Pt. Ravi Shankar with Paco de Lucia

[@leonardomcferreira]

How interesting it is that Ravi's daughter, Anoushka, made an album dedicated to the relations between raag and flamenco as well.

[@chintanvarma]

Which album are you referring to?

[@chintanvarma]

Traveller?

[@tonyzarif6124]

What is it called? And does her sister Nora Jones have a roll?

[@MadhumitaGhoshDelhi]

Ustaad Allah Rakha on the tabla and Pt Ravi Shankar on the sitar... absolute ecstasy!

[@nawel1]

Ustaad Allah Rakha was amazing!!

[@jesseherbert2585]

Practically transcends space and time...even the ancestors and gods paused to enjoy this performance. Masterpiece of human achievement

[@1TrueNature]

I never knew Paco De Lucia and Ravi met. Both wonderful players.

[@MarianaRodriguez-gk4om]

It's a remarcable point the fact that a great artist, a great musician, master on his instrument, can have the humbleness to stare, fascinated , the way other artist shows his art. I can't think of many artists being capable of showing admiration with genuine curiosity. A very domesticade ego is needed, obviously.

[@samueljulio9230]

Percussion man is insane amazing

[@magisterialanubis06]

Ustaad Alla Rakha, the father of Ustaad Zakir Hussain

[@AxxonJaxxon666]

Ravi Shankar will be missed but his music lives on. One of my most favorite performances of all time.

[@nawel1]

This must be the most beautiful crossover in the world of music strings. I love flamenco and ragas and this short interview fills me up of joy and graceful. Love both of them.

[@IMCOnAir]

R.I.P. Paco... we music lovers around the globe are still under shock he died on 25th Febr in Mexico by heart attack... what a huge loss.

[@SedanChair]

3:40 That's not even special effects, they're actually flying through the air on that little round stage. Ravi Shankar never needed a tour bus, he just came into your city like that

[@SobersChatterjee]

Return thanks to those who thanked me for the video description. I am trying to answer those who asked few questions. Pandit ji is playing Raga Bhairavi in Drut teentaal. Tabalia is Ud Alla Rakha (father of Ud Zakir Hussain). Flamenco has more resemblance with Rajasthani Gypsy folk songs than Indian Classical music. They sing few basic ragas and use 'khartal' which has resemblance with castanet playing. (Watch the gypsies of Rajasthan video from my channel) Though only the "chalan" of Bhairavi is used in Flamenco but the Rajasthani gypsies use other ragas like Yaman and Khammaj. The scale used in Flamenco is Phrygian Dominant which is not Bhairavi but Basant mukhari (in North india) and Vakulavarnam (in South India). But the ambience is like Bhairavi specially in the Avarohan. Those who want to see them playing together..... Pandit ji is not a fusion musician. He restricted himself to pure Indian classical playing but has composed fusion tracks as well as for Sitar concertos. He only played in one fusion track in his life in Tana Mana called West Eats Meat as per my knowledge.

[@diagreen]

THANKS A MILLION

[@vinayseth1114]

SobersChatterjee he's also collaborated with philip glass.

[@SobersChatterjee]

Vinay Seth Yes, I know about his life and works. I have the album where he worked as a composer, vocalist... he played for a composed part but a lot has been played by his son Shubho too. I meant he didn't jam in fusion concerts except for the project with Menuhin but that is not fusion per se...

[@vinayseth1114]

SobersChatterjee oh ok. thanks for the info.

[@randycalifornia]

+SobersChatterjee Hi, first of all thanks so much for the video and the great great info on it. I'm really interested in flamenco and indian music, and wanted to ask if you could perhaps recommend some sources of info on these matters as i would really like to know a lot more about it. Thanks again!

[@sharowarhossain]

All greats are together. Priceless video.

[@pabloguazzotti2260]

i love all kinds of music, but when choosing instrumentalists/ artists/ culture and tradition bearers I can hardly think of a more accurate pair. Absolute love.

vaya joya!!! y ese Paco hablando en ingles total l!!! los mejores músicos siempre se buscan..

[@pabloperez4063]

[@elioks]

este video es inabarcable, muy emocionante ver a dos musicos tan enormes juntos

[@ericbana191]

Masters at their best. Ravishankar summed it up so beautifully. Those who argue about the similarities should see this video. These are maestros speaking themselves. And of course, Ustad Allah Rakha?

[@SobersChatterjee]

Also they should watch the film Latcho Drom (1993)

[@diamondfb]

Thanks so much for this. I wish they had performed together. But just to see them together talking like this was a sure gem for me. thanks again.

[@SobersChatterjee]

@triofdoom Oh! Yes, of course .... How could I have forgotten this? John McLaughlin was a student of Pt Ravi Shankar and later his association with Paco de Lucia resulted some astonishing guitar projects. P.S. : That was Ustad Alla Rakha (father of Ud. Zakir Hussain).

[@janalkema9320]

[@mariano4068]

[@wiseowl5205]

What an amazing performance!

[@TubeSpoker]

I think the arb music is more close to flamenco da the indian... yet the phrygian dominant is the key that joins all different styles : flamenco + arab + indian . It´s like the DNA essence and from that different moods and styles developed... but the indian music has some really particular things that make it even more complex

[@WilliamAraujoWillweb]

Paco, Shankar e outros poucos são espíritos muito evoluídos, pois muito disciplinados e objetivados naquilo que sabem e amam!

that indina music and flamenco have comon roots is no secret. It is well known that the gypsy ethnic came from india to eurpe in the middle ages, there are documents in spain that certify that. At least in spain in school, that is general knowledge.

[@NoUsernamae]

That's definitely not what that meant. Have you seen him play? Lmao

He enjoys this moment with the look of the musician he is and because flamenco is a captivating music from a melodic and technical point of view

[@chrisdoddridge4678]

Sobers, Many thanks for this I have watched it a few times now. As you know I have a deep love for both music forms. I think your comment about Flamenco being closer to Rajasthani music is correct, even the dancing has close similarities.

Does anyone know the name of the third instrument played by the musician on the left of Ravi? Beautiful music!!

[@ericbana191]

Patricia Santos On the left of Ravishankar, is the late Maestro of a percussion instrument called as Tabla, and to the right I am sorry I dont know the name of the artist, is on Tambura, which provides harmony, provides sustenance to the music, just like a rythm guitar, but in almost trance.

From 5:29 to 5:40 .... classic. Love Paco's guitar playing, the only flamenco player player who was technically and emotionally ahead of him was Andres Segovia. Some much skill and emotion. Respect and it's sad that both of them have passed away...

[@SobersChatterjee]

Andres Segovia was not a flamenco player. Moreover he disliked the new flamenco (but loved the old style). And speaking about techniques..... no body was or is as powerful and beautiful as Paco. (though Grisha is very close)
