You are welcome to join us for Sadhana Forest’s 6th Birthday Celebration! This entertaining music-themed documentary eliminates all commentary or narration in order to present a free flow of visuals as it follows the California-based, Bombay-born Tabla master Zakir Hussein through India while on tour, at home, and performing with other musicians. Rhythmic jaunts to other far-flung locations show Japanese Taiko drummers, Balinese Gamelan players, Venezuelan body percussion, and a Trinidad steel orchestra..
