The sound of tabla makes you want to dance, and the wooden floor resonates from the subwoofer below my desk. Sambandh is cyclical, it is smooth, making you want to clap with it while driving to work. Truly relaxing music.

The album is a masterpiece by the maestro, a must have for anyone who likes percussion.

This album is a musical exhibition of the drums of India; Zakir Bhai uses almost every available percussion instrument produced in India in this album. Sounds of the Mridangham (sp?), and Tabla are obvious, but if you listen carefully, you will here a myriad of different noises that simply tantalize and excite the ear for more.

The entire album flows perfectly, and each song will have you nodding your head and slapping your sore legs to the beat. And if not that, then it will certainly make you long for those nostalgic days back in India during the monsoon.

There is also a pleasant cameo by Zakir Hussein's late father Ustad Allah Rakha; the sheer magnitude of rhythmic magic created by these two necessitates that these piece be in your musical collection. It is a Masterpiece, and nothing less.
