Show Notes
[REBROADCAST FROM October 16, 2024] At this year's Grammys, tabla player Zakir Hussain took home three awards, the first musician from India to win that many in one year. Hussain died this week at the age of 73, and so to celebrate his life, we revisit our conversation with him earlier this fall. He reflected on his big year and his efforts to preserve and spread Indian classical music. You can also find his special performance on New Sounds here.
