How beautiful is this?

So sad to hear the passing of legendary #tabla player Ustad #ZakirHussain confirmed. I was honoured to meet him in 2019 and thank him for accompanying my great uncle, #sitar maestro Pandit #NikhilBanerjee. He had an unrivalled sense of rhythm, winning 4 #Grammys, and heartwarming humility. RIP 🙏🏽🌺

I’m 50% a father who took a perilous ship journey from #India to the UK to build a better life. And 50% a mother who felt it was her duty to share that life and raise me as a whole. #immigrantstories #immigrantparents
