The sarangi brought out sorrows and tabla washed them off with tears of joy ... What a lifetime experience though watching on screen and not live ... Ustad Zakir Hussain sahab we cannot thank god enough for letting us be born in your era ... Sabir ji you were mesmerising in your performance as well ... ❤❤❤

[@tablaninja1]

Ustad has not only mastered the Tabla but also the way of playing the Tabla! I always say that Tabla is a very visual instrument and we need to be aware on how we look when we play not just bols

[@bebikshirsagar7625]

Sabir Ji played his soul here. I've never witnessed this level of Sarangi playing by him. Not saying doubted his ability. But this performance is jaw dropping. On the other hand any praise is small for Zakir Ji. If someone can please tell me which raag did Sabir Ji played in the starting alap. Thanks

[@andrew01]

It is Charukeshi.

[@nehalmehta8146]

Wondering why the audience is clapping every now and then. They need to exercise restraint and learn to appreciate where it is due.

[@theSpiritofSeep]

Sorry sir but that’s not very natural. If excited let them show it. If not too rambunctious it’s ok. They are enamored and in love. This happens. Be not jealous. If you want CD with no audience by a damn cd Bhai. Live music is for this sort of fun.

[@jayflash2035]

Completely natural for this kind of event, just showing their appreciation.

That the audience is playing at the very normal type of thing for Zakir as he can do a hundred time better

[@saivivek9712]

Could someone suggest a few links to listen to some of the soulful music pieces of Classical Instrumentals. Thank you.

[@aarjunpp]

This video is a slap to the people who say ustad Zakir sir now only plays westernised solos and lost the classical touch. He is playing kaydas of famous Thirakwa sahab and also the style is very similar

[@Prof_Hazra_IIT]

very good observation !! Ustadji has always stayed deeply rooted to classical music. 99% of the common junta get swayed by his looks and panache. They have never understood the real Zakir Hussain, coz' it is too difficult for them. Ustadji plays a very expressive yet the most difficult brand of tabla which even educated tabla players cannot fathom.

[@mrityunjoyananjanabhattach7921]

The best thing about him is if the previous day he plays jazz, and today he accompanies someone then tomorrow he is ready to perform solo recital on Indian classical Such is his versatility Better not to comment on his gigantic capability of instant innovation.

Being affected with COVID-19, finding some time in my hectic life (to fight for survival), finally I've got the oppotunity to enjoy this mesmerizing and enthralling performance, one of bests in the millennium! What an occassion to rise up! Remembering Ustad Ahmad Jan Thirakwa, one of the brightest stars in the sky-- on the stage, Ustadji, paying his richest tribute! Many a men even connoisseurs, sometimes complains of his gimicky westernized performances. Some of them also compare him with others which is totally unfair esthetically! Lo, listen, what a performance it is! What about Sarangi and Sabir ji? His part here for sure is unparalleled, soothing to the ears and complimentary! Please, use quality head phones! Otherwise, I'm affraid you will miss the delicate nuances of the 'Baya'! Please, don't skip the 'vilambit laya' portions which I think are studded with real gems. Long live, Ustadji!

[@sufsanin1917]

Sir do you teach tabla? I am also a tabla learner from Bangladesh.

[@sufsanin1917]

I agree Ustad Ahmed Jaan Thirakwa is one of the greatest (sometimes called the Mount Everest of tabla) and Zakir ji performed very well here. I agree that some people say that he has too many gimmicks and say that people like Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri are better. But comparing is just wrong. I agree all of the are great infact it was Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri's performance at bengal music festival inspired me to pursues tabla. But all of them are great and comparing is just wrong.
