Zakir Hussain & John McLaughlin - Lotus Feet!

This great track is taken from the live album "Remember Shakti" (Disc 1) of Zakir Hussain & John McLaughlin (Released 1999).

Zakir Hussain is considered the greatest tabla player on earth. Englishman John McLaughlin is thought by many to be one of the best guitarist on earth. Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia is considered a rare combination of innovator and traditionalist. He has expanded the expressive possibilities of the bansuri through his masterful blowing technique. T.H. "Vikku" Vinayakaram is the leading ghatam player, effectively accomplishing more than any other ghatam player before him to popularize the instrument on a global level. An intuitive combination of styles and one of the best examples of what one deems music to be. Listen & Enjoy it.

Personnel includes:
Zakir Hussain (vocals, tabla, percussion)
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar)
Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (bansuri flute)
Thetakudi Harihara "T.H. Vikku" Vinayakram (ghatam)
Uma Metha (tanpura)

@tiad That which is imperfection is made into perfection by the purity of the performer's motives. The human qualities of love and innocence elevates imperfection into a state of perfect being. For example Nana Caymmi (Brazillian songstress) has a smokey voice that often cracks. But when she sings of love, joy and anguish then all of these technical deficiencies lose their significance. Because of her sincere heart, she becomes perfect in all of her imperfections.
