Zakir and His Friends

Born in Bombay in 1951, Zakir Hussain has invented an exciting new music using the vocabulary of the world’s rhythmic languages. After sounding a whole world of drummers, the film introduces us to the dual worlds of sound and image, music and film, balancing each with precision, and without compromise, bringing the music film to a new pitch of perfection.
