Anokhe
Lal was a disciple of Bhairao Prasad of Benares, and
he became a legend in his own lifetime both for his rigorous
practice and, in particular, for his stamina in playing the tintal
theka bols "na dhin dhin na". In this tintal clip,
recorded just two years before his untimely death, he turns those theka
bols into quasi laggis, or a kind of badla
hua theka. It goes on for several more minutes.
