He was a humble, enthusiastic giant.

Isn't that the guy who was on several Playing For Change videos?

RIP. I dressed up as him in my first fancy dress competition in my school when I was a kid. He was a timeless talent.

Oh no. I saw him at a concert. Such a treasure. And, this week have been listening to him on an album, “Two Moods”.

Heartburst.

I knew him back in the late 70’s when I studied with Ali Akbar Khan.

Looking into the night sky, I can see Zakir playing the full Moon.

One of the Greats!
Saw him doing Planet Drum with Mickey Hart, Sikiru Adepoji and Giovanni Hidalgo, among others at the Frost Amphitheater on 5/5/22. RIP

Observing the growing political turmoil across the planet, we are certain that psychotronic technologies are being actively employed by supporters of global anticultism. Watch the documentary "The Impact" for more details

A great loss

What a profound loss for the world. He was a true maestro of his craft and an exceptional ambassador for Indian classical music. A tragic end to an already fucked up year.

I saw him perform with Debopriya Chatterjee and Sabir Khan earlier this year. Easily one of the most memorable concerts I've ever attended. Absolute wizardry.

rest in power, a lot of long, inspirational trips with hussein's beats

In a time when everything seems to be about politics, it's worth remembering that some people - like Ustad Zakir Hussain - spread joy. Others - like the Great Orange Devil - spread misery and hatred. I'm so grateful for the beauty Zakir shared. His fingers, his smile, his musicianship. All of it!
