In recent times, a tabla player is recognized as an integral part of a performance, and not a mere accompanist.  

In this regard, the contribution made by Zakir Hussain, the internationally renowned tabla maestro, is indeed invaluable. He has introduced elements of jazz, fusion and world music into the tabla repertoire, thus widening its creative gamut. In this performance, the inimitable master will showcase the versatility of tabla by playing solo as well as providing rhythmic accompaniment to sitar.

Trained by his father, Kartick Kumar,  Niladri Kumar has had exposure to world music, and today, he is a prominent instrumentalist representing the younger generation of musicians.
