I am indeed very sad to learn about the death of Ustad Alla Rakha. He was a legend during his life time. He was one person who brought tabla on forefront and made it known by solo performances.
My God give him place in heaven. Amin.

Message: One of the most towering figures of the Indian musical landscape has passed. The last time I saw him was at a concert in Hyderabad where he was supposed to play with his son, Zakir who for some reason could not turn up for the occasion. Sensing the audience's disappointment at his absence, Ustad Alla Rakha said," I shall prove that I am Zakir's "baap." May his soul rest in peace. Also, my condolences to their family; losing two members within hours of each other is shocking and traumatic. My prayers are with the family.

Message: A man of few words, a man who let his hands weave the magic - A man
who would be truly missed by every music loving person in India and the world. Here is
a person who took India to the world, I think the government should confer upon Ustadji, the "Bharat Ratna". It's never too late, it was something the government should have done when the legend was alive. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. The magic of his
fingers would be truly missed.
