For John McLaughlin, Zakir ji was a lifelong friend, musical partner, and a genius in the truest sense of the word.A co-founder of Shakti, John recalls years of shared laughter on stage and an ease that came from deep musical chemistry. “As close as brothers, perhaps even closer,” he reflects, speaking of a bond shaped by trust, joy, and music.As part of Maestro Forever, John McLaughlin will perform in the Forever Friends music concert at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre.We warmly welcome you to join us in remembering the Maestro. 🙌🏼🎫 Maestro Forever: A Tribute to Zakir Hussain🗓️ Dec 14 & 15⏰ 9:00 am onwards📍 NCPA#ZakirHussain #JohnMcLaughlin #Shakti #MaestroForever (John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, Shakti, jazz and Indian classical fusion, Maestro Forever tribute, NCPA Mumbai)
