Zakir Hussain, Marin tabla virtuoso, dies at 73
By Jon Pareles
Zakir Hussain, a percussionist and composer who was both a master of North Indian classical music and a linchpin of far-reaching world-music fusions, died Saturday in San Francisco. He was 73.
His death, in a hospital, was from the lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, his family said in a statement. He lived in San Anselmo with his family for nearly 40 years.
Hussain earned the honorific Ustad, given to Muslim virtuosos of Hindustani (North Indian) classical music.
