We're starting the evening today with the old familiar - Ustad Zakir Hussain on the tabla with the song Taal Mela from the album Sambandh, which showcases the various percussion instruments in India. Accompanying him are some of the finest musicians - his father Alla Rakha on the tabla, Vikku Vinayak Ram (from Shakti) on the ghatam, Ustad Sultan Khan on the sarangi, and a few others.
Our next track is by a female instrumentalist, a rare breed in classical circles, Anupama Bhagwat. Anupama is a versatile sitarist, still relatively young, but fairly well-known in Hindustani circles. She is the disciple of Pandit Bimalendu Mukherjee of the Imdadkhani Gharana, and she is renowned for her melodies, and her technical virtuosity.
Our final track is an old recording of Ustad Allauddin Khan, a multi-instrumentalist, though he was best known for his virtuosity on the sarod.

1. Zakir Hussain - Taal Mela (15:04)
