Terrific musical journey from Mahim lanes to global stage
The Free Press Journal|December 17, 2024
Ustad Zakir Hussain, the cult figure of Hindustani music, breathed his last in the United States yesterday.
Amarendra Dhaneshwar

His unexpected demise has cast a spell of gloom on the world of music. Every music lover, irrespective of his caste, creed or language is genuinely shocked and grieved by the sudden exit that the great performer has taken.

Over the last two months, he was cancelling his programme bookings citing health reasons. No organiser believed that the health issue could be so serious that they could be permanently deprived of Zakir Hussian’s majestic presence on the stage.

The 73-year-old maestro earned the distinction of being addressed as the ‘Ustad’ at a very young age, thanks to his precocity and virtuosity. Very few city dwellers know that Zakir Hussain was a Mahim Kapad Bazaar boy who grew up in the vicinity of Mahim and Shivaji Park area. He was formally educated at St. Michel’s school and joined St. Xavier's College.
