00:00So, my lineage is from Farrukhabad Gharana.
00:03But nowadays, all the tabla players play from different gharanas.
00:07Similarly, I also play.
00:09Ustad ji, the biggest loss we had in 2024 was due to Zakir Hussain's death.
00:14What was the style of his tabla players?
00:17And what effect does it have on you?
00:21There won't be any tabla player on whom Ustad Zakir Hussain has no effect.
00:28There won't be anyone.
00:30We can say that, like we do BC and AD,
00:36similarly, before Zakir Hussain and after Zakir Hussain.
00:40We can write the history of tabla in two periods.
00:46So, what is the reason for that?
00:48Because Zakir bhai made tabla so popular.
00:52And not just in India, he made it popular all over the world.
00:56He played tabla with musicians from all over the world.
01:01And he spread tabla all over the world.
01:04And he had a unique musicality in playing tabla.
01:10It was a unique style.
01:12No one had played it before him.
01:14So, he brought a revolution in tabla.
01:19And the tabla that is being played now,
01:22cannot be played without the influence of Zakir bhai.
01:26It is such a big contribution of Zakir bhai.
01:31Which raag will you play today?
01:35And what will be your main source today?
01:38Today, I have come as a tabla accompanist.
01:43And I will play tabla with Vidoshi Ashwini Bire Deshpande.
01:48She is a great musician.
01:54So, I will play whatever she says.
01:59Zakir Hussain has done a great job.
02:02He is a great teacher.
02:04He has given great respect to all the teachers.
02:07He is a new generation.
02:09How passionate is he to learn tabla?
02:11And what does he want to learn?
02:13Actually, the effect of Zakir bhai was that
02:17in any city, village, music school, academy
02:24or university music department,
02:27most of the students are from the tabla department.
02:30So, the attraction he created to learn tabla
02:34in the young generation,
02:36that is amazing.
02:38So, because of his influence,
02:43so many tabla players are being created in the new generation.
02:47And they are playing so well.
02:49And I would like to say that
02:53the development and progress in tabla
02:56in the last 30-40 years,
02:59is probably the same in any other music genre.
03:04Be it singing or instrumental music.
03:09The progress in tabla,
03:11the number of new tabla players,
03:16is probably the same in any other genre.
03:21So, this is a great contribution of Zakir bhai.
03:24Because of him, the progress of tabla is progressing.
03:29And of course,
03:31the contemporary tabla players,
03:33like my guruji,
03:35Pandit Swapan Chaudhary,
03:37Pandit Anindo Chatterjee,
03:39Pandit Kumar Bose,
03:41the five Pandavas of that generation,
03:44because of them, all this is happening.
03:47So, there are five Pandavas in the tabla generation,
03:50and the craze for tabla is increasing day by day.
03:53And Zakir Hussain has created a niche
03:56for our youth,
03:58to take tabla, Indian culture and music forward.
