[jabasong]

W(ah)onderful

[Dsaha10]

Darbar 2006 was an amazing and giant festival, so many great and reputed artists came to perform such as pt kumar bose, pt ramesh mishra, pt swapan chaudari, pt anindo chatterjee, and so many more

[1019drummer]

yes...........

[ramabu09]

Kya baath hai..

[gaura]

left hand on small side!

[sourabhnayan]

awesome..no words..

[gleb202]

just amazing!!! thank u so much!

[gotenkslevel6]

The white instrument is called the sarangi, if you would like more info about it, you can send me e-mails or write comments on my wall. I am actually his son, lol that's why i know about it.

[mjmbrumi]

What is this style of playing called? It's so different from Zakir Hussein, and Tariq Khan. But, it's very imaginative, and so beautiful. Somebody please explain :)  Thank you!

[yjvnz]

Zakir Hussain and Tari Khan are from Punjab Gharana, this great artist is from Banaras Gharana. Gharanas make a big difference in style, and all of them have their own unique style.

[FascistFashion]

Whoa, what's that white string instrument? I've never seen one before.

[shrooman777]

It's called 'Sarangi', played by Ramesh Mishra, one of the top Sarangi players. It's a very hard job to give good lehera.

[Ferwajan]

It is called Sarangi.

[yjvnz]

Its a Sarangi.

[dip123]

i luv the bass.

and the fact that he is left handed makes it more interesting and much more fun to watch.

[jsjamwal]

Pandit ji is great tabla player of india.

[kapissa]

wah wah mashallah very nice!!!!!

[wannakuwatta69]

can someone upload more of this great maestros tabla solos. why is Pt. Kumar Bose Ji's solos are so rare on Utube?

[himu90]

I will post some, but only audio

[Intelep]

The world would not be complete without pencil condensers.

[rudresh]

its spiritual....

[BanarsiPaan120]

Himu what does it matter`s who`s tabla he plays(: Quality doesn`t only comes with having a good tabla, it`s also about having good techniq and nikhaas in ur playing.

Pandit ji has all that.

Although i was hoping 4 a more autentic Benares tabla solo, this is great.

[sdhanyam]

Very nice...

I suggest you upload the same in 'Dynamycdesi'.It is a online talent contest site for people and gives an award to the 'Best Talent'.

[tshakoor]

This is awesome!!!!!

[laserflight]

simply Amazing

[allfieldsreq]

Is his tabla small or is he tall, or both?

[mbsobat]

such a dynamic, the sound effect, just great...

[himu90]

His bhaya sounds so superior....i am currently taking lessons from his senior student. I hope to take talim for panditji soon...

[sonofthedestroyer]

He is actually right handed. He learnt to play as a left hander. So he hits the bass drum with his strong hand (the right hand).

I remember someone telling me that.

[LostInTheRythms]

I dont think I could get use to playing with the baya on the right.

[TheChaNar]

Your great prejudice is evident in your comments. There are many of us who are left-handed in this world with all the rights to exist and play Tablas. We are indeed a rare breed because they used to beat us on the knuckles to change to the "right" hand according to Christian dogma....I am a living product of this very subtle form of bigotry and cruelty. However, as a percussionist, having developed ambidexterity has proven to be a divine blessing.

[fahmid2007]

I look forward to meeting him soon!! Pandit Ji is one of my favorite...Sayem

[mbsobat]

He is really good :)

[Subodas]

Nice playing but I prefer much more his accompaniment then his solos

[somedumbass90]

woohoo lefties rule!!!

[uchoob00]

great

[bPofDuluth]

Wow.

[sonofthedestroyer]

Powerful use of bass drum

[rudresh]

He is teh most powerful tabla player around. Have seen his live performances 4-5 times, and no other tabla player uses power like him to make it special...

[sonofthedestroyer]

Tari seems the other player who uses a powerful sound. But i reckon Kumar Bose is more classical. I am making a guess based on what i have heard.

[fahmid2007]

You are correct..

[thehappiestman]

damn bad

[TaalPanchamSawari]

haha, go and learn what tabla actually is. u have got no idea happiestman. Pt. Kumar Bose is a great Tabla Player

[ronyali2006]

He keeps the melody. That's great!!!

[kheybar]

MashahAllah.

[learnsitarorg]

Did he sign the tabla? Not to compare as i agree with the earlier comment that the four tabla players mentioned are the best right now in the world - but I saw someone at a Ustad Zakir Hussein show ask him to sign their tabla and he answered politely, "How am i to put my signature on Ma Saraswati's creation?" He was making a point about sound being God according to Vedic Texts. So i guess i am in awe that Pt. Bose signed your tabla. Nada Brahma.

[kandgenterprise]

if that was in toronto a few years back the somebody was me....

[onin8xoco]

Pandit Kumar Bose is a consumate artist! Which Recordings do you recommend?

greetings

from berlin

[iloveagoodbrew]

Dynamic is a great CD by him.

[ajrahi]

wow..the is so peaceful and beautiful. Can you please post some more? Please...God bless you for posting..

[easycrack]

Whatever any one calls it - show off, gimmicks, stunts .. it was peaceful! loved the clarity of playing

[paragsankhe]

this is just Beautiful.

[ravipadman22]

amazing!!!!!!

please post more!!!!!

[rudresh]

Pt Kumar Bose, Ust Zakir Hussain, Pt Anindo Chatterjee, Pt. Swapan Chawdhury are the best in the world. They all have individual style. Unfair to compare for anyone.

[TheChaNar]

You are indeed a wise person for your observations and comparison. Only those who are knowledgeable about the subtleties and intricacies of these instruments can appreciate the individual differences which give them their distinction.

[karwizz]

wah wah...

subhanallah!

pandit kumar bose is outstanding!

pandit ramish mishra a greatt accompaniment as well.

[walid69]

he is a show off 20 min to start a solo

[Rajvirdee]

charisma as a great asset ! The performance was over 2 hours long so 7 minutes (NOT 20!) is perfectly ok.

[dhruviji]

I can honestly say that it was the best tabla performance id ever been to, belive me ive been to lots. it was so good I asked Kumar Ji to sign my baya. I was soo exited, good job raju reminded me to get his blessings. Thanks Raju!

[PK7917]

i agree wit u man

[kandgenterprise]

sick wicked and nasty!!! that was amazing his hands are huge compared to the tabla what power

[BanarsiPaan120]

Wahhhhhh Re Wahhhh....

Bhout Badia Tabla bajawat huwa munna...Ka Baath hai.. bhout jabbardast...

abhijit is just a child compared 2 this Pandit.

so don`t talk crap..

[mithoo2006]

[manvirbains8835]
