Sitar & Tabla American REACTION! | Raag Bhairavi | Niladri Kumar & Pandit Subhankar Banerjee 

What other Videos should we react to??

U r now going in right direction. Touching the nerves of true India

The guy on the left has an inborn sensitivity and understanding of the beauty of Indian classical music.

Woww....more of classical music!!!😍😍😙😙❤ Thank you so muchhh!!😙❤

Listen to ... Ustaad Zakir Hussain... Tabla. Pt Hari prasad Chaurasia.. flute Ustaad Amjad Ali Khan ... Sarod Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma ..Santoor Ustaad Bismillah Khan .. Shenhai. Just listen no need to react ...These are legends ... All instrument s ... Then later listen to the vocals .... They are legends too .... But start from here ... Great going guys ...Now you are scratching the surface ... Namaste ...

Western music excites you, restless you. Indian classical makes you peace, rest, calm you. It's nothing you have seen in classical yet. Normally indian classical stands for 4-5 hrs

How many Indians here do not usually listen to classical Indian music but discovering these performances through OSReactions? 😬

As I said this channel is addictive...keep your child away 😍😍😍😂😂 btw love this musical start of the day❣❣

Do one Reaction on Pandit Ravi Shankar & Ustad Alla Rakha khan's performance in US in 1967 .

This raga is called Sindhu Bhairavi in Carnatic Music. It’s used for utter devotion and surrender.. I hope you felt that!

In India we have different ragas for different times of the day early morning late morning afternoon and so on......depending on what kind of energy the artist wants you to take from the performance.......it's amazing....

You only know Sitaar..but our Goddess of Knowledge is Mother Saraswati..and her instrumen is Veena.... check out Veena it sounds as soulful as Sitar

SITAR = 'SI' Means Seven & 'TAR' Means Strings. SITAR Means a seven string musical instrument.

Try to react on some classical dance forms of India. Especially Bharatnatyam. We have different classical dance forms originating from different places in India. Bharatnatyam has taken its form from Tamil Nadu. You will be exposed to the beauty of it. ❤️

I love that Rick listens by closing his eyes and just focusing on the sound. It shows that he truly appreciates what he's listening to. Honestly, you guys are just scratching the surface of Indian classical music. I'm so excited for you to discover more. Sitar, tabla and the flute are my favorites and I can get lost in my own world.

The late, great Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka Shankar.... pure mastery!

You should listen to jam sessions by Ustad Zakir Hussain on Tabla.

On the second thought, why don't you guys try "SHIVA TANDAV STROTAM" by Shankar Mahadevan I'm sure it will give you chills.

As I am singer.... I can notice and feel the little variations in the music.... Same expressions Rick was giving while listening...... That made me sooo happy cannot explain.... 😊😊😊😊😘😘😘😀😀

Love from Germany... please react to Zakir Hussain - Teen Taal. Peace

If you want to listen to sitar then you must listen *Rag Bhairavi by Anoushka Shankar* , I'm not asking you to react but just listen it and you'll feel so much better.

Hi, there are different ragas for different time pf the day. Bhairavi being the morning raga

That's a drop in the ocean of the mighty Indian Classical Music.

Rick is so damn knowledgeable!! Like whattt??❤

Rick it's amazing to see you having such finely tuned sensitivity to subtleties of Indian classical music. I don't know for how long you have been exposed to it, but you instantly respond to the beauty spots of Indian music like a true connoisseur. There are usually 21 strings in a professional sitar, but some may have down to 18- in any case, 6 are the prime strings for actual notes and the rest are for secondary notes and chords. It's one of the finest of Indian classical instruments, and is today one of the most widely known alongside tabla, thanks to Sitar maestro Pt. ('Pundit') Ravi Shankar and Ustaad ('Master') Allah Rakha respectively. . This is Raga Bhairavi (By-ruh-wee) which is of a serene, reclusive, and renunciant mood, with all notes 'komal' that is like flat (b); and therefore performed at the end of a concert. I hope you'll find someone to guide you through to listening to Raga music from entry to deepest treasures. Until then, please keep enjoying.

Raag Bhairavi really gives the flavour of a desert and I am sure Rick has got an amazing musical sense 💕

Sitar Is the mother of guitar. You should react to JALTARANG I think it's the sweetest musical instrument ever.

Guys plz react to ustad Zakir Hussain and Rahul Sharma #tabla and #santoor Trust me the best tabla playing you'll ever see

Madari from coke studio. Please react!

Rick , I'm amazed to your attempt at understanding finer nuances of Indian Classical music. You said " there is a lot that happened between two notes " and you caught it spot on . This art of going from one note to other without sharp steps is called ' Meend' .

Sitar makes my eyes water. Touches my soul

Loved Intro☺☺

The way rick feels indian classical instrument's sound ,I doubt how many indians can do it like him. Its like he is tripping (positively,not in drug way). Love u guys.

14:18. Samee thing happened to me when I was hardly 6-7 and started learning Tabla, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia had come to our programme and I got to sit on the same stage as his, take his blessings... I couldn't appreciate it to that level that time, him being literally one of the greatest flutist ever. But now when I try to recollect it, am sure I will forever cherish those moments, throughout my life. 🙏🙏

Something that's really cool is when Pandit Banerjee starts going off on the tabla, he starts playing rupak in keherwa - he's effectively playing septuple meter at quadruple speed within what Western music would define as 8/4 time.

We would like to see your reactions to "Ustad Zakir Hussain and Rahul sharma - #Tabla and #Santoor". Ustad Zakir Hussain plays Tabla and Rahul sharma plays Santoor, i'm sure y'all would loooooooooooveeeee it !!! Both the instruments are Amaaaaaazing !

I got to watch niladri kumar's live performance some years back and it gave me goosies! ❤️ So happy y'all reacted to this!

I agree with others who are asking you to react to Indian Classical dance forms. They are extremely expressive to the point of being part mime / sign language. I think the actors in you would appreciate it.

This is okay but now do one reaction on Pandit Ravi Shankar & Ustad Ala Rakha khan doing Jugalbaandi in US.. One of the Best Live performances Ever

Pandit Subhankar Bannerjee the tabla player and one of the gretest tabla player passed away today due COVID. He was 55 years old at the time of his demis .

I listened to this time and again and cried. I could not control myself; tears were just flowing. It was so relaxing.... No explanation as to why! But it just engrossed my entire mind, soul and body..you made me remind of beautiful memories of my childhood with the "Best in the world" parents!

Masters of Instruments? For Drums.... it's Sivamani

Now other channels will also get to react to dis.. 😂😂 but I have proof ur the 1st one to do Soo.. OSR always ahead ❤️🤩

Please listen to Ustaad Zakir Hussain... He's the God of Tabla... He's the reason why people know about tabla internationally too 😊

The beauty of Niladri Kumar is that he is able to play a string instrument to sound very close to the human vocal cords. There are artists who can play an instrument to a T and hit the notes to the most accurate level but it will still sound "Strings & Metallic" but he is able to make it sound close to human vocals... Like if a classical vocalist sings the same raag, then vocalists tends to finish the same notes in many different variations.. But when we use an instrument to imitate the same note, there are limitations against the human abilities. He amongst the few artists who can create those variations. In other words, you if are able to sing the same Raag, then just imagine yourself humming it and that's exactly what he creates with his skills... He is Phenomenal. Skills like this separates artists like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Ustad Shujat Khan, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia.. so in this world there are "THEM" and then there are Musicians no matter how good they are....

Sitar and Veena are for stirring the souls. Those string are sometimes connected directly to the heart and it moves with the music. The wonderful thing this, this lineage was carried forward by generations after generation just by practice and playing back thousands of time. That is why the instrumentalist dedicates his / her whole life learning it and living by it. Glad that the grammar for music was built in India on a rock solid foundation of Raag, Taal and Sur and the legacy continues till today. And we have wonderful people to improvise it time and again with dedication, and without spoiling the grammar. Enjoy the music, treat your soul with classic notes and love more! Thank you for reacting!

Rick.. Thats d perfect way to listen indian music.. Just close eyes and forget reality..

This is so so beautiful 😍Thank you so much OSR....you made my day....and this is the real Indian music with soul ❤️

React to Zakir Hossain's tabla.....he is one of the best tabla player in India😊

Whoever suggested it, loads of thanks. Korbin n Rick please do more videos from Darbar festivals. It is a giant window for you and everyone else to enjoy true indian music.

Raags are the backbone of indian classical music..they are composed for different time period of the day... there is very famous tale that Tansen( taan-say-n) (mozart of india) could perform raag deepak(deepak literally means lamp) to such a perfection that it could actually heat up the whole surrounding and raag megh(megh literally means cloud) could cause rain....

Korbin n Rick , it's Monsoon in India & Indians love rain that's why there are many rainy Bollywood songs.Few rainy songs chronologically 1)Pyaar hua iqraar hua (Shree 420- 1955) 2)Bheegi bheegi raaton mein, (Ajnabee -1974) 3)Rimjhim gire saawan (Manzil -1979) 4)Aaj rapat jaayen (Namak Halal-1982) 5)Kaate nahi kat te (Mr. India-1987) 6)Lagi aaj saawan (Chandni-1989) 7)Rimjhim Rimjhim (1942,A Love Story-1994) 8)Koi ladki hai (Dil To Pagal Hai-1997) 9)Taal se taal mila (Taal-1999) 10)Idhar chala main udhar chla (Koi Mil Gaya-2003) 11)Barso Re(Guru-2008) 12)Ye mausam ki barish (Half Girlfriend-2017)

No electrical gimmicks, just sheer hard-earned skills!😍Fills you up with feels Thank you, Stupid masters,

Just wow.. ❤ Thank you guys for reacting to this, and also thanks to the person who requested this (If someone did).. These are my favourite musicians, pure magicians..

Indian classical music is ultimate. It takes time to grow on u, but once it does... no other music can make u as happy. Nilyadri kumar is the new star and a genius. Please make more videos on Indian classical music. ❤

Loving your choice of music reactions these days!!💕💕

What a intro ❤

Tabala can't be hit like drum, see that black round on tabala? Once I hit hard with my finger on it and that black thing just popped like rocket😂 that's the thing that allows tabala to get different sounds. On right side its Tabala on left drum is dekka, in Kerala that's the name😂... And we can adjust the tones there's few solid blocks around Tabala, by adjusting that its be done🙌.... Love you guys.. keep up... Come to India... Don't forget to bring the pretty good bro😂💖

Look at this guys face so calm so soft This is called bhartiya (Indian) music

Though I am not an expert but to me Sitar is the most unique instrument which can literally express pure human emotions.

"how does he do that???" answer is simple maam through years and years and years of practise..

Raags are frameworks of notes..... You can sing them.... You can Play them ...... Songs are composed on these frameworks.

First time I heard a classical due like this I had tears automatically. Its touches the soul. You should hear it live to really appreciate the real sounds.

Tabla is indeed a very recent indian instrument.... It was modified from the pakhawaj about 1000-1500 years ago.... Sitar is one of the core instruments of indian classical music.

raag bheiravi ... man do you how hard it is to play . legends say its so powerful if played with perfection it can make mother Earth rain . its so Devine and connected

I'm going to exam now but still I'm commenting that u shud react to different types of dances like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi. Rick has already seen some steps and has commented that it's beautiful. Ok , bye

Great going, love it, do more of these guys And try Indian Coke Studio videos.

U definitely need to listen n react to Indian instrument named SARANGI.

FYI - I used to play the tabla and you really don't need to hit the tabla very hard to produce sound. Also, if you noticed each tabla has a black circle in the middle. That is not just for decoration, it produces different sounds depending on if you hit the black circle or the uncolored area outside or even the outer edge of the tabla.

Only problem with that video was that it was too short! Just loved the sound of bends and slides on sitar. Want more of these reactions.

4.10 Alexis Segall playing sitar😂

you should react to zakir hussain TABLA you will blown away by his mastery

This is a masterpiece... What about a pair of feet dancing with the sitar? You guys would love to see Anoushka Shankar live Traveller...it's a beautiful Bharatyam performance on sitar.. A must watch!!!!!!

Heartiest love from India.... There are many rhythms which will give you more goosebumps... #peace #nicepeople you are.... god bless

Just search for DARBAR festival And you will have loads of Indian classical instrumental videos

React to Moner Manus ft. Kailash Kher, Shivmani and Bumblefoot aka Ron Thal of Gaan Bangla TV. Mixture of traditional folk with modern instruments...

React to indian classical dances like GARBA BIHU BHARATNATYAM KATHAKKALI AND ALL that would be great

Just a tip- Next time you listen to Indian classical, make it a point to close your eyes rather than listening with eyes opened. You will notice an astonishing stark difference.

Great stuff. He is playing the instrument in many different ways and showing what can be done with it. Sitar is a great instrument.

React to Anushka Shankar,Zakir Hussain, Bismillah Khan,Pandit Ravi Shankar and A.R Rehman Nobel Peace prise performance.

horse Riding table.please react to Zakir hussian ..The GOD of Tabla...

Hii could you please react to indian classical dance "tandav by Sayani Chakraborty".

Fun fact-The player plays only one string of sitar, and all other strings naturally vibrate underneath the main string.

the ultimate display of the mastery of sitar and table is the 1967 Monterrey festival performance by Grammy winning Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha. Two absolute masters in a live performance that is one for the ages.

If u really want to get the essence of sitar listen to pandit Nikhil Bannerjee

Please react to “ ME RADHIKA “ by aarti ankalikar it’s a Marathi classical song please do react to it it’s a fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☄️ people can hear this song because of you who never heard it before ..

Wadali Brothers + Sufism+Classical Raag(s) + when you dedicate/surrender yourself to God and Music = Hallucination to some other world. Your all kind of Tensions and headache gone. You don't need Doctors instead Music itself has power to Heal You. We have lot to Give the World, conditions are : 1.You should have the immense capability to Handle it. 2. Give credit to the sources. In India, our philosophy teaches, not to steal, rather just say Thanks to the Giver. That's all. 😊

I've met Niladri ji in person, after his one concet... He is such a joyous and humble man... Seeing you reacting to them, really feels good... Keep it up guys...

Masters at work ...we appriciate your efforts to know & learn Indian classical music Hindustani, carnatic.. we can change our minds through music we dont have boundaries or borders ..we need little efforts ...good enjoyed purity indeed..🙏

I learned tabala for 6 years😂😂... Unfortunately I didn't continued it😕....

Sir you will cry your heart out if you listen to “Anushka Sharma Voice of the Moon” Please sir, just once, react to it. You won’t be able to hold your tears just by listening to the music. I promise.
