You will love this Best Konnakol with ghatam exponent Giridhar Udupa who is a percussionist par excellence from India. This video is from the concert titled ‘Percussion Masters’ - a percussion ensemble consisting of the Tabla, Jori, Mridangam and Ghatam. This Konnakol solo recital of the young Ghatam player will definitely give you a boost. You can feel the energy in this presentation which is loved by all of the musicians on the stage and in the audience. This is one of our favourite Konnakol solo recitals.
Ghatam and Giridhar Udupa are synonymous in Carnatic Music. He started training in mridangam, a different percussion instrument altogether, under his father Vidwan Ullur Nagendra Udupa from the age of 4. In an interview to Darbar, he reminisces how he was more fluent in the rhythm syllables of the Mridangam before he had even learned the first syllables of his mother tongue.
Ghatam happened in the process of an experimental adventure by his father. At age 9, one of his father’s colleagues had a Mridangam concert in which, he needed a ghatam accompanist. Giridhar was taught the first few basics of Ghatam overnight by his father after which, he played the concert which captivated the seniors and also made him realize that perhaps, Ghatam was his calling.
A charming stage presence with a cherubic smile, Giridhar is one of the few musicians of his genre who has pushed the boundaries of a hoary tradition and collaborated with other genres of music, making it a happy marriage of ideas and disciplines.
Notice the modulation of his voice and the way he sets to motion, a peppy groove throughout his recitation - it sets an example of how music can be made universally appealing even though a strict adherence to age-old traditions is maintained at the same time.

Благодарю Вас за прекрасную музыку, мне очень понравилось. Выкладывайте, пожалуйста, видео почаще!

[@adityanautiyal7710]

Alot of us who get a surface level exposure to music like this, end up thinking a musical instrument such as ghatam is very easy to master and does not involve complexities, but after seeing such maestros the perception changes completely.

[@sunilsuresh2379]

Hi, thank you for this wonderful video. I have subscribed to the Darbar festival (1 yr subscription, via the main website), However, I am finding it hard to use the video player on my mobile. There is some mention of an app on the website, however, I cannot find a link or in the app store (android). Is it possible to help me out in some way? For instance, if all the videos are going to be made available for members only on youtube, could you convert my subscription to the youtube membership? This would help a lot since I having a lot of problems playing the concert videos on the Darbar Festival website. I use the premium version on youtube, so that way, I can even listen to the audio with the screen turned off or even download it on the app for offline access. I am not able to access the videos without the internet, and due to the nature of my work, I cannot access the internet always. Please help! Thank you!
