Salar Nadar Tabla Demonstration | 'The Kite Runner'

Salar Nader is one of the most sought-after young percussionists of his generation. He was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1981 to Afghan parents forced to flee their home during the Russian-Afghan war. At the age of seven, he began studying with the legendary tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain. Nader already played tabla and was familiar with the basic rhythms of Afghan and Indian folk and pop music. While maintaining his traditions, Salar simultaneously weaves the Tabla into today’s Hip-Hop, EDM, and popular musical genres.

Hailed as Afghanistan's preeminent tabla virtuoso, Salar is a percussionist, composer, producer, and educator and performs in "The Kite Runner" at Gammage from April 9-14, 2024.
