This needs to be expanded. The discography is woefully incomplete, and many important performances and projects Zakir Hussain has worked on are not even mentioned. Also, it is a stylistic wreck. Help this entry.

This is so incredibly overhyped it makes you queasy reading it. Cutting out the hype leaves about two words. This is the exact opposite of neutral.

the article is almost entirely POV, there needs to be a more objective look at this man. I agree that he is a wonderful Tabla player, but an encylopedia article requires objectivity.

There is little to no mention of his work in hindustani music. He is far more than a popular musician who works with the Beatles and Bill Laswell, he is an active player of classical music.

[edit] Hype

I tried to remove some of the hype; it remains for someone with a stronger stomach to do further cleaning. What is it about fans of Indian musicians? Must every one be the greatest, most distinguished, most revered, with the vastest talent, of the utmost importance? They should also put in some of his students whom have made it far in the real world.

[edit] Youth

When the chap was young he spent his time with a wooden stick whacking his bald father's head and making a hell lot of noise cause of his dad's iron head. Thats how he got all talented and all, so he owes it to his dad. Citations will come soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.152.71 (talk) 13:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
