Pandit Samta Prasad Tabla Solo Teental

[@SHANKISARGAM]

While he was popular as Godai (or Gudai) Maharaj, his real name was Pandit Shamta Prasad. I had the great privilege and good fortune of spending a lot of time with him during my childhood in Patna as Panditji used to teach my elder brother. He was, during his hey days, one of the most popular Tabla players in India and people were crazy about him in states like Bihar. The forte of his playing was his amazing sound production which was mesmerizing. Whatever he played, the bol came out with great depth and volume. His tabla used to sound stereophonic in the days of mono players and poor acoustics. I have so many fond memories associated with this great man which is not possible to write here. Thanks a lot past594 for posting this rare video. Banaras has given us so many great musicians, especially Tabla maestros. Pandit Shamta Prasad was one of them. My homage

This is one of the most sweetest and fulfilling tabla performances ever. Tonal quality at its best, sharp banaras kinaar and a deepest dhaa, this is just perfect.

Thanks to the gentle man for uploading this video, listened the Tabla of Great PT Anokhe lal ji and found the playing style and tonal sound also same, , I met him and got blessings from Tabla maestro Pt.Gudai maharaj in Haridas sangit sammelan at Vrindaban perhaps in1988, he and Pt pagaldas played tabla Pakhawaj Duet, One of his disciple Sri Raj kumar majumdar of Delhi was also with him , I have maintained contact like friend.

I feel fortunate to see him performing..Thanks for posting this rare clip whereever he is performing is no consequence to what he is performing..

[@divinemusic7508]

Wahh Pt.Kishan Maharaj ji is also sitting in between♥️🙏🏻

[@bethells86]

he was way ahead of his time, many famous Tabla players of today play his creations and try to play his style.

[@Bharatkhand77]

Zakir Hussain is one of them

[@sabch1752]

looks like maharaj was in a great mood.. pranam 🙏🙏

[@Sundar333]

Thank you very much! This is Golden Recording :)

[@tablasolo]

I was told it was at the godlen temple, but now that you bring it up, I think ur right! Thanks for the heads up!!! Good catch

[@bhilaj]

Shame about the sound quality but its great to have some evidence of this great player on youtube. Its appropriate this is at the Golden Temple as he is the master of the Golden "NA" He brought a new and exciting sound to the art of Tabla.

[@r8rdarklord]

@r8rdarklord Unless you are saying that Dhrupad-Dhamar is similiar to Carnatic style of singing. There are similarities but there are also major differences.

[@mukundkumar946]

Pls upload his full video

[@muppet2k7]

near the end of the clip, i love the way he plays fast so effortlessly, its incredible, just a question about Pinky ji, did he learn from Samta Prasad as well as Kishan Maharaj?

[@Bharatkhand77]

Zakir Hussain also learned from Him

[@ravi18tripathi]

@penta15786 Its Pandit Samta Prasad Mishra.

[@khalipon]

I don't know....there is golden temple in vanaras too. Also there are many live halls around there..

[@SHANKISARGAM]

Pls note it's Samta Prasad and not Shamta Prasad as I had mentioned earlier. Sorry for the mistake.

[@KumarTabla]

@76harap76 I believe you are indeed correct. I see them as well.

[@pyaragrewal8439]

+past594 this is not Amritsar. This video was taken in Sri Bhaini Sahib

[@penta15786]

I have some LP that spell his name as Pandit Shanta Prasad. Is his name Pandit Samta Prasad or Pandit Shanta Prasad. Could someone clear this misunderstanding.

[@rsj6200]

I was of the understanding that Samta Prasad was a his honorofic name, his real name was Gudai Maharaj.

[@channibhai]

Sat Sri AKAL ji. Can U please mail me this recording?

[@BanarsiPaan120]

gudaii Maharaj improved alot of his technics with guidence of Pt Anokhelal Mishra Ji from Benares. History doesn`t mention this... Infact these tabla players where are children @ the time and they where inspired by The tabla samrat Pt Anokhelal Mishra.

[@r8rdarklord]

@sonofthedestroyer So please tell us, what were the North Indians doing before the Mughals came. We are all years unless you believe that classical music didn't exist in North India before the Mughals.

[@robincenavy]

even sound is not clear at all..

[@panduseetahal]

Sonofdestroyer, most of your posts in any clip with excellent music are derogatory in some way. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

[@akashdeepsinghbilkhu3855]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ6UanSQe52KgLs the clear version if anyone was looking for it

[@VinodKumar-xo9lx]

Gudai maharaj ka jawab nahi!

[@r8rdarklord]

@sonofthedestroyer This is just theory there is no evidence of all this. If you think this is true then why do our scriptures refer to fair skinned people unless you think it's a figment of there imagination. The fact is the Dhrupad-Dhamar style of singing pre-dates Mughal or for that matter any invasion. Why, because of compositions, constructions and structure of Alaap. Most big gharana Ustads can trace their lineage back to there fore-fathers, who were originally hindus.

sonofthedestroyer,don't u think u r speaking too much.apani aukad main reh sale......samta prasadji ke bareme kehane ke bareme kam se kam 10 bar soch.....
