Accompanied by M. Balamuralikrishna, TN Krishnan & Vikku Vinayakaram

[@Vishu95100]

The person who plays Kanjira was not a foreigner. He was an Indian named G. Harishankar, who left us 9 years ago.

[@astrohari25]

This man has nothing but answers to questions posed by any mridangist at all! A ganjira legend of such ability may have yet to be born after his demise,i'm sure :)

[@Violinmysoul]

🙏🙏🙏 this great maestro was born only to play ganjira. Nobody is yet born to play like him.🙏

[@ragsanoor]

Oh!. Genius...! come back to this Earth Once Again....!

[@sunilap6192]

He is playing ganchira in heaven

[@MaXCKY]

Race is just a phenomena of melanin production, it doesn't matter who's white, brown, black, or tan, if a man picks up an instrument and plays his instrument well, that is all that matters. It is the energy that is nameless, raceless, and ageless, and that is the energy that passes through whoever makes their art audible or visible. If you judge a man based on his race, that says more about you than it does about him.

[@anoninus]

I don't think race is an issue here at all. From what I understand, Harishankar is fully Indian. He was also afflicted by albinism. I am willing to be corrected on this.

[@astrohari25]

0:34....damn....miraculous transition from chatusram to khanda nadai !

[@suhasyogin3890]

Incredible enough to eclipse everyone else on stage, no offence meant! But, this is simply magnificent!

[@loosepayya]

this man is a real genius... i don't think ANYONE can match him, let alone overtake him... there will be only one sun, only moon and only one Hari anna... i'm glad that i heard many of his concerts and i feel very fortunate to have spend time with him... he only inspired me to take up Kanjira as my profession...

[@HareDeLune]

The flowing of a river, the turning of a spiral, the Dance of Shiva...

[@Chakradhar52]

Thunder from heaven!!!!!

[@carlchapman929]

the sound of one hand clapping

[@kamalvipul9213]

Shabash! Pure gold!!!

[@ShaktiSaran]

Kanjira. Harishankar Ji. Amazing. Music.

[@kumaranraven69]

Let be honest here....G. Harishankar is the UKS on Kanjira...the tones he produces in this thani avarthanem is absolutely astronomically phenomenal.

[@srikanths2741]

He is first Harishankar. Please don't compare with anyone.

[@sreenathvijayan7717]

I have never seen another Kanjira maestro on youtube except guru G Ravishankar.

[@89anirudh]

Harishankar not Ravishankar

[@sreenathvijayan7717]

Oops! My Bad.

[@kutzalan]

Check out Selvaganesh kanjira solo

[@MASADHIYA]

@@kutzalan yes indeed but Selva is only 50% of HS since he is too much into so many unimportant things, there is no consistency in his approach and he is engrossed in his own family music ensemble rather than playing for plethora of artists...

[@sulochanansree]

Harishankarji ! You still live in my heart as a Hero for Kanjira.May your soul rest in peace!

[@sprasadv]

Genius ;( What brilliance..why did this man have to die ;(.

[@sucharithrar]

Sir, The phrase tha-dhi-ki-ta-dhom( 5)along with its karvai( karvai means the gap) is played as tha(1).tha ka(2)- tha ki ta(3)- tha ka dhi na(4)- tha dhi kita dhom(5) and immediately tha dhi ki ta dhom(5), 4, 3, 2, 1 tham!!!

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

suja raghu thanks :)

[@astrohari25]

The ultimate mridangam n kanjira artists respectively...wonder how exciting it would be for them to be meeting each other..as much as us or even more possibly?

[@slakshminarasimhan5916]

Excellent ,pranams to kanjira mastero harisankar sir *

[@astrohari25]

In my opinion, both the 1st & 2nd percussionists (mridangam & ganjira)have slightly different roles to play in uplifting the thani...the 1st usually raises the momentum of the thani using very attractive build-up play,sets the kalapramanam, & gives the 2nd percussionist a good(new) dimension to contemplate upon,while the 2nd takes off on that momentum,improvises on that bit of information,& offers yet another dimension to the previous or subsequent performer...a job EXCELLENTLY done here!

[@kiruparasiah9534]

He is a MASTER!

[@ragsanoor]

He was the ultimate.....beyond comparison....

[@omradiocom]

Thanks great maestro. WE miss you.

[@bhadrinathvenkatachar2792]

[@shuvamghosh81]

As if Lord Shiva is creating music in person. The God of percussion.

[@crowkangi]

[@Taalismusic]

harishankar was incredible! we miss him for sure ! i love his deep groove. and hey, can someone please tell me what UKS stands for ? who is that ? would love to check that out too...thanx taalis.

[@srikanths2741]

Umayalpuram K Sivaraman

[@jbaylies]

I knew there was something special about that part, but I know next to nothing of Carnatic music, could you tell me exactly what it is he's doing there?

[@shdwfng]

i'm sorry to say - harishankar's sense of aesthetics far exceeds that of UKS. although i completely agree UKS is a genius, the two should not be equated.

[@MohanRam-hg5md]

ganesh ramanarayanan your 200% right. all the mridangists used to get upset when they comes to know they have to play with harishankar. the mridangists of all range from top level to bottom level would sit in the stage with extreme fear and shivering. he cornered the applause of all the mridangists.

[@thetopface]

no worries, though. today they're synthetic :)

[@NickRalph]

Wow! I dare you to clap along and keep good time...

[@shdwfng]

harishankar's khanda nadai is not that close to what UKS played. extremely well done

[@shaolinskater]

indian. it's a skin condition.

[@srikanths2741]

Mr.Balamuralikrishna should have avoided in saying aah, uuu,eee and all when Khanjira maestro and a divine soul was playing. It's irritating and nuisance to hear voice when Vidhwan G Ravishankar plays. Also the sound from his hand when counting swaras and coughs...Absolutely irritating.
