Learn more about the music:
Malhar is a classical raga. Malhar is associated with torrential rains. Besides the basic Shuddha Malhar, which was the original Malhar, several Malhar-related ragas use the Malhar signature phrase m (m)R (m)R P, including Miyan ki Malhar, Megh Malhar, Ramdasi Malhar, Gaud Malhar, Sur Malhar, Desh Malhar, Nat Malhar, Dhulia Malhar and Meera ki Malhar.
According to legend, Malhar is so powerful that when sung, it can induce rainfall. Many written accounts describe Raga Malhar. Tansen, Baiju Bawra, Baba Ramdas, Nayak Charju, Miyan Bakhshu, Tantarang, Tantras Khan, Bilas Khan (grandson of Tansen), Hammer Sen, Surat Sen, and Meera Bai are among the singers who are said to have been capable of starting rains using various kinds of Raga Malhar.
Mughal emperor Akbar once asked his court musician Tansen to sing Raga Deepak, the raga of light, which caused all the lamps in the courtyard to light up and Tansen's body to become so hot that he had to sit in the nearby river to cool himself. However, the river began to boil, and it became apparent that Tansen would soon boil to death. He set out on a search to find someone who could sing Raga Malhar to cure him. In due course, he reached Vadnagar, in Gujarat, where he found two sisters, Tana and Riri, whom he asked for help. They agreed to sing. When they sang the Raga, rains came down in torrents, which cooled Tansen's body immediately.
Musicians:
Roopa Panesar (sitar)
Shahbaz Hussain (tabla)
Gunwant Kaur (tanpura)

the drut gat was created by ustad amir khan sahab for the sarodiyas of sahajahanpur gharana... but it has very well been performed here.... kyaa baat hai

[@hmahmood81]

Thank you for sharing. I would not have known it otherwise!

[@manojkale9733]

This performance very very much resembles the style of Vilayat Khan sahib. Every stroke played was mes​mer​iz​ing.

[@Hrids99]

Sitar and Veena are the two instruments that must have been smuggled from the heaven itself. The sound and beauty is surreal.

[@catius9206]

That's true, Rudra veena is the origin of every stringed instrument in the world both directly and indirectly.

[@teerthbhatt911]

Agreed!! ❤️

[@harshmasram_]

Tanpura as well .

[@jfdb59]

@@catius9206 Did you just make that up because you like it? Lovely as Rudra Veena is, that is not even close to correct. Rudra Veena was developed in the 15th century. The oldest known stringed instruments are the Lyres of Ur dating back 4500 years. This took five minutes of research...facts: check em.

[@yashmehta5873]

Beautiful... Roopa Ji has treated Miyan Malhar very authentically and kept it simple, no gimmicks.. Very mature accompaniment by Shahbaz bhai..

This full performance was just incredible. Paying for a full membership was one of the best uses of my money that I can think of and has enriched my life. The fact that we get performances once reserved for royalty... for 10 bucks a month is a no brainer.

[@asifahmadshah1944]

I live in Leicester UK for last fifty years. I swear by All Mighty Allah that I have never heard in my entire life any body playing more beautifully than this lady. She is no doubt a Princess of playing this instrument. May Allah give her a very long life and very good health to keep playing this very instrument. Bless her with best wishes......Asif Shah

The only music, and I repeat, the only music in the world that has the power to uplift the mind to higher consciousness, probably even to the state of samadhi is bhartiy shastriy sangit.

[@aeoteroa818]

i am strangely drawn to indian music history and culture, hinduism had also impacted me more than any other spiritual practice. i may have lived past lives in india. i can feel this music in my heart, these songs are almost alive and if you listen they will speak to you.

[@Masoud-Mirmirani]

Is there any book to explain theory of Indian music in detail ?! In english ?

[@MuhammadKhan-vm5ow]

@@catius9206 yes here is the recording - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooSck56rrM6ihKs he definitely plays it better but that is expected I guess, there is a motif which roopa plays in this video which is almost identical to what Ustad Vilayat khan describes as his grandfathers composition, he says 'Dada ka ang' which I think mean grandfathers song? there is also another melody which he sings in the recording and roopa plays it at 4:38. She's from the same gharana I think. the ni sa re sa composition is heavily played in ustad ji's recording.
