i don't argue in comments about stuff like a lot of people do. it's a waste of time. this guy is talented, this music can be entertaining... but it is not Hindustani Classical music... so anyone who may not be familiar with what kind of music is normally played on the sitar needs to check out real Indian Classical music.... please, it's so much deeper than this (in my OPINION)... remember everyone, we are expressing our opinions here, no one is right or wrong. cheers

@jabyers83 Niladri Kumar performed at Bangalore in September. I attended that concert. Pt. Jasraj ji was there. Since you are talking abt classical music, I am assuming you know who he is. He said, "Jisne bhi Pt. Ravishankar ko jawani mein bajate hue nahi suna hai voh Niladri Kumar ko sun le"

You want to say anything else.. and yaa in that concert Niladri played classical as well..

@govilh : No one is disputing Niladri's talent. I assume he played classical music alone in that concert? Now why can someone not prefer classical music to this kind of experimental stuff? I expect Pandit Jasraj himself does.

Or are you aware of Pandit Jasraj's opinion on this sort of "fusion" to the contrary? If you do, why not share it and enlighten us?

[govilh]

@dams0001 No in that concert he did not play classical music alone.. He only played one classical music piece. Pt. Jasraj said those line before the start of concert and Niladri Kumar started the concert with fusion music.

This video is by Asia Electric and not that good.. If you ever get a chance to listen to Sitar Funk, please attend it you will get enlightened.

@fudejinsu Believe it or not...the tune from 2:30 onwards is a devotional song made famous by Mahatma Gandhi.....and this in my opinion is the most awesome version of it!...:))

His choice of notes are superb.

@MyNameIsHitz Sorry for any confusion, nobody told me, but it seems like a lot of people viewing and/or leaving comments are under the impression this is the classical music of India. And don't worry, I am quite chill sir.

[MyNameIsHitz]

@jabyers83 Yes, but who told u this is Hindustani Classical? Chill, this isnt :)

[Valkyriefury]

@jabyers83 I agree with you, but I don't think that's really disputed. Think about the guitar. It is an old instrument, hell, the name guitar is derived from the ancient Greek instrument the kithara. It has been around for a long time, and features in many classical musical pieces. Those pieces are of course much deeper and much better than folk or pop musical pieces. However, folk and pop aren't necessarily meant to be deep, and yet they are still very enjoyable. I support the sitar's use too.

[MyNameIsHitz]

@jabyers83 he play classical at its best. But that does not means he should always play classical . i hope you got my point ;)

[Ombrenuit]

@hackie321 why can't the man play what he wants?
