He is great not only because of his tabla but also because of tough times he went through.....he was guru of my father too 🙏🙏Few Legends of Tabla India has ever seen...such a simple and down to earth person

One of the first cassette tapes we bought at the old Atlantic Video in Dallas in the early 90's was of Tabla Wizard Samta Prasad. Still listening to it some 30 years later. He swings like crazy.... sometimes sounds like an entire herd of charging horses..... powerful.

मुझे यह सौभाग्य प्राप्त रहा कि मैं इस महान तबलावादक एवं असाधारण ब्यक्तित्व के धनी पं शामता प्रसाद मिश्र उर्फ गुद ई महाराज के सम्पर्क में उनका पड़ोसी रहा. महाराज का जीवन अति साधारण रहा, वह एक गमछा कमर में धारण करते थे और एक गमछा कन्धों पर रख कर जीवन पर्यन्त काशी में विचरण करते रहे.

This Ustad Ji/Pundit Sahib is easily one of the top 5 Tabla Vadaks of all time. Powerful yet clear. His patterns are intricate, effortless, and beautiful. He has maintained his identity and style of ghrana with utmpst grace. A great great exponent.

Great. Thanks for posting this. Hard to imagine the hardship he went through when he was young.

ऐसा तबला सुनने नही मिलता.

धन्य है यह धरा जिस पर ऐंसे महान कलाकार ने जन्म लिया था।स्वरस्वती पुत्र कहूँ तो अतिशियोक्ति नहीं। मै इनके चरणों में शत शत नमन करता हूँ।

One of the greatest tabla players of Banaras Gharana. I was in school in the 60's when I went with my father and uncle in Delhi's Modern School's Shankar Lal Music Festival where he played with Ustad Vilayat Khan, and it was an amazing night. It is still embedded in my memories. Vanday Maatram. Jai Bharat who gave us such great legends.
