Anindo Chatterjee and Trichy Sankaran - tabla-mridangam duet - Toronto 2002

[@subbuiyer89]

This is real percussion, there is no fudge here . The best ara chaapu after Mani Iyer.

[@ravi18tripathi]

What effortless playing by both the artists. Tons and tons of practise required for that.

[@mac1guitar]

I Love this video...some of the most amazing purcussion i have ever heard!

[@tectec89]

no. mridang is made of clay and is predominantly used in north east India. mridangam on the other hand is made of jack fruit wood and is play mainly in south India. But the very early mridangam were made of clay but wood eventually replaced it. the etymology of the word mridang or mridangam is mrid=mud and ang or angam=body.

one of the best !

[@srutin8115]

yes. it is

[@CR9FAN101]

no. the one at the left is the mridangam and the the right hand side one is the tabla.

[@vivekanandhanchandravathi]

There is one troll here....disliked this video

[@FutbolFanatic90]

I think it's easier to get the bass low when the temperature is higher. at least from my experience.

[@redrotney]

This is some manly shit here.

[@deepakkowshika2966]

With all due This is the second duet I have seen Pandit Anindo get smashed by Mrudangam. IMO, there are a lot more sounds produced by the Mrudangam and Carnatic Music itself accomadates more talas and hence the vibrant patterns that you can get out of the permutation and combinations

[@shuvamghosh81]

Nobody is smashing anybody here. These two greats are creating music not duelling! It is petty people like you with limited understanding of their art who are smashing the peace this music offers. Duds for whom we have absolutely no use whatsoever.

[@deepakkowshika2966]

Shuvam Ghosh you obviously aren’t trained on either

[@shuvamghosh81]

[@insearchofpeace2151]

Deepak, I think for this particular video, I think you might be confusing the age and the merit gap resulting due to the difference between the age of the two players with what other points you have said. I have heard that South Indian Classical Music is rhythmically more intricate than North Indian Classical Music. A more senior musician than Anindo Chatterjee accompanying Dr. Trichy would have maybe convinced you of other views. I too hear a gap between the performances of both these artists. Dr. Trichy's command over the Mridangam and in general over Rhythm is better than Pandit Anindo Chatterjee's command over Tabla. But I think that's mainly due to age. A senior musician of North Indian Classical Music would have been better for this performance. And your argument that more talas leads to more permutation and combinations seems reverse to me. A percussionist's ability to calculate leads to permutations and combinations on the compositions of the talas. We define a Tala. So its intricacy is left upto our imagination. Also, age, dedication, training these are contributing factors. I am sure not everyone can produce such calculated beats as Dr. Trichy without them being spoon fed.

[@tectec89]

i hope this answers. :)

[@chelseahighlights4980]

Is the Mridanga and Mridangam the same instrument?

[@MotoVikz]

Both are same.

[@VijayKumar-tq7sm]

it was enjoyable when the two great artists were playing solo; it becomes jumbled and cacophonous when they play their instruments simultaneously; not the players' fault...i guess the percussion characteristics of the two instruments do not lend themselves to be combined; sometimes the attempts to marry different styles don't pan out and i get this feeling often whenever i hear "fusion" music...though it is becoming trendy these days to do so;

[@TejasM14]

It is not the problem of fusion, but the manner of it. When you play together, you need to do exactly that. Play together! Indian classical music follows the tradition of the soloist. Teams are very rare. Temperaments don't match. Egos are high. Worse yet, there is little to no planning before any show. While I am all for spontaneity, it takes team work to keep a team afloat. I bet these masters just got onto to the stage and started playing. Fusion music can work if there is understanding and appreciation of each other's personality. Shakti being a stellar example, where John Mclaughlin drew everyone's genius in. The pinnacle of musical teamwork is the western classical orchestral tradition, where every single thing is thought out to the point. Indian music simply doesn't follow that method. Which is why melodic and percussive spontaneity work well. But if you have two competing styles of precision, you might get cacophony.

[@shuvamghosh81]

@@TejasM14 I like your way of explaining. You are probably correct too.

[@chitrayudhghatak]

correction: mridanga is used in east India.

[@MotoVikz]

Mridangam is an integral part of south indian music/Carnatic classical music.

[@rajerino]

Ridiculous cohesion

[@insearchofpeace2151]

Are you saying it in a demeaning way or in a good way?

[@sreembit]

Trichy Sankaran just controlling.. Anindo is great but if Mr.Trichy wants, this would have been very one sided.. it was almost one sided :)

[@shuvamghosh81]

What do you understand of percussion. First you are comparing and the biggest sin - you don't have the depth of knowledge to judge Anindya CHATTERJEE .

[@sooryag1936]

@@শব্দবাণ What do you know about Indian percussion in general? Listen to Prof. Sankaran and you will understand what he is saying. Pt.Anindo Chatterjee is a great Tabla Artiste but slightly below Sankaran Sir

[@shuvamghosh81]

@@sooryag1936 it is futile to engage in a duel of words with the uninitiated. It is a bigger mistake to enter into an argument with opinionated non-experts. It is dangerous even. It is ok to express your opinion but it is sacrilege to compare apples with oranges. You probably don't have a clear perception of what this tabla maestro epitomises. You are rating his genius! Probably this has got something to do about the north south divide. However your mindless comments will not compel me in any way to undermine the great talent of the mridangam wizard. I am an ardent worshipper of all great musicians. And unlike petty people I don't compare. God save our fraternity from the biased and prejudiced who are doing great disservice to classical forms.
