Rahul Sharma & Amit Kavthekar: Tribute to Shivkumar Sharma and Zakir Hussain

Two extraordinary musicians, santoor (hammered dulcimer) player Rahul Sharma and tabla (drums) player Amit Kavthekar, pay tribute to two of the greatest musicians in Indian music in recent years. Shivkumar Sharma, India’s foremost master of the santoor, was responsible for developing the santoor from a little known Kashmiri folk instrument into a solo instrument in the classical North Indian repertoire. Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, an international phenomenon, was one of the world’s most influential musicians and celebrated as the finest percussionist in world music. Both Rahul Sharma and Amit Kavthekar played with these two legendary artists.
