Not absolutely sure it belongs on this thread. The song might be folk music but the technique seems to be classical to me.

(Also I remember little about the politics of Kashmir but I'm thinking this probably shouldn't have gone here.)

Is there a book anyone can recommend about the history (as far as we know it) of indian classical music, or at least a sort of beginner's guide that discusses the key players of the past century or so, defines specific terms and instruments, etc?― Wimmels, Thursday, August 11, 2016 2:09 AM (ten months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Late reply, but I read The Music of India by Reginald & Jamila Massey. Not sure how it compares to other books on this topic, but I found it informative. It gives a brief history of the nation of India in addition to a more in depth discussion and description of Indian classical music. There are many pages at the end devoted to just about every instrument imaginable as well as an overview of prominent musicians (note: it was published in the 70's, so that part's a little out of date).

I've just noticed the excellent Nooran Sisters are playing at Wembley Arena in September.

Why is Shahid Parvez Khan always overlooked?
― zacata, Thursday, 22 December 2022 12:22 (one year ago) link
It's an OK list, but it doesn't make any mention of percussion as far as I can see? For me that's such an important aspect - for example in the Ali Akbar Khan link, the percussion is as important for me as the sarod playing.
― Luna Schlosser, Thursday, 22 December 2022 13:01 (one year ago) link
Percussion just isn't there in many records. Nikhil Banerjee -- which I've been listening to -- is just solo sitar, so I don't know if that's important.

What would you recommend?
XpostThere’s a long and rich history (and theory and practice) of percussion in Indian classical music.

I mean he’s an absolute master so I feel like the recommendation is really whatever raags you enjoy that he has recordings of, which at this point is probably most of the main ones and some rarer ones as well…I particularly like his versions of Madhuvanti and Bhupali.
I’d check out Kushal Das’ surbahar recording of Marwa while you’re at it.

Also just rereading through some of the above but Nikhil Banerjee was definitely accompanied by tabla players, and in fact, I can’t think of any ICM musicians who play fully solo (you can’t really play the gat without it)
― zacata, Monday, 26 December 2022 12:07 (one year ago) link
tabla is the best
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 26 December 2022 17:13 (one year ago) link
Yes the other side of Banerjee has tabla, but first side is solo.
I am downplaying it a bit since I've never heard solo tabla records..

There have been plenty of notable percussionists. Check out Alla Rakha and Zakir Hussain for example.

Nice channel and now they have an app too.

Kaushiki Chakraborty Washington Dc area gig sold out quickly. She sent me voice memo answers via What’s App for an article I was writing.
