Some of the big names in Indian Classical music whom he accompanied at that time were Pandit Ravi Shankar, Pandit Ali Akbar Khan, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and many more. Zakir’s fame spread internationally with his tours in USA and Europe, followed by collaborations with International Musicians like John McLaughlin. He was also awarded the Grammy Award in the year 2009 for his collaborative album “Global Drum Project” along with Mickey Hart, Sikiru Adepoju & Giovanni Hidalgo.
