KRISHNARAJ IYENGAR-Tabla-2 Here is Krishanraj again, this time on his favorite G sharp-A sharp ( Kali 4-Kali5) pitched Tabla. He plays a traditional 'Rela' from the Purab school which signifies the gradual cascading and meandering of a stream or a river. The syllables "dheredhere" played with the palm are the beauty of this composition. This has been the forte of many great legends incluing his Guru Pandit Nayan Ghosh. He later recites and plays two 'Tukdas' or 'pieces', both synonymous with the great Ustad Ahmadjaan Thirakwa, whose own composition Krishnaraj plays to conclude the recital.

Ustad Ahmed Jan Thirakwa (the Mount Everest of tabla!) AHMED JAN THIRAKWA (1892-1976) Thirakwa was born to a musical family in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh State. Ahmad Jan was really drawn to the art of tabla playing when he heard Ustad Munir Khan. He took his early lessons from his uncles Sher Khan, Faiyaz Khan and Bashwa Khan. Thirakwa became a student of Ustad Munir Khan at the age of 12. Since then, he put His heart to his riyaz (practice). His guru, Ustad Munir Khan, made him practice nearly 16 hours a day with half-hour breaks every now and then. Thirakwa had barely six hours to sleep. Thirakwa had a rich diet of nutritious food and milk so that he could keep up this grueling regimen. He acquired his nickname in an interesting manner. It is said that Thirakwa's devoted practice and natural talent pleased Ustad Munir Khan so much that Thirakwa became his favourite disciple. Munir Khan's father, Kale Khan used to watch Thirakwa play. One day Kale Khan remarked how nicely his son's pupil's fingers "danced on the drum". "Thirakwa" came from the word "thirakh", or "shimmering thunder" - like the quality of a Kathak dancer's feet in action. Soon he was to be "Thirakwa, tabla master with dancing fingers". The romantic and serene moods Thirakwa was able to express with his playing was something unbelievable. Audiences would sit engrossed in his solos for as long as he wished to play. He kept on doing his riyaz and the standard of his playing was unbelievable right up until the end. There is only one Thirakwa!
