Ustad Rashid Khan and Ustad Shaukat Hussain Khan

A rather special playlist this time, with a twist at the end. To start us off today, we have the exquisite vocals of Ustad Rashid Khan, and from there we go into a more percussive mood.

1. Rashid Khan - Raag Bairagi (19:56)
2. Rashid Khan - Raag Bahar (9:16)

Ustad Shaukat Hussain Khan (1930-1996) was of the greatest tabla players produced by Pakistan. He is part of the Punjab and Delhi gharanas and his skills at solo percussion as well as accompaniment are legendary. We have two tracks featuring Shaukat Hussain Khan. The first is a solo performance in Teentaal. The second one demands an explanation. It is a fusion track by Jan Garbarek on the saxophone, Anouar Brahem on the oud (an arabic intstrument similar to a lute) and Shaukat Hussain on the tabla.

3. Shaukat Hussain - Teentaal (10:06)
4. Jan Garbarek, Anouar Brahem, Shaukat Hussain - Sull Lull (16:54)
