Zakir Hussain in Marciac by JL Neveu
On the eve of what would have been his 75th birthday, The Zakir Hussain Institute of Music and World Music Institute present an evening honoring Zakir Hussain—the legendary tabla virtuoso, composer, and cultural ambassador whose artistry bridged traditions and reimagined contemporary music. An ensemble of his closest friends and collaborators gather for a luminous celebration of cross-cultural harmony, timeless creativity, and the universal language of rhythm, joy, and genius.
