Niladri Kumar | Sitar | Instrumental Music | Rhythm & words | God Gifted Cameras

#NiladriKumar #SitarPlayer #IndianClassicalMusic
Pandit Niladri Kumar is an #Indiansitarplayer and #musiccomposer. He was born to sitar player Kartick Kumar, a disciple of #RaviShankar. He started learning sitar under his father at the age of four. Kumar gave his first public performance at the age of six at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. He was a part of the Masters of the Percussion tour alongside #ZakirHussain. Kumar has also worked with Jonas Hellborg and V. Selvaganesh on their album Kali's Son and with John McLaughlin on album #FloatingPoint. Kumar has also worked with various music directors in Hindi cinema, including #A.R.Rahman, #Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and #Pritam. #Niladri was conferred the Sangeet Natak Akademi's Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar, awarded to young musicians, in March 2007. Niladri has also won #MTVImmies award for the Best Classical/Fusion Instrumental for his album #If.
Kumar has created an instrument, the "zitar", which is a combination of #sitar and #guitar. The concept initiated from a traveling sitar, which was modified by Kumar to create rock guitar sound out of it. Kumar reduced the number of strings on the instrument from 20 to five. He also added an electric pickup inside the instrument so that it would sound more like a guitar. His first full album composed using the instrument, titled #Zitar, was released in 2008. Kumar wrote the first track for the album #Priority in 2003. Over the next five years he improved the track and subsequent track by gauging audience reaction during live performances. He improvised the tracks adding components from various genres such as rock, electronic and lounge. He also won the MN Mathur Award in the 51st Maharana Kumbha Sangeet Samaroh for his contribution to #Indianclassicalmusic in March, 2013.
For all our music lovers #GodGiftedCamera present playing #Sitar by #NiladriKumar with his Band.
