Aadi Anant Music Festival

As one of India's leading percussive instruments, tabla has played a vital role in shaping the presentation of Hindustani music and Kathak dance. As a result, today, the tabla player is recognized as an integral part of a performance. The contribution made by Zakir Hussain, the internationally renowned tabla maestro, is indeed invaluable. In this performance, the inimitable master will showcase the versatility of tabla by presenting a solo as well as providing rhythmic accompaniment to bansuri, a bamboo flute of ancient origin. Having trained with the legendary flautist, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Rakesh Chaurasia has had exposure to the world music. Today, he is a prominent flautist representing the younger generation of musicians.
