Shradhanjali - a homage to Zakir Hussain

About

**Talvin Singh** presents an extraordinary evening of rhythm, improvisation, and global musical dialogue. *Shradhanjali* honours the enduring legacy of the legendary tabla maestro Zakir Hussain—a pioneering force who, since the 1990s, brought together the world’s finest percussionists in a spirit of collaboration, virtuosity, and innovation, under the title *Masters of Percussion*. This special concert, *Shradhanjali*, continues that tradition with a stellar lineup; **Talvin Singh** is joined by • **Marcus Gilmore** (drums) • **Ananthan R Krishnan** (mridangam) • **Satin Singh** (multi-percussion) • Special guest **Tom Rogerson** (piano) The evening opens with a hypnotic duet between Tom Rogerson and Talvin Singh, blending tabla, piano, and subtle electronic textures into a deeply immersive soundscape. The second half brings together a powerful percussion ensemble, where traditions meet innovation. Expect intricate rhythmic interplay, improvisation of the highest order, and a celebration of shared musical language—uniting jazz, Indian classical, and global percussion forms. A rare opportunity to witness master musicians in conversation, Shradhanjali is both a tribute and a living continuation of a revolutionary musical vision. *Presented by Asian Arts Agency as part of South Asian Sounds at Southbank Centre.*
