It's amazing that you saw the true maestros perform, but might as well call them pandit ravi shankar and ustad Alla rakha. The term "pandit and ustad" are given to the highest degree of musicians in India. Cheers
I also was blessed to witness this pair of musical demigods perform at Sydney Town Hall, must have been 1968. They performed a similar tabla banter to this although from memory Ravi was "teasing" Alla with complex vocalisations which Alla immediately played on the tabla. An amazing concert and even more amazing ... an audience of merely around 200 affectionados. Those were the days.

Any two musicians who do what these men did, communicating mostly through what they were improvising and making it seem as if it was all preplanned are ultimate masters from whom others should learn. Their skills are rare, the products of long and diligent study. Far too few people today care to put in the time and effort to become such living treasures.

Wow, musical mastery at it's best. I can't beleive the human mind is able to process time signature information and rhythm calculations in real time, while performing it in real time in less than two measures after it was received. Utterly amazing.
To all my friends, pls stop addressing them as ravi and rakha, the term "pandit and ustad" are given to the highest degree of musicians in India. They are pandit ravi shankar and ustad Alla rakha
Noted. Can you explain the different meaning and importance of Ustad vs. Pandit? I noticed when Yehudi Menuhin was introducing artists in English he translated both as ‘Mr.’
@MegaContented -- Dude, take a breather out there, would ya? Clearly, you are an Indian pretending to be a foreigner -- your English is not as good as you think it is. Worst of all, you are definitely not contented.
As long as the title clearly says Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha -- that will be it. If you have a problem with people addressing them by their name that take it up with the the host of this channel. If you don't have a problem with Mohammed Rafi, and Kishore Kumar, and Manna Dey, and Yesudas, and Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhonsle, you shouldn't have a problem with Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha either.
Alla Rakha's greatest contribution to Indian classical music is making tabla respectable and taking this instrument to a higher plane (earlier it always played second fiddle to the vocalist/instrumentalist). Of course his other contribution is giving the world Zakir Hussein. I have been extremely lucky to see these legends live several times - starting from 1976.
And yet one more contribution that most of indians and pakistanis dont know. Roohi Bano Pakistan television PTV's most talented actress is his daughter. Zakir Hussain is Roohi's half brother.
Thank you very little; so glad that you appreciate these dead musicians... You saw them? Well good for you, you braggard... Don't you think we'd all like to have seen that? Rub it in, why don't you? You had good luck, and we don't. ASSHOLE!
Western Classical and its vast body of fixed work is the greatest man made creation. Even beyond it,however, is Indian classical, which is the bridge between man and God. This spontaneous improvisation is beyond man's thought-out creation. It is more like the deepest realization of music already within your soul, a realization obtained through a life time of devotion. But I agree with the sentiment of your comment. Keep listening bro! God sent us youtube!
It might be true, but it is also dying out. There are a handful musicians who reach this plane of even understanding and following along with intricate taal signatures like 2/3/2/3 or raagas, let alone performing. There is barely any audience without this type of understanding, right?
If u pay very careful attention , they complete the 10 beat cycle with a vocal beat and start the cycle again with the same beat , and improvise with it
These gentle persons are the symbols that the humanity should be proud of. They are not the pride of India only but, the pride of all music scholars and lovers.
There was a verbal sound for a particular hitting of the tabla... and he could speak a "tabla" language that could translate into music. Ravi Shankar is a genius of sound. Just pure genius.
if there are past lives, surely one of mine took place in India, I have an immediate and profound connection with this music and these instruments that I cannot explain having not grown up hearing it at all
I would have to say, that these are the most accomplished musicians on the planet, and I am not an opinion to be taken lightly. I have played every form of Western music from ( yes I can read music) classical, country, rock, jazz, heavy metal, blues, funk, fusion..etc...in order to make a living. Jack of all trades, master of none, so to speak. But these guys are the undisputed masters of their trade, and I highly respect them for it. No disrespect to any other drummer, but I would rather hear Alla Rakha to any other drummer with the exception to Buddy Rich, who is my all-time favorite drummer. Buddy was THE master of jazz drumming, hands down. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Wow. Great music is indescribable, just felt, even more so through such transcending artists. I was too young to be in the presence of such legends, but have had the chance with Ustad Zakir Hussain many times, always a grateful privilege.
Watching these maestros perform makes me realise how fortunate I am to be born as a human being, a creature who is able to appreciate and enjoy such beautiful mastery of the art.
In our musical tradition, we respect the music, the musicians, the instruments and our Gurus and finally the audience. Without proper reverence, one cannot appreciate or learn this music.
@@what2440 It being subjective was the whole point of Narayan. It's cool, I still would love some sitars and a 8-string guitar for it to become peaceful and heavy. ;-) Anyway, amazing music is amazing music, no matter what your or mine personal taste is. And this certainly had been pretty great.
What an amazing demonstration of Zaptal. Still gives you goosebumps in 2020 when hearing this from great maestro Alla Rakha. Its simply brilliant to watch this as folks from our generation or anyone younger never got to see Alla Rakha live. I think he had a very unique kind of connection with Pt Ravi Shankarji. Raviji's sitar and his sangat on Tabla just felt divine, something out of this material world.
Everytime I see this video I forget that these two maestros are no more. However a maestro only disappears, his music continues to circle the earth till dooms day comes.
Dont have much knowledge about music...but listening indian classical music makes me feel ethereal.!!!!!! Pandit ji and Ustad ji are out of this world when it comes to music in their respect fields...LEGENDS is very small word to describe them
Awww this was pure magical to watch,i envy those who watched this live.A True Artists, masters in their craft,their craft,so surreal,so authentic, truly remarkable, Indian Classical has no match. Shree Ravi Shankhar ji truly blessed.
They are speaking the language of God. They are messengers of the Vibration of the Universe that Created us ALL Edit: this is a perfectly scientific way of playing. It's pure maths. And maths was considered in ancient times to be the language of the Universe and therefore of God.

This just takes you to another world.. They are among the gods of music India produced.. It takes dedication of a life time to produce such kind of eternal music.
I happened to listen to Pandhitji and Ustad in Chennai when i was 10 yrs old and that concert was mesmerizing because it also added another dimension by including another great classical south indian percussionist shri Umayalpuram K Sivaraman on the mridhangam and the jugalbandhi was mind blowing.
Ustaad Allah Rakha : Rock n' Roll, such as the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, admired Ustaad Allah Rakha and studied his technique, benefiting greatly even from single meetings. Hart, a published authority on percussion in world music, said "Alla Rakha is the Einstein, the Picasso; he is the highest form of rhythmic development on this planet." Alla Rakha also collaborated with jazz drummer Buddy Rich, on their 1968 album Rich à la Rakha. The Ustaad gave us a genius, his son, Zakir Hussain !!!
Outstanding creation, I completely lost myself in the rhythm, I could not believe my eyes that in such age how could he play so fast? An ovation to devoted practice. Please GOD give them back on our land to make mystic musical composition
Forget playing the sitar, forget playing the tabla. Just to CLAP along with Ravi Shankar, just to do that CLAP accompaniment along with the tabla improvisation -. Try it! It will take a lifetime may be. The brain gets scrambled mid way through it reminding us what ordinary mortals we are :).

Tabla chutiya
Incredible! Panditji was such a great influence in my life! I have such fond memories of him!
I love how the audience meant well to clap for the konnakol part, but I love it more that Pt. Shankar (RIP) was able to silence them instantly with a brief gesture.

This is not konnakol
This music is incredibly complex rhythmically and melodically, no wonder John Coltrane got so much inspiration from Ravi's work, Thank You
