Zakir Hussain and Marcus Gilmore, Rolex Mentor and Protégé in Music, 2018-2019

Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain and young American drummer Marcus Gilmore believe that creating music must be based on keeping the past but also exploring new possibilities. Gilmore found himself, to his delight, performing with Hussain, and being encouraged to compose his first piece for orchestra. Discover more on.rolex.org/3...

Zakir sir, the tabla marvel!! When the name of tabla strikes in the memory your images strikes in the memory. When your names strikes in the memory, image tabla strikes in the memory. So what is your name tabla or Hussain sir. Proud son of India. Is there any yoga called tabla yoga? Any health tabla health. ? Think over. If you find reply act on it. Vande Mataram.

The epitome of rhythm - USTAD ZAKIR HUSSAIN

[@Alrukitaf]

You can hear the result of the collaboration in how closely the drumkit rhythm mimics the tabla beats. Then begins the true fusion process. Too many fusion artists do not adapt to the new situation and then collaborations fail because they end up being too far apart in the styles. The magic happens when both artistes feed off each other and develop the structures of improvisation.

[@areascoda2912]

Cool video and what an amazing opportunity and program. Classical Tabla beat cycles, Teental and Ektal , have such a chill tranquilising effect - especially when paired with raagas like Gorakh Kalyan or Bhupali. if global musicians begin to understand the concepts of Taala, Raaga, and Alaap/Jor /jhala, I think we’ll see an age of Cultural Enlightenment - where top instrumentalists and sound engineers from around the world align to create beautiful artistic meditative chill-out music that is appreciated by all.

Beautiful music

[@sheshashah3728]

Of course Husain Sir is absolutely right fully agreed with his opinion upon this subject. Actually Music has no boundaries which can be listen thru our ears because as it has its own universal standard notes and scales well there are various kinds of instruments in shape and sizes similarly which are played in a different manners as per country’s culture and traditions but fortunately they have the same basic fundamental things of sound comes thru notes and scales so I do firmly believe that there’s no need to put demarcation upon it ! It just like people have different beliefs have different kinds of Gods and religions but ultimately their main goal is to find peace and eternity while being in this human civilization being in the different shape and size of Human species !
