazing...keeps evolving his repertiore.

[@gurujio]

very very nicely said brother....nice to c there r ppl that totally appreciate this sacred music...god bless..

[@AvtarSinghBATHAM]

NO WORDS TO SAY MAJA LAYAKARI KA CHAKKARDAR TIHAI DHIR DHIR TRIKAT AND OTHER BOLE OF USED HOW MUCH SMOTHLY WAH USTAD WAH.

[@smitarishabhjaiswal1654]

[@Royalbob123]

[@TablaThe100]

His tabla speaks.........it is like listening to somebody talking with such clarity tone.

[@chanakyagan]

fantastic the king the emperor the best what more we can say ? JUST WE HAVE TO LISTEN AND LOOSE OURSELF IN THE FLOW OF THIS SACRED SOUND....

[@Maronnoland]

the bhol is called dhenegene... its a advanced taal and takes time to play.. search for dhenegene in youtube and you will find a video where the bhols composition is posted..

[@gsingh93]

[@cenkaltiner]

[@peterpunk2799]

He is a Legend Wah ustaad wah !

[@nandurimd]

sensational and revetting fotunate to hear him in live concert.

[@thisNewFoundLand]

... genius. thanks uploader.

[@zad1262]

Listen to Ustad Tari Khan's Teental solo (on youtube) when he was only 16. His performance then was extremely enjoyable and he has grown in his innovativeness. Ustad Zakir is excellent in his own way, but I find Tari sahebs performances to be far more enjoyable, and he shows his own enjoyment during performing.

[@antoniobranca777]

grandioso!..quando segue le note dell armonium è spettacolare..

[@VKSmovies]

I listen to this almost everyday.

[@kapilesh14]

although i do not understand tabla but i can say that whatever i saw and heard right now was divine.

[@steveburton2410]

I know I'll never be able to play like that, but I want a set of tabla anyway!

[@adityathakral7169]

Contact delhi 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sameermandalika3057]

Music is worship Brother Steven. Important thing is to make a little progress everyday. Check out musiciansmall if you live in the United States. Their Haridas Vhatkaar tabla is second to none.

[@soumenb22]

[@yjvyas]

He starts with a famous Farukhabadi Peshkar, goes into famous Punjab relas, does some variations with the theka and then turns the theka into a Rela, and then does a brilliant ending with a Chakardar!

[@shankyxyz]

[@mahatmagandhi4u]

wah Ustad.........WAh

[@shoho0809]

I have uploaded this on my MP3 and listen to it to be at peace =)

[@shishyupal]

SSGKashmirSoldier, just by the choice of your nickname we can see how your mind is enlightened. There is no point in comparing tabla players like "Tari is better than Zakir". Tabla players, thanks God, are all different, with different sensitivity and feelings when they play, that's what make music beautiful.

[@albundie3]

@HareDeLune and dont forget aloke dutta, if zakir hussain and aloke dutta got together and played a composition, time would stand still

[@tablameister]

Zakir-bhai is no doubt one of the greatest tabla players and he has elevated the tabla player's role to that of an equal rather than a subordinate to the main artists. However, when playing solo, Zakir-bhai never lesiurely explores the composition, but rather always wants to start playing relas, laggis, etc. within the context of peshkar.

[@bilgia]

brilliant.

[@vinittokekar8721]

वा उस्ताद क्या बात है।

[@achilles697]
