Udupa Music Festival - Vidwan Umayalpuram K Sivaraman & Pandit Anindo Chatterjee 

Look at the energy level of old divine man

Age is just a number in front of passion and love.

Anyone else watches this Masterpiece in 2k19 ?? Simply amazingly amazing. Salutations to India and Indians from Kabul Afghanistan. ❤❤❤

What an energy ? Kudos to the great mridangam maestro I am blessed and fortunate to meet him in his house while going to mylapore temple he was just walking like an young man and He gave me blessings and autograph

Kalaimamani, Padma Vibhushan Umayalpuram Thiru Sivaraman Aiyya, he is truely legend and "MRUDHANGA CHAKRAVARTHI" of par excellence. His high energy level enthusiasm and nuances of skill even in the advanced age is really amazing.

Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is now on another level completely. His playing style is like playing something like flute. That soft stroke is precious.

C the movement of the fingers of that great soul in that age...Tears in my eyes..

Tabla for bhajan n mrudangam for classical music. Tabla represents speed while mrudangam represents attraction. Sounds different. Tabla in north mrudangam in south. South classical vocal dance n in instruments veena violin flute morsing ghatam n mrudangam world famous. Called carnataka sangeet of thyagaraja rama bhakt.

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, i get reminded of this masterpiece 🙏🏻❤️ Happy New Year 2023... January 1st. The energy flows from their hands to the ears... 👏

The format of the "thani" in carnatic music is such that the Mridangham tends to leads, and other percusiinist follow. This normally ends up being th case, even if there is a tabla in the ensemble as happened here. Both are masterful drummers, and I love them both.

It is rare to see two people have a genuine good time doing what they do best and be blissful. Such a relief!

That's the reason this man is awarded the Padma Vibushan award. God bless him

As of this writing there are 213 dislikes - good thing there are more than 4500 likes. While I respect ‘dislike’s point of view, I am always intrigued and would like to know what it is they disliked and/or what their expectations were and how this did not meet. If only they knew that Sri UKS (Sivaraman) is 80+ and at that age many people cannot sit on the floor or do not have dexterity in their hand/fingers. He is playing like a 20 year old energetic bunny, and with such perfection. That alone is worthy of tremendous accolades and ‘likes’. Alas, it is their loss, if they don’t get it!

OMG superb superb ...so lucky i am to hear this divene instrument from Sir and tabla too is a g8 feast ....Pranam to both the artists...

Because Anindo ji is new to Carnatic taani aavartanam he simply follows the great maestro. And he is also 60+ in the video. Mridangam Vidwan is 85 yrs old. but the energy level is too much vibrant.

Those of you who enjoyed this video i urge you to get hold of old recordings of umayalpuram sivaraman from the 1980s when he was at his peak. He was simply phenomenal! Never heard anybody play on any drum like he did back then.

I don't understand on what base people dislike Such a wonderful performance.

my god... these people are greater than great !!!

శతకోటి ప్రణామాలు మీకు🙏💐

Such a pleasure watching them play. What an inspiration they are!!! Mridangam player is so vibrant even at this age. Absolutely a treat to watch and listen to.

Kaliyua Nandhi miruthangam playing My God ! What a wonderful performance!

My Soulful Namaskarams on feet of Umayalpuram ayya. Not only for his talent for his lightheart and simplicity. He teaches Mridangam for Mr. Johnson's son who make and service his Mridangam. Mr. Johnson's 5 generation of family is making Mrudangam more than 100 years. Getting information from him only Mr. Rajiv menon made the film Sarvam thala mayam.

Old guru is too crazy

Hats off to such maestros.. they won't just give happiness by performing so great, but also create that craze in us to learn the instrument and be like them at some point...and thus keeping the tradition intact by that much...in all Indian classical music rocks

real master of sarvam thaala mayam

Superb. Jaese. Duniake. Sabse. Sundar. Duniame. Mae. Pohuchh. Gayihu..pranam. Thanksfor. Sharing

पता नहीं परंपरा समृद्ध भारत की वर्तमान पीढ़ी इन विशिष्ट कलाओं को आगे ले जा सकेगी या नहीं?

Instead of making hindi compulsory language option all over india why don't they impose sports and music a compulsory subject.....

Indian music is great

What a gem of a perfomance. So nice to Trlok Gurtu in the audience.

ಅತ್ಯಧ್ಭುತ

No words Amezing Your passion is your present Love 😊😊

'Sri Gurubhyo Namaha' to Thiru. Umayalpuram Sivaraman and to Sri. Anindo Chatterjee.... wow two stalwarts playing the greatest of Bharatiya percussion instruments. What great 'avardhanam' from them! The 'omkara naadham' emanating from these instruments is unmistakable. That is the beauty of Bharatiya percussion instruments. (Om Namah Shivaya! Om Namo Narayanaya! Jai Mahalakshmi! Jai Shakti!) And Thiru. Sivaraman sir at 85 yrs of age. A living legend among us! Delightful 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for sharing this clip. திரு.உமைடாள்புரம் சிவராமன் அய்யா அவருக்கும், ஸ்ரீமான். அனிந்தோ சட்டர்ஜீ அவருக்கும்.... ஸ்ரீ குருப்யோ நம: மிருதங்கமும், தபெலாவும் நம் புண்ணிய பாரத நாட்டின் தெய்வீக பாடல் கலைகளின் அற்புதமான பக்கவாத்தியங்கள். இரண்டிலிருந்தும், அதுவும் மிருதங்கத்திலிருந்து, 'ஓம்கார நாதம்' எழுகிறது மறுக்க முடியாதது.. நம்நாட்டு பக்கவாத்தியங்களின் தனித்தன்மையே-அழகே இதுதான். (ஓம் நமோ நாராயணாய! ஓம் நமச்சிவாய! ஜெய் சக்தி! ஜெய் மஹாலக்ஷ்மி) அதுவும் திரு. சிவராமன் சார் 85 வயதில் இத்தகைய வாசிப்பு அபாரம். இந்த தொகுப்பை பகிர்ந்தமைக்கு மிக்க நன்றி. 🙏🙏🙏

It is a great pleasure to see these two. great performers of thier art😊

Music ever in my life because I am addicted to Ilayaraja music

watching in 2020..BLISS!!!!!!!!!!

Simply awesome🙏👏

OMG, the complexity of the patterns and the speed with which the mridangam jambavan played the mohra korvai show the experience he has in this field(>60yrs) and the practice of 10 hours a day MAN!!!!! The tabla player couldn't hold a candle to the laya cintamanih and he would have been blessed to have played with him for atleast once in a lifetime. See the astonishment at 3:55 Not to forget, notice the violin duo enjoying it to the fullest See the right side player getting confused as to which side to look at at 3:22 to 3:30 UKS na summa vaa From 4:44 to 5:06, it is something out of this world

Austanishing old maannn🙏🙏🙏

With due respect yo all legends, plsyong Tabala is very difficult compared to either Mrudangam or Tavil. Both are legends and at the end Sri Sivaramanji is adored and respected by all on the stage and the audience giving standing ovation. Just enjoy their rendering and the hardwork they have put all these years to learn and drive us Cray while watching their performance. No comparison, as its not competition.

Super tabala and mrudangam performance....

What a wonderful sound. Amazing 🙏🏼

ಸರಸ್ವತೀ ಪುತ್ರ ರಿಗೆ ಇದೋ ನನ್ನ ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಶಿರ ಸಾಷ್ಟಾಂಗ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಗಳು., 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
