I am using this clip to promote Ustad Amir Hussain Khan, one of the greatest tabla players (1897-1969). I could find a few audio clips of his playing online and no clips on youtube. You can find a CD of him online, but I don't know about legitimate sites selling the CD. You can see his album listing entitled rhythms of india tabla recital. This listing is under:
rhythms of india tabla recital [gramophone co. of india, stc 04b 7140, cassette, 1983]. The clip of him used for this video is the Teental Solo on this record (pretty sure).

  • Amazing this music is powerful almost put me in medatation listening to it

  • @gsbextreme

    I feel that's why it appealed to me, because it puts me into meditation.

  • wow. I am humbled. The older generation of tabla players have a certain "thing" in their playing that I cannot put into words. This Ustad has it. I've heard recordings of Ustad Afaq Hussain from lucknow and he has "it" also. They play speedy but somehow it comes across different. Pandit Anindo Chatterjee, Ustad Tafo Khan, Usatd Tari Khan and Yogesh Samsi I have heard play fast but they lack this certain quality. It doesn't come off like this. It sounds to forced by the younger players.

  • very noble karma you have done! please do post any more if you have them. thanks!

see all

  • Usd Amir Hussain Sahib ki chant aur lau bahut roshan thi. Ye 4th/ 5th black ka tabla pahle bajaya jata tha jiski lau sureeli hoti thi. Aajkal teep ki tabliya baj rahi hai ............tabaliya koi bhi bajaye , kucch der ke baad kanon ko chubhne lagti hai .Badi muhar 6-7-8 inch ke table hi tanpure ki tarah bolte hain aur meditational sound paida karte hain.

  • Thanks for this Sharing and posting for me to hear something you always look for opportunity
