[frijou]

Pure bliss!

It would be fascinating to hear Zakir play with Jordan Rudess of Dream Theatre...(And if I may dream, Steve Vai as well...) Peace

[chilln04]

Such a masterful performance and the humble gesture at the end is perfect.

[AshNZ1]

4:00 onwards - no words. He looks fairly young in this video - when was it taken?

[ampkg]

@AshNZ1 It was either in 1992 or 93, he was in his early 40s :)

[vmdave]

ustad zakir hussain is BHARAT RATNA..

[Countrychiddler]

No thinking. Only God.

[digdog88]

haha awesome solo he messed up a lil on his kttk at around 3:10 when he moved his tabla..haha its all good great performance

[freakingLORD]

I am a Tabla player, and this is my first time listening to such a solo. he is damn good... he is in my idol list now..

[Quarker99]

@freakingLORD as if he wasn't already!

[xRamirox]

Amazing

[thisislesh]

[khushalbhadra]

[Lichoudaris]

WHAT THE HELL AT 3:08 ONWARDS!!!! what a gun

[321tablashiv]

wah wah kya bath hay ustad ji

ustad zakir hussain is just great !!

[sumantirukovela]

two masterminds together

[nyartmaker]

God's hands. Now you know what they look like.

[Blackthorne369]

Oh this is GLORIOUS! Such articulation! And the older gentlemen, Ravi Shankar?, he just seems so proud as he looks on. Did Mr. Shankar train him? For it almost seemed like a master watching his aprentice come into his own. Very entertaining. I wonder if I could see a performance live? Does anyone know? Could you tell me please?!

[BCguitarist666]

It is Ravi Shankar. I've got a Ravi album with this track on it. So awesome that they could collaborate. Wonderful isn't it!

[allfieldsreq]

No...Pandit Ji did not train him. But, Pandit Ravi Ji, did see Zakir blossom into Ustad Zakir Hussain.

[pearl1729]

@Blackthorne369

u r right. so entertaining. ravi played with his father and now with his son. but still a bond of passions. :)

[acepilotrjv]

It's not Aashish Khan. His name is Partho Sarathi, a student of Shankarji himself.

[keatonr87]

who is the guy at 0:09??

[Balraj50]

that is Ashish Khan the Sarod Player

[traua20]

this is amazing!

[DrumTeknique]

how can u even compare the two? rimpa shiv is absolutely no where near knowledge of rhythm, and musicality that zakir hussain. Zakir hussain is on a totally different level than rimpa shiv.

[DrumTchr]

I did NOT compare Zakir and Rimpa did I?

[zegrated]

I just saw him perform this LIVE and this honestly does no justice to it. Seeing it in person is the only way to see how truly unbelievable this is.

[chelpydog]

I have this on DVD and the whole thing is MAGICAL!!!

[shahidtiwana]

He is truely a magician.

[sourabhnayan]

awesome..

[GabriKnight]

139th time of listening to this clip - that's >16 hours of bliss!

How was the concert? Would have loved to be there but now live the opposite side of country. Saw Shankar perform at the Barbican 5 years or so ago.

Still wish I knew where this recording was made and how to get hold of the whole concert.

Peace and love.

[rougecat007]

it's ravi shankar : the concert for world peace. it's out on dvd

[gsingh93]

The concert was amazing worth every penny. This was recorded at the royal albert hall in London in 1993 i think.

[royyour]

@GabriKnight You can download that instead coming back to utube 139 !!!! times.

[GabriKnight]

Does anyone where to get the whole video / sound recording of this concert? What was it called / when / where was it performed please?

[1rann1]

wow his hands move soooooooooo fast! beautiful!

[shahidtiwana]

wow unbelievable the best.

[GabriKnight]

This is now my all time favourite video on Youtube. Unbelievably exquisite!!!

[GabriKnight]

This is by far my favourite ever recording by any artist.

It sounds modern - like an intelligent drum & bass track played by hand than a classical performance.

The backing seems western & reminds of a grandfather clock, counting down four quick seconds at a time. The tabla accentuates, with a discernable undulation even at the fastest speeds that emphasises each pendulum swing!

Lol at 5:45 when he casually chalks his hand in a fraction of a second in the midst of drumming chaos ; )

[Ajiteshsrivastava198]

nice vidio an so queit zakir sir nice laykaari

[vrush253]

Absolutely just brilliant!!

[GabriKnight]

Ditto!

[ram97tabla]

Amazing sound. Does anyone know what a phyta thekha is? I'm not sure that's how you spell it. Amazing performance. He has such a light and beautiful style of playing.

[amrika5]

excellent

[indianmusicdanceluvr]

no. he's still alive and healthy...he just doesn't travel very long distances...he's in his 80's...

[amarnamriju]

what's the difference between "ustad" and "pandit." are these ranks or just random titles or what?

[gsingh93]

Ustad or Pandit is a name given to a perfomer who has mastered that particular art. Ustad is giving to a muslim or sikh performer and pandit is given to hindu or bengali performers.

[himu90]

Well they are pretty much the same.

if the guru is Hindu, he is a "Pandit" but if he i a Muslim, he's a "Ustad".

These titles are named after a person has spent almost his entire life practicing, learning and performing - however it is the experience which is important. These are not official names, but names which spread around.

[grb63]

Awesome!!!

[himu90]

Also, just would like to add at 2:26 he touches his left ear, this is to show respect to Ut. Ahmed Jan Thirakwa, whose teka ZakirJi is playing.

How humble is that? Very!

[BABAMUGHALBABASAHEB]

not theka but qaida.

[sarukhani]

truly amazing

[himu90]

This just excellent. No words can really match this performance...but as we are no gods we have to use the words lol

[xtm800]
