people all over the globe has something in common, but also something in difference, everyone has their own sense of art, so, you can compare indian music to chinese music, they're ifferent, but both are beautiful, rock and roll and indian sitar, both beautiful, but they're different. So, what does that mean? Everyone has their own sense of art, everyone's passion, spirit, and soul, are all beautiful...

Wow, I guess I should not listen to what I thought was lovely music. Everyone wants to argue. I think I will just go to a bar-b que and eat some good food. And Never think of this episode when, I just thought of hearing some good music. And by the way someone said they don't know where the flute came from? Give us a break! Never mind I will Patel food tonight.

@NinetiesYouth you are very wrong there. Indian music has harmony..you would realize this if you actually listened. this piece is very sophisticated and harmonic
-
@camel04 correction, Modern western music has no skilled timing.

@ponugups I've heard the best of Western music, y'know, the type that actually has some harmony

@NinetiesYouth And yet you are a 'master' to comment on 3000 years of music?

@NinetiesYouth I studied classical western music here in the US and I really do appreciate Indian music. I don't really compare it to Western classical because they seem so different to me. Indian music uses more notes within the octave, meaning there are more tones per octave in Indian music. Also, instrumentation is traditionally different as well. I find it beautiful. I also love the singing and much of the dancing.



First of all, timing in indian music is very different and a lot more complex than anything you will find in the west. So if it sounds off to you, its because you have no sense of musical, I dont mean that offensively, most people dont have a sense of musical time. Furthermore, western musicians will struggle grasping the timing as the time signatures are very atypical for western. Keep listening and expanding your mind!

Because its not what you grew up with. Human nature is very culture centric on "what should be right" so to say.
