[@malavikaganesh9970]

Q: What's your fav band? Me: The madrasana kanjeera quartet 😎😎😎

[@hamsinikrishnan3028]

By closing your eyes and listening to the sound of the kanjira, one can literally sense the dance steps & movements made by Lord Nataraja. Besh👌🏿

[@shyamasundara2061]

I was thinking abt this ur comments where tgere

[@ganesankalimuthu7122]

Wonderful comment

[@dryatish2102]

Kanjira always was a sidekick Thank you for making him the Hero Maybe one day u can bring Salvaganesh sir

[@venkysankaranarayanan8]

A few days ago I saw a comment on Sundarkumar sir's channel on one of his videos where he was playing mridangam, saying I've never known or seen a kanjira player play such good mridangam or something on those lines. I was astounded by the amount of ignorance the person displayed, kanjira according to me is one of the most difficult indian percussion instruments, it's sad that it's often sidelined as an "upapakkavadyam". Great to see the quartet, and I appreciate the channel acknowledging the talent and taking this initiative. Loved the arunagirinathar inspired concept. Bramhavarchasam

Close my eyes and I hear drums. The hand movement is mind blowing. I never thought fingers can move that fast.

[@petitesaya]

I am amazed, the sound in unison, this flight that these notes offer to my soul, I thank you for so much love in 5 minutes and 25 seconds À 21h21,

[@vivekchavanmusic]

Came here because of OSR and I'm so grateful that i did. You guys are absolutely spectacular! Kudos to your genius!

[@Rama-Rama74]

😯Too many Superlatives: brilliant Sync, nuances on an instrument that seems harder to bring about vis-a-vis other percussion instruments with such clarity & at a Recording quality to match ! 👏🙏

[@aprilblossoms4]

Love love this performance! I know just about zero regarding kanjira and now I am fascinated that I want to learn more. Kudos to this quartet and to the MadRasana team!

[@waterfina4282]

My god! Such a beautiful instrument. Thanks for brining it back into mainstream CM discourse

[@rajnagaraj3994]

Wonderful performance, could not believe one could play Kanjira in such a robust style. Kudos to the kanjira Vidvans.

[@saitejaupputuri5023]

It seems very pleasant to hear though it is first hearing this, I feel this kind of traditional music deserves a lot of attention than it has now

[@chrysanthoschrysanthakopou4800]

Just amazing!!!! What a skill, what art, what a message that humility and hard work produce such magical team results!!!

[@bhagelawala]

THIS WAS FASCINATING! No words good enough to describe it. However, there used to be a maverick Baul singer from Bengal .. the late TINKORI CHAKRABORTY .. I would urge viewers to look him up too .. and listen to his style of playing the Kanjira! Not for any comparison .. they are Chalk & Cheese .. but for variety!

[@crazebike]

When the quartet started to resonate together...it is bliss... that's the beauty of music... The traditional Indian percussions are on a different level.. truth be told, I enjoy the percussions the most in any classical performances, the alaaps , thaans etc are mesmerizing... But nothing compared to the jugal bandi or Thani aavarthan of the percussions... I salute to all the legends and especially those who are taking this amazing art to further heights amidst the electronic music era... Kudos to the quartet.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@officialrevathy]

I just watched this performance on a reaction channel and came by to subscribe. The beat is still in my ears. You are blessed ❤️

[@karandevsingh8906]

Beautiful

[@parasharkchari]

Sundarkumar's approach, even from the very first avarthanam he played, I could hear so much of Harishankar's style coming out there. Never a bad move to follow in the footsteps of a legend.

[@cronkitepercussion]

This genre of drumming focuses a lot on group unison playing. Contrast that to traditional African drumming where many different rhythms combine to make a whole.

[@spdcrzy]

It's not this genre - just this particular performance.

[@deich31]

Yes and no. Sabar drumming (from Senegal and Gambia) has a lot of long, unison passages; a lot of American drummers say it reminds them of drumline music in that way.

[@zinthugobi2299]

U are right nice observation
