Taufiq the second illustrious son of Ustad Allah Rakha and brother of Zakir Hussain, is on eof the most versatile & imaginative creative minds in percussion. His sense of tone colour, his command over a wide variety of percussion instruments, style & motifs from across cultures is phenomenal. Taufiq's performance showcases the traditional flavour of tabla & the sparkle of contemporary percussion. Taufiq charmed the Swarutsav 2001 crowds with a classy fusion concert along with Karl Peters on Bass guitar, Sridhar Parthasarthy on South Indian percussions, Brazilian percussionist Bondo Fernandez, Nishad on the Keyboards & the fiery genius Niladri Kumar on Sitar.
