I think only the first artist
I think only the first artist may have streamed, I can't see a live stream for Zakir. They have a fantastic performance by Sanam Marvi archived though so it's all good.

Saw Rahul Sharma a santoor
Saw Rahul Sharma a santoor master and Expert tabla player Zakir Hussain last night. Never seen them together before. It was a night of India Classical music. About half the audience was from India. I play percussion and what Zakir does with his hands and the sounds he makes, one would think there would be 2-3 drummers on stage not one. Extremely impressive. Have the record diga rthymn band and played percussion with that album and now know where some of those sounds come from - Zakir.
Ran audio and took a short video. They played 4 songs, solo santoor song for almost a 1/2 hour then one that had a 7 beat song and last one was in 16 beats. Last song was something like "Region of Kashmur". Sometimes it is hard to see Zakir hands they are going so fast. Time of show was 92 minutes. This is world music. Attended with a friend and had a great time and had good seats row 10 dead center. Sound at the venue was quite good though it could of been turned up louder. The music is hypnotic.

So Monday I'm waiting for my
So Monday I'm waiting for my new dentist, who is late for a 9am appointment. I've seen him a few times before and he's ok for a dentist.
He's young and familiar with all the modern technology (I kinda like the previous old guy better, but he retired).
So while I'm waiting, I'm checking out the Brooklyn Raga clip on my phone and forwarding it to a friend who was at the Kennedy Ctr show. I had not heard of the band before.
He comes in and apologizes and says he got in last night at 3am from Virginia Tech...quite a ways from Baltimore. About a five hr drive.
I ask what were you doing there? and he says, "I play tabla in a band called DC Raga... It's styled after a band called Brooklyn Raga... I doubt if you've heard of them."
I said.. "Actually I have."
Turns out he grew up with one of the BRaga guys. Then he tells me when he was in dental school he went to a workshop with Zakir, and Zakir asked him to attend one of his classes in CA, and he says, I can't I'm in dental school." Zakir said, "You should go." So he did. I'll have to check out his band.... He said it's a three-piece, with tabla, a beat box guy and a violinist. They play a funky style called DC Go-Go.
