	Ustad Alla Rakha, A World Pays Tribute to India's Master Drummer
		Alla Rakha, who was universally known by that name, sometimes rendered as Allarakha, usually preceded by the honorific Ustad, which means teacher or guru, died of a heart attack at age 80 on Feb. 3, just hours after his 50-year-old daughter, Razia, died suddenly and unexpectedly after routine cataract surgery.
		Alla Rakha's students have come each night, and among them was a 25-year-old tabla player from Minneapolis, Suphala Patnakar, who talks in a flat Midwestern accent but wears her hair in long dark ringlets down her back and dresses in an Indian-style white tunic over matching pants.
		Alla Rakha's elder daughter, Kurshid Aulia, said she had the rhythm in her but her mother would not allow a daughter, who should be learning to cook and clean, to become a musician.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Alla Rakha
		Alla Rakha, who had the honorific ustad (master), reserved for Muslim maestros of the north Indian or Hindustani style, was naturally possessed of panache, virtuosity and attack.
		A composer and arranger of long standing, Alla Rakha (under his full name AR Qureshi) provided the music for more than two dozen Indian films, and it was because of his connection with the Bombay film industry that he made the city (now renamed Mumbai) his home.
		Although Alla Rakha remained within the Indian classical tradition, his influence made the tabla the percussion instrument of choice to express mood and atmosphere in film soundtracks, commercials and western popular music.

	BIOGRAPHY - Ustad Alla Rakha Khan
		Alla Rakha Quereshi, born April 29, 1919, at Ratangarh, near Jammu in India, is one of the leading accompanists and tabla soloists of Hindustani music.
		He remains one of the supreme percussionists of Northern Indian music and like his sons, Zakir Hussain and Fazal Quereshi, he has given birth to a new style of tabla playing which has elevated the role of tabla player from the relatively lowly accompanist to soloist.
		Many listeners expect the flamboyance and panache of their cross-rhythms and compare other players' styles unfavorably to that of Alla Rakha and his sons.

		The computerised version of Lehera was something I loved where the audio of lehera has been matched with beat numbers at the bottom of the screen as the master plays the sequence.
