Tune of the Week: RIP Zakir Hussain

Zakir Hussain was a master tabla player who continued his father’s (Alla Rakha) work in bringing awareness of Indian Classical music to an international audience. As his father played with Ravi Shankar at Woodstock, Zakir played in Shakti with jazz guitarist John McLaughlin and later toured extensively with bluegrass master and polymath Bela Fleck. RIP to a truly transcendent musician!
