India lost her golden hands today. In a career spanning six decades, Zakir Hussain collaborated with Western musicians to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western music, solidifying our nation’s soft power. One of our greatest brand ambassadors, he will always be loved and respected. “Wah, Ustad”🎶
A musical genius and a cultural icon, he popularised Indian classical music at the global stage and leaves behind an impressive legacy.
A true legend. Zakir Hussain's contribution to music transcended borders, blending the rich rhythms of India with global sounds. His work didn’t just elevate Indian classical music but also brought a deep cultural understanding to the world
He would be greatly missed. Attended his concert first whilst in High school through SPIC Macay and it was absolutely captivating. He indeed steered many towards Indian Classical.
His legacy and inspiration will live on. Still, 73, so young
Truly a big loss for all music lovers. May his soul rest in peace
There is void coming through very clearly with a generation of musicians/ artist leaving the mortal form. I wonder how can we ever fill this void - Pandit Jasraj, Birju Maharaj, Pt Shiv Kumar sharma, Lata Mangeshkar in last 3-4 years . Earlier in last decade . Pandit Ravi Shankar !! He had another 20 years in him but for his illness !
RIP 🙏 The Maestro
RIP
Was the “Taj” of Indian Classical music 🎶
Ease in conducting business with a human touch
2dPray his musical lessons continue to regale us & generations to come 🥰 All musicians are immortals as their musical melody continues to enamor generations 😘🙏🏻
