Ustad Alla Rakha (April 29, 1919 - February 3, 2000) was a master of the tabla, a classical Hindustani percussion instrument. He is considered one of the greatest tabla players of the 20th century.
Mickey Hart,a published authority on percussion in world music, said
"Allarakha is the Einstein, the Picasso; he is the highest form of rhythmic development on this planet"
