yes his contribution to Indian music is great and cannot be understated.

One of the most significant contributions of Ustad Zakir Hussain is that before him, tabla was not mainstream (I am absolutely not implying that there were no maestros before him - In fact his father the great Alla Rakha was a legend in his own right).

Before him, tabla was always viewed as an accompaniment and the focus was always on the primary performer (be it a vocalist or any other instrumentalist like the sitar or the sarod). But he burst on to the scene and he made tabla look contemporary.

His TV commercial appearances (Taj Mahal Tea - link below) helped demolish the unnecessary orthodox/elitist image of classical music (From the average TV watching crowd in India, even if someone is absolutely ignorant about classical music, the moment you say ‘Wah Taj!’, they would instantly understand what you’re referring to - some would even do a silly head rocking movement similar to how ‘he’ does)
