Bio / Background
Ustad Ahmedjan Thirakwa was born in Moradabad, State of Uttar Pradesh, India. His exact date of birth is unknown, but it is estimated by experts to be in the mid 1880's.
In his lifetime, he grew to be one of India's greatest musicians, and certainly one of the very few top tabla players of all time. It is said that Ustad Thirakwa performed the very first public tabla solo, when the “main” performer failed to show up at the concert, and Ustad Thirakwa, slated to be the accompanist, went on stage as the featured solo artist. Up to that time, it was unheard of that a tabla player would perform a solo in concert, something that is today accepted as an integral part of Indian classical music. He performed and recorded with generations of musicians and continued to play tabla up to the end of his phenomenal life.
