ZAKIR HUSSAIN MASTERS OF PERCUSSION show 

On Sunday, April 21 at 7:30pm, ZAKIR HUSSAIN MASTERS OF PERCUSSION show will be presented by WorldMusic/CrashArts  at Berklee Performance Center, 136 Massachusetts Ave, Boston. 

Tabla superstar Zakir Hussain is appreciated in both the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon. Masters of Percussion began as an outgrowth of Zakir’s duet tours with his late father, the legendary Ustad Allarakha, as their biennial appearances provided a platform for rarely heard rhythm traditions from India. Over time, the ensemble has expanded to include great drummers and percussionists from many world traditions, including jazz and the occasional stringed instrument. 2019 will be the centennial year of Allarakha’s birth, making this a very special concert. Zakir Hussain will be joined by the astonishing Niladri Kumar on sitar, the peerless Eric Harland (Charles Lloyd, Sangam) on Western drums, and the Kerala Drummers from the Southwestern coast of India.

Non-profit organization World Music/CRASHarts creates one-of-a-kind experiences brought about by the interaction of artists and audiences. The organization believes performing arts to be a basic form of communication and an essential part of the expression of one’s humanity and full participation in society.
