By Mahesh Kale
In conversation with Zakir Hussain
By Mahesh Kale ft. Zakir Hussain
Welcome to Behind the Music with Zakir Hussain and Mahesh Kale.
We're in a conversation with two brilliant minds in the music space - the living legend Zakir Hussain, and our very own Mahesh Kale.
Zakir Hussain is a name and a legend. His musical influence goes beyond just his accomplishments, and into a deep impact on the global music industry. Receiver of the Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan, there's little that he hasn't been wildly successful at. With a legacy to uphold for literal centuries, his word on music is often set in stone and comes with measured and tested wisdom.
Mahesh Kale is a critically acclaimed vocalist with a voice that can mesmerize millions, having done that on multiple occasions across the globe.
In this live event, we'll be exploring how Zakirji sees music today, his learnings from the past, and how he fell in love with the Rhythm of the Music.
This conversation is free for all to attend, and one worth being a part of.
