Ustad Tariq Tafu Khan - Tabla Nawaz (Ripped Cassette)



This album features great maestros of the majestic percussion instrument tabla – Ustad Alla Rakha, Pandit Kishan Maharaj and Ustad Zakir Hussain as a special collection. The maestros present the entire spectrum of the Tal.

Qawwali is a traditional form of Islamic song found in India and Pakistan. The word Qawwali is derived from the Arabic word Qaol which means ‘axiom’ or ‘dictum’. A Qawwal is one who sings qawwali, or the dictums of the prophets and praises of God. The qawwali is closely linked to the spiritual and artistic life of northern India and Pakistan.

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.
