Here @zakirhq9 ji talks about the #Taalim he received from his father.

Ustad #AllahRakha was one of the most revered tabla players of the 20th century. Born on April 29th, 1919 in Punjab, British India, Allah Rakha’s musical journey began at an early age under the guidance of his father, Ustad Bade Ghulam Qadir Khan.

Allah Rakha’s mastery of the #tabla, was unmatched. His skillful playing, marked by lightning-fast fingers and intricate rhythms, earned him a reputation as a virtuoso.

Beyond his prowess as a performer, Allah Rakha was also a dedicated teacher, passing on his knowledge to numerous students, many of whom went on to become notable tabla players themselves.

His contributions to Indian classical music earned him several awards, including the Padma Shri and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.

Allah Rakha’s legacy continues to resonate in the world of music, inspiring generations of tabla players and enthusiasts alike. He remains an icon whose influence transcends borders and generations.

This entire session by Zakirji was conducted at Vrindaban Gurukul earlier this year. The recording is available at Vrindaban Gurukul’s YouTube channel.
