With the passing of Ustad Alla Rakha (born: Allarakha Kahn) on February 3, 2000, from a heart attack, India lost one of its most influential musicians. Called the Einstein of rhythm by Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart, Rakha helped introduce Indian classical music to the western world with his tabla playing. A longtime accompanist of sitarist Ravi Shankar, Rakha is remembered for the highly melodic rhythms that he coaxed from his instrument. Shortly after his death, Indian president K.R. Narayanan announced that an uncommon pulsation has been stilled. His wrists, palms, and fingers produced from the tabla percussion of magical quality which maintained the tenor and tempo of Indias uniquely assimilative musical culture.
The son of a farmer, Rakha was born in the Phagwal village of Jammu, 80 km from Lahore. Leaving home, at the age of 12, he moved into an uncles home in Gurdaspur. Inspired by the playing of local musicians, he convinced tabla player Mian Qader Baksh of the Punjab Gharana (school) to take him on as a disciple. He also studied with Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan, who taught him the melodic vocal style Raag Vidya.
Rakha mastered his lessons quickly. By his 15th birthday, he had begun working with a theater company. After working as an accompanist in Lahore, Rakha accepted a position with All India Radio in Delhi in 1936. He remained with the station until 1940 when he became involved with the Hindi film industry as a session musician. He eventually rose to the position of music director for Rangmahal Studios.
Moving to classical music in 1948, Rakha resumed his career as an accompanist. In addition to working with Ravi Shankar throughout the 1960s and 70s, he collaborated with sitarist Vilayat Khan and American drummer Buddy Rich, with whom he recorded the East-meets-West album Rich A La Rakha.
Rakhas legacy is continued by his sons Zakir Hussein and Fazal Quereshi. His beloved daughter, Razia, died of a sudden heart attack the night before his own death.

- @承 喜(无言之所，唯余沉默。)：印度塔布拉鼓（tabla）堪称打击之王，表演者用指和掌在一对结构精密的塔布拉鼓上，翻飞出精妙绝伦的复杂节奏。它需要表演者具有高超的演奏技巧，以及对印度古典音乐的深刻理解。 塔布拉鼓为一对鼓的统称，在北印度音乐和舞蹈中作为伴奏乐器。演奏者用手掌和手指制造出丰富多变的声音。右手鼓被定调为主音的属音或者下属音，而左手鼓则作为基础。 塔布拉鼓可能是最多才多艺的打击乐器了。除鲁帕德和卡纳提克音乐之外，它在几乎所有的北印度音乐形式里被广泛使用。 塔布拉鼓相对而言是较新的乐器，只有数世纪长的历史。
