The roots are deep, and now the branches have spread across,” says Ishaan Ghosh. The reply might seem metaphorical, but when applied to the influence of the late Ustad Zakir Hussain on Indian music, it feels apt. Ghosh will join fellow peers including Shikharnaad Qureshi, S Selvaganesh, S Akash, Mehtab Ali Niazi, Siddhartha Belmannu, and Kaushiki Joglekar as they revive the Heartbeats- The Music Within at Prabhadevi today. The performance hosted by the Grace Foundation will be a tribute and a celebration of the maestro.
