A tabla virtuoso

India has been a prominent player in bringing up new music maestros and giving them a platform to perform. Indian classical music,from its inception has a cultural confluence of both Indian and Pakistani cultural both being quite similar but interestingly different. we have seen maestros like ustad bade ghulam ali khan moving from Pakistan to India and many of them still find a lot of space to perform and create their on niche in the indian music minds. But some like ustad tari khan have come up in spite of not foraying into the indian music arena. He hails from the popular Punjab gharana, one which also belongs to the legendary ustad zakir hussain khan sahib. Lets not fall in a debate over who is better in them. Enjoy this video of ustad tari khan with pundit ramesh mishra on sarangi. You will be dumbfounded to see his command over "terekit" in this gharanedar peskkash.i hope you will like it!!!
