Ustad Shaukat Hussain - Tabla (Ripped Cassette)

image

Any mention of the tabla at once brings to my mind the name of Ustad Shaukat Hussain. He was a great soloist but also a wonderful provider of accompaniment to singers. And this is a rare thing, for the soloist derives his energies from the flare of his ego, whereas the art of accompaniment requires the very opposite of an artiste, i.e. an ability to subdue his own performance and use it only to bring out the singer’s talent. Ustad Shaukat Hussain was the best of both worlds, as they say, and in this seemingly contradictory doubleness lay his greatness. Shaukat was born at Phagwara in district Jullundhur, now India, to a family of professional musicians. His father, Mian Maula Bakhsh, was a dhrupad singer. But young Shaukat was drawn to percussion from an early age.
