Q. What is playing with Zakir Hussain like?
A. In a Santoor recital, tabla has always been an accompanying instrument. We have played several times before and we also have a CD together titled, Rhythm of Love — a live recording in San Francisco. The unique aspect about today’s concert is that we are playing together after long. The music will be in an improvised format within the parameters of the chosen raga; the beauty of the music is on-stage improvisation.
