More than any other musician who came before him, he brought the tabla to an international stage.  His story, like the man, is legend.  I hope our conversation encourages you to dig deep into his rich catalog of astounding recordings including his own Making Music, all the Shakti albums, Planet Drum, stunning classical recordings with Ali Akbar Khan, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Hariprasad Chaurasia; his tabla solos with his Ud. Allah Rakah and much more.
