Legends Forever is a posthumous Indian classical music release by tabla maestro Alla Rakha. The album appeared on October 1, 2007. It presents three extended solo tabla performances in the traditional Hindustani format.

Alla Rakha recorded the material during live concerts and private sessions in the 1970s and 1980s. The release preserves his improvisational approach to rhythm cycles. The first track, "Vilambit Laya," establishes a slow tempo and explores the 16-beat teentaal structure. The second track, "Drut Laya," accelerates into a fast-paced composition in the same teentaal framework. The concluding piece, "Tani Avartanam," delivers a virtuosic solo percussion climax.

The release does not list a commercial label. Audio engineers remastered the original analog tapes for digital distribution. The packaging includes liner notes that describe Alla Rakha’s rhythmic innovations and his collaboration history with sitarist Ravi Shankar.

The release contains no additional musicians or vocalists. The total runtime spans approximately 75 minutes. The context does not specify the exact recording locations or the names of the remastering engineers.
