My favourite tablist

 My all time favourite tablist is Ustad Zakir Hussain. He was one of the best tablist in India. He was born in 1951 and his father was Ustad Allah Rakka. He is also a good tablist in India. Zakir Hussain started his music journey at 12 years old amd his gharana was Punjab Gharana. Gharana means like a school that giving characteristics, techniqes and some compositions from generation to generation. In 1973, Zakir started a music band called 'Shakthi' and Zakir Hussain was the co - founder of that band. 

 Even though he wa stay at Punjab gharana, he showed some beautiful bols (compositions) and techniqes from other styles such as Farukabhad style, Lucknow style etc. He was talented for make some beautiful rhythemic patterns by using the tabla bols and the experiences of day today life. As an example, he generated the sound of steam train emgine by using a popular tabla bol is called 'Rela'. He able to play tabla with his father for a long time. 

 He able to give his duty as a tablist and accompany artist for a lot of players. The best example was Rakesh Chaurasia. Rakesh is one of the best flute player in India and Zakir able to play with Rakesh.

 Not only for the Indian crowd, Ustad Zakir hussain showed his talent and the pride of india to the international crowed. As a tablist it was a big achivement for his journey. Then finally he passed away in 2024 and i would like to tell we have to respect him and his talent so much.
