4.0 out of 5 stars a passionate, innovative and articulate journey into Indian rhythm, July 17, 2006

By	The Delite Rancher (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)

"Zakir Hussain & The Rhythm Experience" is a great World Music album with a focus on Indian percussion. This will resonate with those familiar with Mickey Hart's percussive saga. Zakir Hussain seems to have learned well from his time in Hart's Diga Rhythm Band. In many respects, this could be a more authentic sequel to "Diga." More authentic yes, but this is not for the purists. If the listener seeks true authenticity, go with Mahaprush Misra or Bhai Gaitonde; this is World Music. The album features a variety of musical styles including Classical Indian, Jazz, World and even Pop. While a few moments have a cheesy 1980's sounding production, it's minor enough to not spoil the experience as a whole. The percussion and improvisation is spellbinding. This is an essential recording for enthusiasts of the tablas. "Zakir Hussain & The Rhythm Experience" is a passionate, innovative and articulate journey into Indian drumming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tabla mastery, August 9, 2002

By	"soldiermonkey" (Felton, ca USA) - See all my reviews

Watching him and Tabla beat science play live, was a treat, the blend they throw together is both very tangible and visceral at the same time, this album displays hussains earlier attempts at what i feel are the roots of the TBS experience. Awesome album, unbelievable hand speed and yes he is the man. check out TBS.
