  • Ustad Tafo Khan has the best knowlege of doing a rela and finishing right on the spot with the harmonium. wah ustad.

  • wah wah mascha allah kia baate hai perfekt

  • Tafo's playing is amazing as far as speed, but somehow lacks musicality in a dynamic aspect.

  • i have no words for this ustad ,

    reciting the bols, is very important

    but ther are sum bols, which cant be recitd through words , tht cums from heart

    :)

    ustad tafo khan rocks :)

  • simply superb! Not heard like that before. Unfortunate, that I came to know about him only after 30 years of hearinf some great Tabla....

  • ustadji i am humbled ....simply out of the world! thanks raag rang!!

  • @hindia94 don't forget CHATUR LALL.

  • When he speeds i would love to hear him recite his bols as well as playing. I am a tabla student for ten years and western drummer all my life. There is always a degree of separation from the hand and the mouth in tabla playing. Means very few players can recite exactly as they play and vice versa. The case is usually that players play faster than recite. I wonder what his speed of recitation is? Like or dislike is an opinion. Respect for his riyaz and god given talent though.

  • Amazing is the word,people who compare him with other great tabla player are fools because they are against the rewayat of classical music...this is not west...here these great musicians from pakistan and india became part of guldasta.

    zakirfanful has no knowledge,pray for him so that he becomes wise man.

  • The two greatest Ustads of all time is on stage with Ustad Tafo. That speaks volume for morons who compare him with other tabla Players. Look closely, there is Ustad Salamet Ali Khan Sahib and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahib. May both rest in peace
