This is not music.  All music comes from India. This is just people copying Indian stuff. Like a fake iPhone you can buy in Dubai.

@001001110110

lol

[lightningstrike92]

@001001110110 I've heard you can buy fake Indians as well... You seem to be obliviously unaware as to how much modern Indian music has ripped off from artists of other countries.

As for history, Indian classical music wouldn't be what it is today had it not been for the music (and instruments) that the Mughals brought from Persia and Afghanistan. It was indeed their culture and influence that was greatly responsible for shaping northern India.

[001001110110]

@lightningstrike92 - fair play, good point

[Keerpa]

Sounds nice. 

People who say afghans play "the real way" just sound jealous :P music evolves and people learn from good musicians which upgrades the level further. Some just sound so arrogant with their racist egotistical pride :S

Live and let live.

[rbrine01]

Shut up and listen to the Rabab!

[ShiningMissy]

I wish there was a band of afghan instrument players.. that would be very nice .. if the best ones would make an orkest..

[ShiningMissy]

Namekhoda....

[KumarTabla]

Kyaa baat !!!

[JaanArsh]

There must be very good Rabaab Player in the world, but in my opinion, The Afghan Rabaab player are matchless, they are real Rabaab players, they playing it in very true sense...

[nwakili100]

Nice Music. I love it.

[sujithtv]

Great music. Brilliant artists. Hats off

[afghanpalang]

wah wah namekhuda nice music thank you

[ashiola]

Aside from those who wanna assert their (cultural?) supremacy and show how much they know by insulting and trying to outdo each other, does anyone have more info on these players? That would be great. BTW, music is there to enjoy, not cast out. relax!!

[SULTANofWAR]

[samim12345]

the man whos playing Robab he was worlds best guitar player, he won in italy i dont exactly know the year.. but his awesome

[tripmonk0]

The Indian Sarod was altered from the Afghan Rabab.

Nick

[Gewaldro]

i heard so, too. a lot from iranian music was taken into indian music thanks to amir khusrau.

[tripmonk0]

Yes we must always aknowledge Persian influence in north Indian classical music!!!

Nick

[SULTANofWAR]

buddy when you refer to Persia, that's not correct

the influence came from the Greater area known as Khorasan, in particular the region that is nowadays Afghanistan

[tripmonk0]

Are you saying that there's NO Persian influence in Indian music?

One need only check out Iran/Persian classical music & then relate it back through the Mughal Emperors to see how certain styles have affected North Indian classical Music.

Nick

[SULTANofWAR]

im not saying that at all,Yet im afraid you dont know that much when it comes to the Moughal Empire. Babur had a palace in AFGHANISTAN, not iran. Both Sitar, Sarod, Tabla, and Qawwali's originates from Afghanistan, not iran. In the Moughal courts they spoke Dari, which was the afghani dialect of farsi.

[tripmonk0]

Please don't asume I know nothing about these things & that YOU know everything!!!

N

[SULTANofWAR]

then don't go around spreading half-assed information you prick.

[1meanieface1]

dude....shut up. you sound just as much as a prick, put on a fuckin monocle and read your newspaper in front of the fire asshole.

[Gewaldro]

actually the tabla is an indian instrument, it is used in afghan music but originally indian.

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

THIS IS raBAB.

bHAI mARDANA PLAYED THIS TO ACCOMPANY GREAT INDIAN gURU NANAK.

[jib14k]

it isn't a sitar

[freshat78]

Tabla and Rubabe Afghani 100%.

[greenteaent]

this has to be the best tabla i have seen.

[violaguy312]

seriously, i've never heard such clarity!

[Hafezfreak]

Raga Yaman, yes, vilambit tintal. Very much like sarod playing.

[ajrahi]

For heaven's sake! This is not SITAR. The instrument is called RUBAB and it predates both sitar and sarod by hundreds of years. Please change the title!! Why do Afghans have such a strong inferiority complex?

[Babliclat]

raga yaman yes?

[mshahrozhussain]

thats a rubab for sure....not a sarod

and it not indian... its pashtun and afghan

[LotusSitar]

It kinda looks like a sarod?

[turajrais]

if you could change the name of video to TABLA AND RUBAB from TABLA and SITAR, coz it is not sitar, it is rubab

[paulmako]

this is incredible! good work on the post!

[sithroya]

yes both afghan both from hamburg =D

[xdieselx369]

Both the musicians are Afghan and if i am not wrong they are from germany...

[sitariya]

It looks like north indian classical music with I guess Rabab, a afghan instrument.
