Rimpa Shiv - Tabla Solo
Copyright Sense World Music 2006

Some years ago, Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain was asked to comment on a tape recording of a young Rimpa Shiv. He said: "he is about 18 years, plays very well and must not give up." She was 9 years old at the time. The maestro finally saw her perform live when she was 11 and went over and kissed her hands, giving her many tips from diet to playing better.

Rimpa Shiv, who has been blowing away audiences all over the world with her amazing playing, lives and breathes tabla and her solos possess a control, artistry, speed and power. Prepare to be mesmerized by a pair of nimble fingers that weave intricate rhymic patterns

  • she has the same haircut as zakir

  • Just because one's hands are "smaller" does not mean that they are weaker. I think she looks tense because of the way she is responding to the flow of the music; it's more stylistic than to compensate for lack of hand muscles.
