Ravi Shankar, Alla Rakha - Tabla Solo in Jhaptal

[@santoshmitra3934]

The audience was so polished and well-mannered. When Pandit Ravi Shankar asked them to stop clapping and listen to the playing, they obeyed immediately. Shows how humble the two musicians are on the other hand. They didn't crave attention but wanted to present what they went there for. That's why they didn't care about the applause. That kind of humility should exist in all artists.

[@tarunkrishna8147]

I also was blessed to witness this pair of musical demigods perform at Sydney Town Hall, must have been 1968. They performed a similar tabla banter to this although from memory Ravi was "teasing" Alla with complex vocalisations which Alla immediately played on the tabla. An amazing concert and even more amazing ... an audience of merely around 200 affectionados. Those were the days.

Alla Rakha's greatest contribution to Indian classical music is making tabla respectable and taking this instrument to a higher plane (earlier it always played second fiddle to the vocalist/instrumentalist). Of course his other contribution is giving the world Zakir Hussein. I have been extremely lucky to see these legends live several times - starting from 1976.

Jack of all trades, master of none, so to speak. But these guys are the undisputed masters of their trade, and I highly respect them for it. No disrespect to any other drummer, but I would rather hear Alla Rakha to any other drummer with the exception to Buddy Rich, who is my all-time favorite drummer.

Great mental skill is needed in playing of all musical instruments but Mridangam and Tabla are two musical instruments which need strong mental skill, strength of body also. Above all is the rigorous practice. Great Tabla players like late Shri Anokhe Lal, late Shri Samta Prasad, Shri Kanthe Maharaj ets had the super talent of playing tabla. They left the audience stunned with thier art. But one this shri Zakir Hussain who in such low age has astonished not only own country but the whole world. No doubt amongst all those mentioned above this gentlemen Shri Zakir Hussain son of a proficient renowned Tabla player like late Shri Alla Rakha, is a born prodigy who came from the womb of his great mother itself to astonish the world wit his talent. I have heared that his fathe Shri Alarakha from the childhood itself of Zakir Hussain started giving the training of playing tabla. And with the growing age the practice went on to be more rigorous and prolonged. Late shri Alarakh himself was a great proficient tabla player which could make Shri Zakir Hussein a better and more profficient Tabla player. With all combined I can say that a Zakir Hussein can not be created first without gift of god, his personal capability, and lastly without Guru and trainer like the great late shri Alarakha! God bless him. No doubt he is a gem pride of India. 😊❤

Ya! They have to leave India. We need to popularise classical music. There should be appreciation classes aired in youtube.

[@sankarmitra7189]

I agree but it would be stupidity to say they are poor. In fact they are very very rich. However richness is due to their own calibre. In India at present classical music is appreciated by only selected audience.Sponsorship by Govt. is lacking. More festivals should be organised. More publicity should be given to propagate Classical music.

Mohammed Baig No government wants to support great artists. The arts are a powerful force for societal change which threatens those in power. Governments fear their people embracing their own power. That is why governments hate artists, and why fascist states kill artists when they can.

They are chhapris, with no culture, no upbringing. The generation fed on fast food by their chhapri parents. Animals. Rodents. Parasites who feed off the hard work of the rest of humanity.
