Pandit Kishan Maharaj | very old rare Tabla Solo

By the time he was eleven, Kishan Maharaj began performing in concerts. Within a few years, Kishan Maharaj was sharing the stage with stalwarts like Faiyaz Khan, Omkarnath Thakur, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Bhimsen Joshi, Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Vasant Rai, Vilayat Khan, Girija Devi, Sitara Devi and many others.
Maharaj had the ability to play cross-rhythms and produce complex calculations, particularly in tihai patterns. Known as an excellent accompanist, Maharaj was extremely versatile and capable of playing with any accompaniment, be it with the Sitar, Sarod, Dhrupad, Dhamar or even dance.
Maharaj gave a number of solo concerts during his career and also gave `Sangat` to some great dancers like Sri Shambhu Maharaj, Sitara Devi, Natraj Gopi Krishna, and Birju Maharaj.
Among all his compositions, his "Tala Vadya Kacheri" with the Mridangam Vidwan, "Palghat Raghu" stood out. Maharaj extensively toured and participated in several prestigious events across the world, including the Edinburgh festival and the Commonwealth Arts festival in the United Kingdom in 1965.
Maharaj was awarded the Padma Shri in 1973 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2002.[3] He was married to Beena devi niece of Tabla maestro of Benaras Pt. Anokhe lal mishra

Unforgettable Pt Kishan Maharaj of Varanasi a versatile Tabla player! Unique of his kind! He could produce sound of Damaru from Tabla! 😊😊

Ancient style of Benaras.. The Pakhwaji flavour was blended with tabla sound. It's really captivating.. I'm really spellbound after seeing the sense of micro beat which was the speciality of Kishen Maharaj Ji..

All Tabla artists on one side and Maharaj ji on one side..i am not comparing, all are good but Maharaj ji is simply unique. His vaadan grows on the listeners in a way that one becomes not a fan but a bhakt.
