00:00We have with us one tabla master from Maharashtra, Pune, Ramdas Parshule.
00:09Ramdas ji, first tell us what is the importance of tabla in Indian classical music?
00:18Tabla is such a musical instrument which is the most popular percussion instrument of the world.
00:25Not just India, not just North India.
00:29Because it has a wide range.
00:32From dhrupad dhamar music, khayal music to bollywood music, jazz music.
00:39It blends with all of them.
00:42It has a wide range.
00:46Actually, when khayal music started with dhrupad dhamar music,
00:53tabla was born and tabla came later.
01:00When khayal music was becoming popular,
01:03tabla was created to accompany it.
01:09And that also started becoming popular.
01:11There are six gharanas in gayan, and there are six gharanas in tabla.
01:20It has a long tradition.
01:22It has been created by thousands of people.
01:28Ramdas ji, which gharana do you belong to?
01:32My lineage is from Furukhabad gharana.
01:35My guruji is Pandit Tal Yogi Suresh Trivalkar ji.
01:39His guruji is Pandit Pandarinath Nageshkar ji.
01:42And his guruji is Ustad Amir Hussain Khan sahib.
01:45Who was the caliph of Furukhabad gharana.
01:48So my lineage is from Furukhabad gharana.
01:51But these days, all tabla players play from different gharanas.
01:56I also play from different gharanas.
01:58Ustad ji, we had the biggest loss in 2024
02:01due to Zakir Hussain's death.
02:03What was the style of his tabla player?
02:06And what impact does he have on you?
02:10Ustad Zakir Hussain has no impact on any tabla player.
02:16There is no one like him.
02:18We can say that,
02:21like we say BC and AD,
02:25before Zakir Hussain and after Zakir Hussain.
02:29We can write history of tabla in two periods.
02:34What is the reason for that?
02:36Because Zakir bhai made tabla so popular.
02:41And not only in India, he made tabla popular all over the world.
02:45He played tabla with musicians from all over the world.
02:50And he spread tabla all over the world.
02:53And he had a unique musicality in playing tabla.
02:59It was a unique style.
03:00No one had played before him.
03:02He brought a revolution in tabla.
03:08And the tabla that is being played now,
03:11cannot be played without the influence of Zakir bhai.
03:14It is such a big contribution of Zakir bhai.
03:18Zakir Hussain has done a great job.
03:20He is a great Ustad.
03:21He has given great respect to all the Ustads.
03:25He is a new generation.
03:27How passionate is he to learn tabla?
03:29And what does he want to learn?
03:31Actually, the effect of Zakir bhai was that
03:35In any city, village, music school, academy,
03:42or university music department,
03:45most of the students are from tabla.
03:48The attraction that he created to learn tabla,
03:52in a young generation,
03:54that is amazing.
03:56Because of his influence,
04:00so many tabla players are being created in the new generation.
04:04And they are playing so well.
04:06I would like to say that
04:10the development and progress in tabla
04:13in the last 30-40 years,
04:16is probably the same in any other genre of music.
04:21Like singing or instrumental music.
04:26The progress in tabla,
04:28the new tabla players,
04:31the new artists are coming,
04:34they have probably come from other places.
04:38So, this is a big contribution of Zakir bhai.
04:41Because of him, the progress of tabla is progressing.
04:46Because of him, and of course,
04:48his contemporary tabla players,
04:51like my guruji,
04:53Pandit Swapan Choudhary,
04:55Pandit Anindo Chatterjee,
04:57Pandit Kumar Bose,
04:58these five Pandavas,
05:00of that generation,
05:02because of them, all this is happening.
05:04So, there are five Pandavas in the tabla generation,
05:07and the craze for tabla is increasing day by day.
05:11And Zakir Hussain has laid a foundation
05:13for our youth,
05:15to take tabla, Indian culture and music forward.
