Masters of Percussion
To understand music Hussein enough to listen to the rhythm of his own heart. Rhythm - that is its universal language. Incendiary and charming, it is reminiscent of the Indian culture, which has millennium. No one party, no idea, no temple ceremony is complete without the tabla - Indian pair of drums. History tabla goes back centuries, but at the same time they are incredibly modern and give a unique sound music of any style, be it jazz, bebop or world music.
Tabla - Zakir Hussain business card, glorified these legendary Indian drums for the whole world.
Zakir Hussain began to act professionally for twelve years, but then his interests lie in the field of traditional and folk music. Everything changes when Hussein comes to America and meets not only with the great jazz heritage, but also with jazz artists of the first row. John McLaughlin, Pat Mattin, Jan Garbarek, Billy Cobham - this is an incomplete list of those with whom at different times acted Hussein. It is worth to add classical Indian masters - Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, as well as Carlos Santana and ex-Beatle George Harrison.
Expertise Hussein phenomenal, his improvisations on tabla return of any person to the roots awaken in him a feeling of true, almost primitive freedom. Not to follow the rhythms of tabla impossible, they offer up to the horizon, where wild natural principle most incredible way connected with the supply of refined and intellectual sound.
