[Ranjit Barot @RanjitBarot]

Many thanks to the @KNMAIndia for creating this opportunity for those of us who have been fortunate enough to have known #UstadZakirHussain and to have worked with him. On 28th March, I will be paying tribute, to honour and celebrate this once-in-many-generations artist, one who so effortlessly elevated every stage he graced. Please join us 🙏

[Kiran Nadar Museum of Art @KNMAIndia]

Over the years, music composer and drummer Ranjit Barot has shared many stages and performances with Ustad Zakir Hussain, developing a deep relationship shaped by a long family association, and music.

In recalling his early encounters with Ustad Ji, he reflects on the generosity that defined him. His large-heartedness and the encouragement he extended to fellow musicians reveal a spirit grounded in respect, openness, and deep camaraderie.

Ranjit Barot is among the artists who come together for ‘Ustad Zakir Hussain: The Way Forward’, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art’s homage marking his 75th birth anniversary and bringing together musicians who worked closely with him.

Music: Supernova by Ranjit Barot, featuring Zakir Hussain, John McLaughlin, U. Srinivas, Matthew Garrison, Scott Kinsey, Wayne Krantz
