On February 8, 2009, Zakir received a Grammy in the Best Contemporary World Music category for Global Drum Project, his group with Mickey Hart, Giovanni Hidalgo and Sikiru Adepoju. In 2007, readersвЂ™ polls from both Modern Drummer and Drum! magazines named him Best World Music and Best Worldbeat Drummer respectively. In April 1991, he was presented with the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award by the President of India, making him one of the youngest musicians to receive this recognition from IndiaвЂ™s governing cultural institute. In 1990, he was awarded the Indo-American Award in recognition for his outstanding cultural contribution to USA-India relations. The recipient of countless honors, Zakir has received the titles of Padma Bhushan, in 2002, and Padma Shri, in 1988, becoming the youngest percussionist to be awarded these, given to civilians of merit, by the Indian government. His music and extraordinary contribution to the music world were honored in April, 2009, with four widely-heralded and sold-out concerts at Carnegie HallвЂ™s Artist Perspective series. Shankar, Remember Shakti, the Diga Rhythm Band, Making Music, Planet Drum with Mickey Hart, Tabla Beat Science, Sangam with Charles Lloyd and Eric Harland, and recordings and performances with artists as diverse as George Harrison, YoYo Ma, Joe Henderson, Van Morrison, Airto Moreira, Pharoah Sanders, Billy Cobham, Mark Morris, Rennie Harris, and the Kodo drummers.

Widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement, ZakirвЂ™s contribution to world music has been unique, with many historic collaborations, including Shakti, which he founded with John McLaughlin and L. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity, founded in formidable knowledge and study. Along with his legendary father and teacher, Ustad Allarakha, he has elevated the status of his instrument both in India and around the world. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently brilliant and exciting performances have established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, and as one of IndiaвЂ™s reigning cultural ambassadors. Zakir Hussain is today appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon and one of the greatest musicians of our time.
