Zillana – Raga Patdeep | Sankeerna Chapu (9 beats)

A humble musical tribute to the legendary tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain Ji on his 75th birthday.

Presenting a special “Z’illana” in Raga Patdeep, set to Sankeerna Chapu (9 beats). The rhythmic cycle of 9 has been chosen to symbolize March 9, the birthday of Zakir Bhai — whose artistry, rhythm, and musical spirit have inspired generations of musicians across the world.

A Tillana (or Thillana) is a rhythmic composition in South Indian Carnatic music, typically performed toward the end of a concert and widely used in Indian classical dance performances. Popularized by maestros such as M. Balamuralikrishna, Lalgudi Jayaraman, and others, the form features rhythmic syllables and tala-based phrases in the Pallavi and Anupallavi, followed by lyrical lines in the Charanam.

This composition is offered with deep respect and admiration, celebrating the rhythmic brilliance and musical legacy of Zakir Bhai.

Thank you, Z Bhai, for inspiring generations of musicians.
