Shivaranjani is a most beautiful ragam, mercurial as anything ever was! I feel incredible each time I play it on my guitar - especially with the flat "ga".

[butahuruf]

Coll......Who is the maker of your bansuri?

[gOOfeee]

Wow, thank you very much!  I love this Raag!

[ColoradoBansuri]

Thanks. So for a mainstream raga like Bhairav, for example, the pakad is S-G-m-P-G-m-d-P-G-m-P-G-m-r-S. Can I play that in any rythm I want as long as I play the proper notes in the proper order, or is there a certain rythm that I must use?

Thanks again for you help. I'm very lucky to have someone like you to talk to!

[ColoradoBansuri]

Could you tell me about the Pakad? In any raga, is the pakad set to a definite rythm, or is it just a sequence of notes that gives familiarity to the raga?

Also, I come from a classical background of 20 years, studying Western music. That music is very structural and has a definite beginning middle and end. It seems a lot of indian music just moves foward and escalates. Is it that the music should only be listenend to in the exact present moment? If so, that's a beautiful concept.

[bansuriflute]

Shivranjani is not a mainstream raga, in the sense that it is mainly used for folk tunes and other semi classical forms. In semi classical ragas, rules are much more relaxed and are open to the artist's interpretation. You may even find other ragas mixed with the semiclassical ragas.

The main phrase in Shivranjani is Sa Re ga Pa -, Dha Pa ga Re Sa ga Re -. The resting place on Re in the descent is a very popular characteristic.

[bansuriflute]

In terms of improvisation of Indian classical music, yes, genererally (almost always), one begins with very slow tempo and long notes and end on faster tempo.

[hamzashahrukh]

Can you tell me yaar how long does it takes to be a good bansuri player ?

[kwantumspin]

a lifetime

[ColoradoBansuri]

I learned so much from this video! I wish more great players would do some brief instructional videos like this. I wish my lowered (komal??) Ga was that sweet sounding.

[shkirl07]

Amazing performance! Great artist!!

[hamzashahrukh]

I realy love this flute player, he is very talented, the way he plays is just remembering us of Krishna's bansuri !!
