This will be a message to Gen Z that one must continue to learn. Zakir Hussain was born famous as he is the son of Ustad Atah Rakra, a renowned tabla player. Quite naturally, he was inclined towards tabla from a very young age. When Zakir was a child, he performed at concerts.

He has popularized Tabla across the Universe, his biography reflects an amazing mix of talent, focused hand work and an ability to adapt.”
