Moment Records

Moment Records was started in 1991 by tabla maestro and world music legend Zakir Hussain, the son of the equally famous Allarakha (Ravi Shankar’s drummer for many decades). The label specializes in audiophile-quality live concert recordings of many great contemporary classical masters of India. Before the advent of the concert hall in India, music, which had its origins in the temple, was played at court or in even smaller chambers, and it is this intimacy that is reflected in the philosophy toward the evocation of rasa or mood. Moment Records is dedicated to high quality recordings using the latest advanced technology and innovative, state of the art techniques.
