    He is such a wonderful player. I still have cassette-tapes of him I found during a trip to India in the late 80's. I think he grew up in Auroville - What a charmed musical life!

    The ragam is called Revathi in south Indian classical music ... Very rejuvenating ragam .. like the sound of the guitar. Divine!!...

  • @sarojdeb9729
    @sarojdeb9729 3 года назад +3

    This hi-breed is definitely a complete instrument for expressing Raga with better playing comfort than any other conventional Hindustani instrument. Modified steel guitar has entered into mainstream hindustani classical arena long before and now this one is also destined for same.

    Around 03:45 Nadaka says, "In South of India .. we don't care as much about the time of the day for particular modes."
    On the contrary, i have found Indian music schools of music to be extremely fastidious about the modes played at specific times of the day, and even include considerations for the seasons and occasions apart from time of day.
    Maybe i misunderstood Sri Nadaka ji's context, but what i heard him say here didn't sound right.

    • @kvnboudreaux

      @808music3 5 лет назад +3

      I agree. No westerners have the ability to recreate the true essence of Indian sitar. Best not meddle with the original.
      Sounds silly.☝️🤪
      He hasn’t a clue how beautiful the sitar is and how you use it! It’s all in the hand and touch not the other way round.

    • @poodle3507
      @poodle3507 5 лет назад +6

      808 Music it's not a Sitar yeah.
      Sitars can't imitate guitars either. Playing classical music of Europe on sitar would sound ridiculous too, I agree. Compared to sitar, this is inferior for Indian music, it's like if you tried to play a lute piece written by Bach with a sitar.

    • @shredgplayer5616
      @shredgplayer5616 4 года назад

      Los 'ragas' son como una especie de 'Teoría musical' en la India, pero, con un planteamiento más 'abstracto'.
      Supongo que alguien que ha estudiado 'Ragas' podría aplicarlas a otros instrumentos 'solistas' a parte del Sitar.
