Early life


Born in Mumbai, to the legendary tabla player, Ustad Alla Rakha. His eldest brother is a tabla player, Ustad Zakir Hussain.[2][3] He received guidance from Ghatam Vidhwan, Pandit Vikku Vinayakram.


Career


Taufiq Qureshi started his career, when he was still in his 20s. His stint with live performances began with the creation of his own world music band, ‘Surya’ way back in 1986-87.[2] He has been featured as a performing artiste on the 2009 Grammy Award-winning album Global Drum Project, Remember Shakti, Masters of Percussion and Summit. He collaborates with various classical artists for fusion concerts.[2]

A dedicated self-learner, Taufiq soon discovered his greatest asset; ‘a feel for the world of sound with all its intricate nuances’. This quality makes him one of the most sought after rhythm-programmers, arranger-composers and percussionists in the world of studio recordings (film background scores, TV serials, ad-jingles, albums, etc.).[2]

He plays a variety of percussion instruments like djembe, duff, bongos, batajon. He is the first artiste to have developed a unique rhythmic language to adapt the tabla syllables on the African drum called Djembe.[2]

Taufiq’s trademark style incorporates body and vocal percussions to create unique rhythmic motifs spanning across cultures.[2]

Recently Taufiq has been honored by Sandeep Marwah with the life membership of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy of Film & Television at Marwah Studio, Noida Film City. He has been teaching students for over a decade.
