Tabla player is Mohammad Ahmad. I was fortunate to have witnessed that era in the 1940’s. I was 13 years old and have ever since listened to him.

Thank you Mr Patel for the mention of Mohammed Ahmed. I have never seen him before. His playing is so soft and serene on Khansaheb's album SITAR NAWAZ with Raga Shankara and dhun in Gara. I would sincerely welcome any info on the whereabouts of the tabla maestro.

Such emotional maturity at such a young age! Though not sure of the age, since there are ambiguities (maybe 18-20). Oh and you have also remastered the audio and the video? The original footage was blurrry! Thank you.

No. He is Ustad Mohammad Ahmad. When Vilayat Khan came to Bombay in 1940’s, he used to accompany him. I have heard him often. Later on he accompanied Begum Akhtar for all concerts in Bombay. He is pure Delhi Gharana. You can see and hear his 2 finger Baaj very clearly. I am 100% sure. I grew up with music all my life from all over India through short wave radio. I have a high respect for artists from Bengal. Specially I have liked very much Radhika Mohan Maitra and Buddhadev Das Gupta.
