Dildar Hussain
tab, 1957-1997 PK, Punjab, Pakistan
Singer / Musician of World and Folk
Dildar Hussain (born 1957) is a Pakistani percussionist Tabla player. He is known for being the tabla player for late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan a renowned Qawwali singer. He played tabla for him in his singing group until he died in 1997. His first performance was in India in 1969. Ustad Dildar Hussain now carries the tradition on with his sons. His eldest son Abrar and his youngest son Israr are following the family tradition, and are, like their father, working as tabla players. Ustad Dildar does not play the traditional tabla that can be seen in Hindustani classical music but instead plays a combination of "jori" as the treble, and "dhamma" as the bass to create a deeper, warmer sound than the modern tabla set creates. This style created with the intention to carry sound acoustically.
