Dildar Hussain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dildar Hussain is best known as the tabla player who was a member of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Qawwali party until Nusrat's death in 1997. Along with Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, Nusrat's brother, Dildar had been a member of the party since its formation. Dildar does not play the traditional tabla that can be seen in Hindustani Classical music, but instead a combination of what is known as the jori, a descendant of the pakhawaj, as the treble, and the dhamma as the bass, to create a deeper, warmer sound than the bayan used in the modern tabla set creates. He can sometimes be seen today accompanying Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Dildar Hussain learned from the great tabla master Ustad Alla Rakha.
