Music is said to be the bridge connecting oneself to the supreme self.The songs appeal to the cognitive part with the thought provoking lyrics and the music along with the voice which render it soothes senses.Being a music lover who enjoys all genres ,I still had apprehensions about my ability to enjoy instrumental music until I heared two greatest artists who literally took my breath away.Pandit Shivkumar sharma and Ustad Zakir Hussain are one of the most popular pair in Hindustani Jugalbandi.The stream like sweetness of the Santoor when joins the storm of Zakir's Tabla create an out of the world experience.In the end Zakir performed such unbelievable strokes as if he unleashed the power of all elements into the concert hall.
It was amazing to see such greats with so much of humility and abundance of talent.They truly represented the secular India.
Jai ho
let there be light
the music still resonates in me maam..but on a lighter note,this is not the musicians were wearing at our concert.. i vividly remember the Pandit is in a bright pink dress and the ustad in a good green one..lol..
ReplyDeleteNothing like listening to the echo of the fast moving fingers of Ustad Zakir.
