that's the greatness of legends like him,if at all a wrong note is played,they make it sound like awesome.Niladri sir is truly an inspiration. long live

[@TheRAZSOR]

Don't exaggerate. If he would have played a wrong note, people would have noticed it. It's not 2005 anymore. Classical artists are monitored at every beat.

The zitar only has 5 or 6 strings. 😅 he actually got rid of the original 19 strings. The sound is really rockesque.

Mayank Rathore but look at the cover up

[@dhwanitd]

+Mayank Rathore yes he played one wrong note and then covered with playing bunch of some other notes. He is fantastic but honestly I observed similar mistakes in his other performances too. Well that doesn't matter much because he is accepted by mass ! nobody can challenge

It's a shame he has to play to this shitty song to promote such a beautiful Instrument and tradition.

[@SorcerorStrange]

He had worked on that song as he said in the beginning of the video

[@anuragekka317]

​@@SorcerorStrange Yes I meant the same.

[@SrikanthIyerTheMariner]

Niladri and Purbayan are doing tremendous disservice to the instrument with their overdriven electrified sound that kills the soul of the instrument. If the sound of the original sitar is a beautiful woman .. then they have made her bald and stuck a moustache to her face.

[@DurantaRangan]

What a Wastage of talent

[@dryatish2102]

Plz go and see his other work u will know what a tremendous service he has given to the instrument

[@nastyasaraswati]

Different music needs different sound. You play the electric guitar, as I see. The adepts of acoustic Spanish music would scold you and all rockers, but Try to play on classical guitar rock or heavy music) so simple as that. Peace & love

[@KhojTheband]

What rubbish. It is totally subjective. There are people like me who love both the original sitaar and the electric sitar sound. Musicians should always keep pushing boundries. Else music will fail to evolve and be relevant. Don't belittle someone's achievements with hollow statements like this.

[@SrikanthIyerTheMariner]

@@KhojTheband Pandit Ravishankar pushed the boundaries by creating ragas like Shyamkalyan and Rasiya ..Ustaad Vilayat Khan pushed the boundaries by massively expanding the sitar Vocabulary using vocal idioms .. sticking in a peizo electric pickup and playing to the peanut gallery is not innovation nor is it pushing musical boundaries.. sorry .
