Hariharan and Ustad Zakir Hussain - Darde ke rishte

[2005chs]

haunting and sad... lets u dwell the past or appreciate good things in life.. truly a treat for soul.

[aliaziz87]

This is the same raga Mehdi Hassan sang 'Jab tere nain muskuraate hain' in. He called it Raga Sehra. I think it bears structural similarities to Komal Rishab Vibhas but is actually Sehra, because the composition of this and the other ghazal are identical. Thoughts?

[kk10061]

for god;s sake please this is tal roopak of 7 beats tin tin na dhin na dhin na and the rag in which this composition is made is komal rekhab vibhas .but but this is not a shud rag .lot of other sur have been used .he has done just super job .

[cpslrlcsh]

Can some one plese post the LYRICS of the ghazal. This song has a resemblance of the raag Lalith. (May be I am incorrect also).

[intezam]

Here is one of his earlier Urdo ghazals: /watch?v=pUZDPSOVaho

[joelsing1]

One and only "HARIHARAN JEE" take care

God bless u .

[cpslrlcsh]

What is the rag of this ghazal. Can someone please post the LYRICS of this ghazal. Thanks

[cpslrlcsh]

What is the rag of this ghazal.

[nawabshaukat]

ghazal at its PEAK 

[rohitsurve100]

I have no words. It's too good

[Asiftabrez]

Nice Ine

[vijayshuna]

Wah! Two greats... Pandit Hariharan and Ustaad zakir Hussain.

Everyone knows about Zakir Saab's genius. Hari Saab can change raag at will that I dont think any vocalist in the world apart from perhaps Shankar Mahadevan can do.

[TablaDiablo01]

Who thinks it is recorded separately, that is awesome. If its recorded together that is still awesome. Both ways it takes skills to do that

[bangaloresarangan]

Excellent... Hariharan is one of the best in India - He can sing Carnatic, Hindustani, Ghazal or Cine music all in enchanting fasion...

[cpslrlcsh]

What is the raga of this ghazal ?

[JaydeepRHUL]

the starting reminds Mehdi Hassan sahib.

[msanghadia]

I agree that the tabla is distracting--this item is really Hariharan's and Zakir Hussain should have gracefully let him sing with just a gentle background support. Hari, by the way, is wonderful!

[MrYuvraaj]

zakir sahaab is disturbing hariharanji , he should keep straight theka while the main singer is singinging , during the time of laggis play what ever you want.

[TheTinakaka]

I Highly doubt Hariharan Ji would have recorded with Zakir Ji if he was being disturbed.

[agshjdjahdlkagd]

taal- rupak (7 beats). The bass falls on beats 4 and 6. (and resonates through 5 and 7). That should help you orient yourself.

[MusicShiv]

What taal is this exactly? Can someone reply with the answer?

[4usita]

@MusicShiv Not sure if you have already found the answer to this. But this is a 9 and a half beat. 7 beats and 5 half beats.

[afghanforlife]

@4usita

hmm...no. This is rupak taal of 7 beats.

[madhuchundra]

I see that there is a discussion going on about Zakir's tabla in this record. I have been a classical musician for over 15 years and I play both the tabla and the harmonium. Tabla is primarily an accompanying instrument, so is the harmonium. When not playing as solo, these instruments need to be played in soft sync with the main performer. Ustads like Zakir, sometimes, tend to show off their Saadhana even while playing an accompanist's role. This may not feel good always, especially for Ghazals.

[TablaGuy16]

You cant necessarily perceive the tabla he plays in this ghazal as "showing off". Firstly, its a ghazal, In ghazal, tabla is expected to play laggi's at certain theme points in the ghazal. Secondly, if you gonna choose one of the best tabla players in the world to play tabla in your recording, he will play at his level and nothing less, otherwise, Hariharan would have chosen someone else. Thirdly, they both know each others skill level, therefore "more can be done".

[afghanforlife]

@TablaGuy16

I agree, you cannot get a bighead like Zakir Hussain to play with you and expect him to not be a bighead. At least we now know that ZH is terrible at accompanying ghazal singers. Everything about his playing is just too manic for this style of music. Laggis are one thing but there's too much happening in the theka as well. It didn't work for me...

I think ZH like most big shot tabla players are best left to only do solo performances, they don't have what it takes to provide sangat

[legoman786]

The tabla isn't bad. You just can't appreciate it complimenting the song.

[qawalniazi]

subhan allah kia baat hai

[5526dip]

evergreen combo

[rohancool222]

its  ''"HAZIR"''

[marx99]

Does anybody know the name of this CD by any chance?

[1carlento]

hazir is the name of the cd

[akbarkhamisu]

my name is akbar khamisu khan i perfamince alghoza my wish one time i perfarm together hari and usted zakir

[prak16]

nice but harmonium was bit off .

[violinoamore]

Nice, except that dreadful harmonium ...

[anildha]

Ustad Zakir Hussain is simply one the best accompaniment maestros ever, completely at east and in command with ANY form of music. The way I look at it , is that he has done this album with Hariharan as a special project on a equal, co-musician footing. So it should not be judged as a traditional ghazal program.

[wannakuwatta69]

I am a big fan of both hariharan and Zakir. I agree Zakir is not the best accompanist for Gazal. But that doesn't mean he is bad accompanist. He is a great accompanist for many instrumentalists. also for Kathak dancing. He is an all rounder I would say. Don't judge by just listening to one recording. Musicians have their moments. I have listened to Zakir's accompaniment for Pt. Jasraj and V.G Jog. He plays according to the musician.

[sonofthedestroyer]

wannakuwatta69 (3 months ago) ,

I agree. Zakir is a very good Kathak accompanist but not so much for Ghazal. Tari Khan is more of a ghazal accompanist.

[silentscrap]

MASTERPIECE!

[giggs12d3]

wow nice song! does any 1 know the bame of the CD this song is on or where i can find this song at ?

[FSAYED04]

Down load real player... latest free version... It will allow you download this video on you're real player... then you can burn it on you're cd as wave file. It does everything automatically... Good luck.

Farhad : )

[tdsmapper]

Zakir is a terrible accompaniment percussionist!

He spoils the song with his over-playing! I agree he needs to show his talent, but being an accompaniment means he should support the singer, and not dominate the soundspace.

[chetansingh2006]

is that the case, interesting insight

[tdsmapper]

I strongly think so.

Do listen to the song Shahar dar Shahar. Both almost seem to be in their own tracks, as if Zakir recorded for the taal separately, and Hariharan sang separately, and both were put together!

[tdsmapper]

Not much in this piece, but he generally does that! This piece, Ustad Zakir is pretty good!

[raothegreat08]

This is a very good composition ofcourse Zakir Hussain is great on tabla, Hariharan is too good his voice is so smooth and all harkat and nazakat is always there in his ghazals.Love it

[zad1262]

Nicely sung. Ustad Zakir is better in his solo performances. Other artistes are much more enjoyable in accompaniment. It sounds very mechanical, like an electronic tabla!

[sonofthedestroyer]

If you go to James kippen website on tabla it explains perfectly what is wrong with many modern tabla players.

he has descriptions and audio clips of legendary tabla players of old who are two leagues above the guys today.

These tabla players even i had not heard before.

It was through him i discovered magicians like Ustad Amir Hussain, Ustad Bashir Hussain Goga, Ustad Afaq Hussain etc

[zad1262]

Thanks - the site is really nice - This tabla is real bad - if I say awful Ill get flagged by everyone :-)

[fahmid2007]

Idiot!! I really dont know why you pathetic losers end up here...

[insomniaHHHHH]

do u actually know anything about tabla?

[qawalniazi]

great singer hari haran and very great tabla player ustad zakir khan i love this ghazal

[fahmid2007]

Zakir Hussain

[qawalniazi]

great singer hari haran and very great tabla player ustad zakir khan i love this ghazal

[ramman916]

zakir hussain both acha sey bajaye tabla humey +1 dena agar hum right hey

[jaazizaidi]

love to listen more n more

[kalmincan]

Excellent composition!Beautiful rendering and of course, mind blowing tabla accompaniment

[mathguru67]

This gazal was recorded without Pt. Zakir Hussain accompanying. The two greats did their recordings seperately and recordings were mixed later. Hats off to both!!!

[sonofthedestroyer]

hahahahaha are you serious? The idea never occured to me!

[TaalPanchamSawari]

Pt.(Pandit) Zakir Hussain? not Pandit, Ustad Zakir Hussain. he is muslim.

[abbyroman]

There are no muslim pandits but there are quite a few Hindu ustads.

[orphius18]

@mathguru67 , He is nor Pt. Zakir Hussain, He is Ustad Zakir Hussain...

[1carlento]

@mathguru67 first of all its Ustad Zakir Hussain and not Pt.

and secondly you are wrong!

[SitarMusic123]

Pakhrat, I think you should refrain from commenting on artists like Zakir Hussien.. with all due respect, Hari Haran is not even in tune...one who knows music should know...

[torontokerehenewale]

Do not worry about pakhrat ,sitarmusic123 his comments are irrelevant ,i think any ghazal singer in the world will, willing accept Zakir ji as their accompanist,whenever zakir saheb makes his mind to play with ghazals only. Well played ustad Zakir hussain.

[sonofthedestroyer]

I doubt you actually listen to this clip. You simply listen to the idea that the great Zakir hussain is playing. Zakir is a fantastic solo drummer but he is absolutely awful accompanying Hariharan. Problem is most of you already made up in your mind that Zakir is playing so it is going to be good. All rationality goes out the window. One guy posted a video called 'Zakir Hussain-chakradar gone bad' But so many people got upset and denied it furiously that the poster changed the title. Very sad.

[zad1262]

Well said - while I enjoy listening to Zakir solo this was just off key. Ustad Tari is excellent at both solo as well as with others. Ustad Tafo Khan is good solo - as is Zakir Hussain. Time ans time again i was shaking my head wondering where the taal had gone off to in this clip.

[fahmid2007]

My friend, you have no clue about science of tabla...Really dont know how you even have the courage to comment like this?

Sick of you people who have no idea on music!

[yjvnz]

He wasn't aiming at the stereotypical ghazal accompaniment like the ghulam ali ghazals you hear.THis was quite different, and he was in taal. Its impossible for him to lose taal.

[pakhrat1]

Is this zakir hussain on tabla . I think he should stick with his solos . Hariharn sang

this guzal amazing . thanks

[govisteen]

yes it is Ustad Zakirji on Tabla.. HAZIR is amazing

[shailendrakmishra]

You are saying that Ustad Zakir Hussain can't play keherwa.

[TaalPanchamSawari]

who said he cant play keherwa taal? but this ghazal is in rupak taal, not keherwa

[pallab1234]

I agree, it is 7 beats not 8.

[torontokerehenewale]

Well done shailendramishra keep up with the good work ,yes indeed tell pakhrat1 that zakir ji is a universal player and he is equally comfortable playing with ghazals ,thumri ,dadras,khayal, instrumental,solo,kathak dance,and west fusion.Zakirji is the best and nobody will ever come close to him.

[Sundar333]
