[sitarsandy]

Such clarity and beauty -- most definitely reminiscent of Pandit Nikhil Banerjee! Please post some more for us! I would love to learn from you if you teach.

[sourish01]

Wow - I do not understand much about classical music - but this beautiful music made my day - great.

[jakemullick]

Wow.. I am totally speechless. He is just an amazing sitar player.. Does he live in the US? Where does he live? I suppose he has a school. It would be so nice to learn from him..

[clemalford]

Desh can also be played in Monsoon season even though it is an evening Raga.

[bmaj7]

maestro!

[dufusbug]

I only wish that I could find words  that explain just how listening to various Ragas of Classical Indian music speak to my heart...

I grew up in the West listening to various pop music, but THIS form of music and expression pleases me the most.

I am grateful to have EARS to listen to this and if there is music in heaven, then THIS is what will be heard!

Sincerely and THANK YOU for sharing!

[ajrahi]

Very beautiful and masterful. Can anyone please tell me who the artist is? He is a very skillful. Thanks for posting..

[ssayan3]

This is Debajit Chakrabarty, a sitariya from Kolkata. He's is from the senia gharana, and an up and coming talent.

[bishwaroop]

Dear Ajrahi,

The artist playing Rag Desh is Debajit Chakraborty from Kolkata. A promising Sitarist and student of Professor Santosh Banerjee, a student of Ustad Mohd.Dabir Khan

[kishoriray]

I think it sounds like Raag Desh, which is not a moonsoon raag, but a night raag... am i am wrong? Anyway it's nice.

[ajrahi]

You are absolutely correct. This is raga Desh.

[jdspare]

intense.......washing flows.....better than most "trance" music.

[ragamalaproductions]

Wow...incredible! Please post more.

[daz199md]

very nice, clean playing

taans are super clean

[transocean80]

wah! aapka haath toh bahut tayaar hai !

some off-beat stuff was awesome :)

[namjap]

Raag Desh - should be in Thath Kafi instead of Asavari.

[generalghruff]

I was always taught that Desh is in Khamaj Thaat.

[cenkjeekhan]

kyabhaatai!! Bohut atcha!

[jimboindahouse]

SHITar for niggas

[adventuregamer1]

Jealousy must be a hard thing to face, huh?  When you die, are you going to proud of all this? (by the way, if you're going to use a racial epithet, can you at least not embarrass yourself by using it on the wrong people?)

[BHARTICHOKSHI10]

He is reminding me of Pt.Nikhil Benerjee.What a promising young artist.Wish him all the best.

[generalghruff]

I was going to say the same thing, he sounds like he has been studying Nikhil Banerjee's sound a lot.

[dhruvsodha]

Wah! Nicely played. Keep it up
