Does anyone know of a connection between Zakir Hussain and Frank Zappa? I'm just listening to an album of world music and the notes on a track on which Zakir Hussain is playing, claim that he played with Frank Zappa. Zakir Hussain has played with John McLaughlin and L Shankar, but I can't find any connection with Frank Zappa on the internet.

My guess would be that they just jammed some while Zappa was producing Touch Me There.

:mrgreen:

Another guess would be, since L. Shankar had been an infrequent guest at the UMRK in the early 90s (see EIHN /UMRK Salad Party etc), that he brought Zakir H. along, at one time or another . . . .

I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the soirees he held towards the end when he was experimenting with world music. Or the source is just wrong.

I think the Salad Party thing is more likely.

Zakir used to play with L. Shankar, if I am not mistaken, in John McLaughlin's Shakti (as Poly said)...

Oh, by the way, 'world music' is a horrible no-meaning label...

I'm not particularly attached to that term but it is in common use. What should I say?

I don't know, in this case Indian music? Fusion?
