We have lost a one-in-a-century artist.
Zakir Hussain was the only musician I know who was celebrated and beloved by Hindustani master artists and broad audiences alike. He was one of my first musical heroes. No one did more to expand the possibilities of tabla as a global instrument. Rest in taal.
