[Moog167]

[nkodikal]

Awesome stuff!! Thanks for uploading

[BanarsiPaan120]

people r just jealous because muslims r the best musicians of india.. They brought this music 2 india and devoloped it.. It`s with their grace and love that they teached hindus and others.. It`s by their grace that the banares gharana was maid.. PT Ram Sahai learned with old muslim ustad.. So give respect and then you will get it

[shankyxyz]

whats this got to do with hindu muslim. please get a life. all ur comments are inaccurate anyways. no other muslim country (leaveaside pakistan) has any music close to quality of indian classcial music. so, this is not a hindu muslim thing. it is indian. also u are forgetting south indian classical music.

[tintala]

according to mythology, it was ganesh who played the PAKHWAJ, the ancestor to the tabla, Indian Music transcends religious boundaries, music IS the religion.

[theasdfghjklify]

@tintala The word you are looking for is "Spirituality," not "Religion."

[tintala]

@theasdfghjklify ummm no, I meant "RELIGION", religion by default has boundaries. Zakir Hussain was born in Punjab as a muslim, yet performs with HINDU elements alot!

[theasdfghjklify]

@tintala Are they intended to be interpreted as Hindu elements though? Believe what you want Tintala, that's the beauty of not just Indian Classical Music, but music in general. Hence the word Spirituality is more appropriate. Kumar Bose himself has said that "through his music, he feels connected spiritually."

[tintala]

@theasdfghjklify you know what, I am mature enough to know exactly what I meant.

[theasdfghjklify]

@tintala You know tintala that it was the Muslims who brought this music to the hindus? Hindus learnt tabla from the Muslims. Why do you think that there were not any prominant hindu tabla players 100 years ago? It's because Tabla was kept for the Muslims.

[tintala]

@theasdfghjklify ummm NOOOOOO< Persia had more influence than muslims, besides, the pakhawaj and mantra was mentioned in the Gita 5,000 yrs ago,,, stop talking to me.... I am going to block you.

[paagaldas]

Poise and elegance in spite of such difficult material. Great going, Akrambhai!

[bbribit]

Fantastic playing. I love how he keeps looking to the sides

[sonofthedestroyer]

Funny how videos of classical musicians attract morons who belong in football matches. The number of times i have been verbally abused for leaving opinions is shocking and funny. I love it. Better entertainment than the videos themselves.

[AnInfant]

haaaah

[allfieldsreq]

What do you mean?

[allfieldsreq]

I asked u what u meant by:

"Funny how videos of classical musicians attract morons who belong in football matches. The number of times i have been verbally abused for leaving opinions is shocking and funny. I love it. Better entertainment than the videos themselves."

[sonofthedestroyer]

I left a few comments about famous musicians which were critical but respectful. And i get verbally abused with the worst kind of language imaginable. It makes me think what kind of people are watching videos of Indian classical people. I ofcourse not bothered and i enjoy it and laugh.

[rochsar]

what a rela subhanAllah

[himu90]

No its not a kaida. The 2nd piece is a rela.

[himu90]

Cos I know.

[theanhadnaad]

Kaida-rela. very common in Ajrada Gharana

[kakkaface]

Allah = fake

[fahmid2007]

Take your stupid comments elsewhere..funny how these vids attract idiots like your self...

[BanarsiPaan120]

Much love and respect!!

[dhruviji]

What gharana is he from?

[theanhadnaad]

Ajrada

[allfieldsreq]

Ajrada, Same as Ustad Bundu Khan Ustad Habibuddin Khan and Gulam Sarwar Sabri.

[gurdain]

I can't believe some of the rude and hateful comments on this video

That said, Akram Khan is a very consistent, speedy and clear tabla player. His baya is extremely efficient. I have one of his solo CDs and if you skip anywhere on the CD on the computer, you'll find the quality and volume is the same everywhere - that's how much stamina this guy has got!

[c1ami6special]

C'est fantastic ! Ton travail est on ne peu plus réussi. Félicitation !

[fahmid2007]

This is Awsome..this guy must be up there with Zakir, Anindo and Tari ji's!! he is really good.

[sonofthedestroyer]

Actually he is technically better than Zakir and Tari and on level with Anindo.

[tirakita]

i think ur a complete idiot-thank you and have a nice day

[sonofthedestroyer]

Yes i had a nice day thank you! Hope you had a nice day too.

[AzamatBagatov101]

[gobbler302]
