tablasAbout
Zakir Hussain – the foremost exponent of India's tabla drumming tradition – plays to sellout audiences wherever he goes. The Grammy award-winning Hussain is revered in both classical Indian and world music circles for his collaborations with a variety of influential musicians including George Harrison, John McLaughlin, Bela Fleck, Yo-Yo Ma, and Van Morrison. And now, with the groundbreaking nine-piece Celtic Connections – made up of master musicians from India and Scotland – he sets the stage for an exciting evening of cultural bending and blending, fusing the traditions of Indian and Celtic music.
