Sorry for the late notice on this one. I just learned about this show today.

Zakir Hussain is a master tabla player who has collaborated with Mickey Hart, Babatunde Olatunji, Sikiru Adepoju, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Giovanni Hidalgo, and many other world beat musicians.

There’s a clip from a 2004 Zakir Hussain’s Masters of Percussion show at YouTube.

Under the direction of percussion legend Zakir Hussain, Masters of Percussion offers the audience an opportunity to experience both melodic (raga) and rhythmic (tala) development and will feature the traditional repertoire from both Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) classical traditions, North Indian drumming on tabla in solo and duet as well as excursions exploring the frontier between traditional and contemporary, folk and classical. Featuring: Taufiq Qureshi, various percussion; Ganesh & Kumaresh, violins; Sabir Khan, sarangi; Sridar Parthasarathy, mridangam; Navin Sharma, dholak; The Motilal Dhakis from Bengal.
