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.

Tehzeeb Festival 2010 Karachi - Live Recordings II

Tehzeeb Festival 2010 Karachi - Live Recordings II

Many claim that classical music is a dying art as the younger generation is no longer interested in listening to or learning it. Perhaps that is true – in much of the world, classical arts are not very popular with the masses.  Even so, it cannot be denied that they have determinedly played an immense role in shaping the cultures of all societies. To understand their importance is the first step in ensuring their survival; patronage, support and promotion from the state and the people is the second. Tehzeeb Foundation has taken the first step. Now resolutely pursuing the second step, it is happy to report that people’s interest in classical music is slowly, but surely, awakening.

Tehzeeb Studio Recordings

Editorial Note By: Malahat Awan, President, Tehzeeb Foundation Of Pakistan

“The spirit behind Tehzeeb Foundation is to make a quality difference in promoting our culture. Our team is not new to the job but they have given themselves a more challenging assignment: world-class recitals and pure classics!


Yet in view of the upheavals - political and social - there was a big question whether this would be sustainable or not. Tehzeeb team took up the challenge and, by the grace of God, has managed to keep its commitment.

We aim at bringing the finesse of fine arts and classical music to society. We also aim towards the revival of aesthetic culture. The fabulous response that we have received from the public has been very encouraging.

In our Festival and other recitals (including our studio projects), eminent artistes of India and Pakistan have been requisitioned to perform. Our publications are aimed at promoting art and the artiste at the same time.” Source: http://tehzeebfoundation.org/
