TISRA — ZAKIR HUSSAIN’s TRIBUTE TO SULTAN KHAN, HARI PRASAD CHAURASIA. Performs in Chicago 07 Apr 2024
CHICAGO - Indian classical music has undoubtedly evolved over time. Many wonder whether it has strayed from its roots and been diluted with modern touches, but virtuosic tablist Ustad Zakir Hussain has a different perspective: he feels that Indian music “has maintained its integrity and traditionality but at the same time has made itself valid for the time we live in.” His statement is adequately backed up by the audience reviews of his TISRA tour, in which Hussain performs alongside acclaimed flautist Debopriya Chatterjee and sarangi maestro Sabir Khan. TISRA has been a success, with over 10 performances across North America, all completely sold out.
