Over the past 5 months I have spiritually profited from the enormous generosity of the youtube community by posting tabla, indian classical, & ghazals compositions. This video is my first contribution as a "thank you" to everyone who took the time to post and share their precious videos. Today the title "Ustad" is being applied to almost anyone who can do something better than the reviewer. In the true sense of the word, Zakir Hussain is the exemplification of an "Ustad" because he's not only mechanically crisp and well-balanced on both drums, but uses the tabla as an extension of his mind to compliment the current mood to stir & stun audiences. Some have better clarity, some have faster hands, but indeed there are only a handful of tabla players that can hold the stage with Zakir and match his "mitaas" or sweetness. He's truly in a class by himself. In this piece, you will see Zakir's comical and fun-loving personality as well as his mastery of the tabla and Indian sangeet in general. In the world of taal, he's what you would call the "total package". Hope you enjoy the video. It's all in Hindi though.

  • yea but it is like ...

    yea but it is like hindi because it is common in most of the region. The other languages that are major in other states is like spanish in us. Not every indian speaks english anyways. It is just sometime it is a few words or phrases. It is like when you would say odios in da us. Over here some people try to be cute and say goodbye and thankyou in different languages.I am aware that indian people speak english fully but it is used mostly in business. People usually speak hindi if other people do.

    yes, that's completely true, English is the only language that can be understood all across India, anyway here they are not exactly speaking English, they are just using some words and phrases while speaking Hindi

  • because the British ...

    because the British ruled India for quite a long time. Indian culture has always been a magic mix of many different things and the same happens with languages... it's rather common for Hindi speakers to mix in English words or full sentences while they speak.
