Ustad Tari Khan | Tabla Solo

Tabla • 1h 30m

Recorded at Darbar Festival 2023, on 26th October, at Milton Court, Barbican, London.

Musicians:
- Ustad Tari Khan (Tabla)
- Prakash Pal (Harmonium)

Considered the greatest master of tabla accompaniment for the ghazal genre, Khan uniquely invented a new tabla soundscape or trademark style for the 6 and 8 beat rhythmic cycles and in doing so he became a global sensation and trendsetter. Khan’s ability to maximise tension and release during his accompaniment concerts have left audiences in awe. He has accompanied ghazal singer, Ghulam Ali, as well as the late great masters, Mehdi Hassan and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, to name but a few. Trained in the Punjab gharana (school of music), he is the student of Ustad Miyan Shaukat Hussain. Born in Lahore, Pakistan from a traditional rababi family (musicians who performed in the Golden Temple, the sanctum sanctorum of the Sikh gurdwaras). In this first major UK tabla solo, Khan takes you on a tour of the Punjab style of tabla and mesmerises you with the magical improvised rhythmic patterns he become known for.
