Yasar Hussain Tabla Soloist & Accompanist
Disciple of Legendary Ustad Dildar Hussain Khan Sahab
Ustad Dildar Hussain is a master musician in the field of Qawwali music. He is known for being the tabla player of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for 30 years. Ustad Dildar Hussain now carries the tradition on with his sons and his disciple Yasar Hussain from Denmark. Ustad Dildar Hussain does not play the traditional tabla that can be seen in Pakistani & Hindustani classical music but instead plays a combination that is known as the "Jori" , which is comprised of the treble "Purra" and bass "Atta Wala Dhamma" to create a deeper, warmer sound than the modern tabla set creates. This style was created with the intention to carry sound acoustically in the 12th century by the great sufi musician, poet and scholar Amir Khusrow.
