#Sitar

I was lost in the pace of the strings, while she watched without a blink. Also what love looked like. . . . . sitar, sitar player, indian classical music, instrumental music, raag music, fast tempo, live music, classical fusion, music performance #sitar #indianclassical #instrumentalmusic #livemusic

In a 1985 BBC conversation with Marian Foster, Ravi Shankar spoke about the sitar not just as an instrument, but as something that has to be understood slowly over time. He explained how the sitar itself is carefully constructed from its hollow body to its multiple strings, each designed to create resonance and depth. But more than the instrument, he focused on the discipline behind it. Learning the sitar isn’t quick. It takes years of daily practice, often under a guru, where music is not written down but passed on through listening, repetition, and memory. Ravi Shankar himself trained for years under his guru, developing not just technique but sensitivity to sound. What stood out in this conversation is how he described good music not as playing more notes, but as understanding how to move between them. The pauses, the bends, the subtle shifts. That’s where the expression lies. For him, music was never just performance. It was something shaped with patience, discipline, and attention until it begins to feel almost like a voice. And maybe that’s why, when you listen closely, it doesn’t feel like just music.

Arey muh toh band karo uncle! 🤪🤭 Hahah, this was so random…. @ashok_tabla was playing around with a groove on the tabla, and mid-way it suddenly started sounding like that part from Tumse Milke. I just looked at him like… wait, we have to try this. No plan, no pressure, just pure fun… and it sounded so good 😄 . . . . #fyp #explore #srk #sitar Sitar, sitarist, jugalbandi, tumse milke dil ka, tabla.
