Zakir Hussain & Masters of Percussion

• Melissa Hié: balafon, djembe, vox;
• Zakir Hussain: tabla, percussion, vox;
• Sabir Khan: sarangi, sruti box, vox;
• Tupac Mantilla: drums, percussion;
• Navin Sharma: dholak.

The crowd was really quiet and respectful tonight – possibly too much so, as there were times I thought they were being too polite.

Zakir dropped teases of Sunshine of Your Love several times during the show.

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
