Tabla Maestro Zakir Hussain Honored with Musical Tributes at SF Farewell

Zakir Hussain was laid to rest, on Thursday, at the Fernwood cemetery, in San Francisco, as renowned percussionist A Sivamani and other artists performed on their drums a little distance away in a tribute to the tabla maestro.

Hussain, one of the world's most accomplished percussionists, died at a San Francisco hospital, on Monday, due to complications arising from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease. He was 73. Hundreds of his admirers gathered at Hussain's funeral to pay their last respects.

Sivamani told PTI Video, "Rhythm is God, that is you Zakir bhai. I learned a lot in our journey from 1982 till now. Every moment you are here with us in the rhythm. Every time I hit the rhythm, you are there. We love you Zakir Bhai. Have a lovely journey. Please give my pranam to all the masters."
