  • It is very sad that he died such an early age, otherwise he would have been the greatest Sitarist on this planet. Musician like Nikhil babu never comes to this planet every time.

  • psychodelic musiccccc

  • So much beauty in His playing! And at the same time Peace and Humility ! Nowadays rearly to find such Musicians who are looking for the Soul and not for Name and Fame. Nikhil-Da is my greatest and soulfulliest Sitar player i ever heard !

  • @super1931 I can only agree with your words. He is a musical Mystic!!!

  • Much os this is so simply played. Yet is is so complex and so, so beautiful. That meend from dha to sa kills me every time I hear it. No one was like Nikhilda on sitar.

  • Melodius and melancholy raag like Jogiya can only beplayed to its maximum beauty by Nikhil Banerjee. He was the Greatest Sitar player of the Indian subcontinent.

  • The musicians of today are after money and fame. They don't have the feel of the raags and play music without truly understanding the central theme which is not from this world.

    So if spirituality is not there then music sounds so flat.

    Nikhil Banerjee never sacrificed the principals that were laid very early. If he wanted to play a 100 minute raag then so be it.

  • so cool!!! msg me!

    umm LOL ahhehe Rc

  • I need to find anything similar to this...I don't know where to start...I've seen other videos on youtube but I want this type of melody...

    And when the tabla beat kicks in...oh my god.

  • If you're looking for something this speed, search for "vilambit gats". If you're looking for somethign with this melody outline look for other versions of "Rag Jogiya". Also you could ook for other morning Ragas or Ragas from the Bhairav thaat. Those should lead you to some similar sounds. :)

  • very moving. have you heard abdul karim khan's piya ke milne ki aas ? just the same intensity

  • his music was full of karuna rasa. greatest ever musician.

  • This is incredible... I can't get enough of this... Nikhil was a genius.

  • speechless, i have seen this video at least a 100 times. i wish i could see him just one more time in concert, and possibly performing the same raag.

  • Passes the gooseflesh test. Awesome, inspiring yet easy to appreciate - true test of a master musician!

  • Nikhil, I love you.

  • i wonder how long it takes to fix and tune all the strings? XD great playing

  • i wish i had 1% of his ability and talent. A god given gift to us. MAGIC TOUCH

  • The greatest sitar master who ever lived!

  • Heard him for fifteen years; still do on recorded stuff. NEVER, EVER did he disappoint us. To quote a hard-core music-buff from his (and my) home-city: "Nikhil is either very, very good... or sublime." Yes, we miss you Nikhil-babu; you left too soon.

  • vah!

  • Anindoda my dear teacher...you r the best tabla player iv ever seen..

  • man i luv sitar

  • Beautiful. Post more!!

  • beyond swar, ras et al

  • Nikhil, I love you.

  • You said it Sitariya06! The best Sitarist ever. And also a very young Anindo Chatterjee!

  • KYABAT

  • ah kyabat! what a master! the best sitarist ever!

  • What a soulful jogiya !! Nikhilda we all miss u a lot.
