I agree, she asked stupid, simple questions n had no clue and even no interest in the instrument. Well rather had hate and jealousy for him n the instrument, never praised him never was wowed by it... WHEREAS we wanted to listen to him and the instrument not her stupid next question 🙄🙄🙄

I met Ravi and his daughter Anushka after a show in Tampa, Florida, in 2005. It had been a magical night, the two of them performing together. Ravi's music was a profound inspiration for my spiritual growth at the time, and to this day I feel honored to have had the experience of meeting this great man in this lifetime.
I met him and his family at their home in 2001 or around there; I had no idea who he was, lol, I just went to keep my father company. I just remember things about me, not about him or anyone else, unfortunately.
As a teenager I wanted to learn this instrument but never found a teacher in my town. Many guitar teachers, but almost none know how to play sitar. So ended up learning guitar. At some point of time in future I do look forward to finding the right Guru to teach me this divine instrument. ❤
@jethiya he is not talking about sri sri ravishankar, Harrison from Beatles was like a son to this ravishankar ji and he converted to hinduism as well.
Shankar was instrumental (sorry) in bringing Indian music to Western ears; not just The Beatles but also inspiring Philip Glass to rethink the way music is structured in the Western tradition.
I'm a guitar player and prefer western music but the sitar is a mystical instrument. I've always been fascinated by it. I'm more fascinated by the instrument than the music itself, though I do find the music beautiful.
I remember another interview with him, in which he discussed his annoyance at all the drug affected Western hippies who came to see him after the Beatles much publicised visits. I just remembered being surprised by his frustration.
He deserves that . They should have asked about him about his Different affairs, Why did he left his 1st wife After he got his mentors Guidance to play and established himself as a musician
Please encourage your kids to listen these kind of things and please findout the sources to teach them indian traditional music. our culture... we have to save it 🙏
This is what I love about the west, I can close my eyes and listen to a record from the 60s, and its crystal clear. Almost as if it was recorded in the present!
Mark my word.. I will start learning this instrument before 2030. Right now I'm focusing on Tabla.. it's my dream to play something on this magical instrument...
Legendary Bharat Ratna Pt.Ravi Shanker jee.Koti Naman. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I met him in Varanasi in RIMPA Music Festival in early 90' as I played Tanpura in his prog.with various artists in vocal participated on his music festival.
Who the hell r u TO GIVE DICTATIONS on What should human being should be ? Has this characterless , WOMANISER SLEPT WITH UR MOTHER OR LADIES OF UR FAMILIES
Ravi Shankar shrouded his ordinariness in the cloak of greatness through Beatles and other high-profile friends, who were ignorant of this amazing Indian classical tradition, and that was his real achievement.
nice vid, the interviewer ( whoever she was ) showed real interest. this bloke could play. its interesting how what is now called a "ravi shankar style" sitar is different to what he plays here
Keep in mind that this man once had a promising career as a dancer but decided to spend 7 years learning the sitar and Indian classical music under a very strict teacher.
Note that the sitar has Persian origins - sitar meaning three string tar. Also, the flat bridge that produces the buzz was used on ancient harps. The development of the simple tar into what it became was Indian genius.
I will never forget my uncle telling me the last time he played live and how lucky he was to see him. As soon as the set was over he bashed his Sitar to pieces and the crowed loved it. He has one of the pieces of the neck bone and two frets. Said that dude really mashed.
Someone in the comments said "Sitar is Persian" It has roots in the SETAR (Persian instrument) where the word "Sitar" is derived from the Persian word "Sehtar". But the instrument originated in India 700 years ago and its part of hindusthan music. Sitar is not Persian
@@vipint3694 Yes I am also musician and after reading lots of western Music book, there is mentioning of Origin of music from Indian, like Guitar from Veena. But these are not taught in Classes.

I think not but aye, to each his own.
She didn’t understand the instrument at all and wasn’t interested in it enough to genuinely know more about it
I agree, she asked stupid, simple questions n had no clue and even no interest in the instrument. Well rather had hate and jealousy for him n the instrument, never praised him never was wowed by it... WHEREAS we wanted to listen to him and the instrument not her stupid next question 🙄🙄🙄
True. She didn’t seem interested in music. She was just focused on completing her list of question quickly so interview is done faster.
Its Typical BBC
She's so curious and respectful and in awe at the same time❤❤❤❤❤❤🫡🫡🫡
That is how BBC itself became respected all over the world - not by siding with political ideologies like today.
@@gautamdeusathe CBC in Canada went down the same route. There was a time when their interviews, programs, and documentaries were top notch, now they just push an agenda.
She doesn't look like interested in Music. She is asking her questions. Doesn't look like curious.
Even his sargam sounds like a masterpiece. 💛
His daughter is Norah Jones American Grammy award winner.
The thing to be noticed with the grandeur sitar information is the precision of pt.ravi Shankara in speaking English, very clear.

The most interesting thing about this is how teachers are teaching the instrument it is a very interesting approach.
I only had time to enjoy Mr. Shankar music all my life and today I've had the privilege of him giving his expert explanation of the instrument. Thanks
I have watched this video so many times and still can't get enough.. he will forever be missed.. 😢
The sound of the Sitar always reminds me of George Harrison, on whom Ravi Shankar had a great influence both musically and spiritually.
same here my first thought when i heard this man play was the song within you without you by the beatles
Spiritually? I think you're talking about different person. 😂
Spiritual Ravi Shankar is another man
@jethiya he is not talking about sri sri ravishankar, Harrison from Beatles was like a son to this ravishankar ji and he converted to hinduism as well.
@@shivamparashar6334 Ooo. I found that he was famous in English countries
Harrison butchered the sitar sound. Sounds thin and shitty cos he couldn't play with a round jawari
This is the one instrument I feel like descended from the heavens.
I always felt that way about the harp. 😊
Yes becuase this instrument is used by goodness Sarasvati of songs and knowledge
R.I.P. to music legend Ravi Shankar

My Grandpa knew him he saw him perform once, he told me it was one of the most lively experiences of his life
His diamond is also as fascinating as his music and as per Vedic astrology diamond is best suited for performance artists
That diamond was materialistised for him by a guru named Sai Baba
You can see that he actually only loves his instrument and what he is doing. such a great personality
Truly a Maestro! Like the way he engages the interviewer.
A blessing to see him talk about Sitar.
I can just listen to this for hours and hours.
One of video that I've watched without a single skip 🤩🤩😍
The complexity of this is mind blowing.
You know a master of his craft when you hear him. I believe I first saw him on Ed Sullivan show many years ago.

Whoa, the translation from vocal to instrument is an amazing simple way of teaching and learning.
Right? My high school music director taught us in a similar manner and it helped me learn the flow of music much better
The best thing India has given so far .. love this man ❤
Well the you really don't know india do you. Go see for yourself. Its amazing
bro you are totally unaware about india then there are lots and lots of things in India gave to the world basically number is uncountable
I could listen to him explain this all day long. The master.
This man is a true master. I want to listen to his music now
This is what I love about the west, I can close my eyes and listen to a record from the 60s, and its crystal clear. Almost as if it was recorded in the present!
Инструмент- загадка! Волшебный мир звуков!
Saw him in SF and NYC...Ravi and his crew in person...just close your eyes and its as good as DMT
as a ssc aspirant i came here but i cant explain the classic master piece
I cannot understate how beautiful that sitar is.
thank u ravi ji🙏 your purpose was very great and u succeed very gracefully
Mark my word.. I will start learning this instrument before 2030. Right now I'm focusing on Tabla.. it's my dream to play something on this magical instrument...
Best of luck dude. I also want to learn both tabla and sitar but my financial condition is not letting me right now
It's magical❤️❤️❤️
That has got to be my favorite sound in the world
The way Sir Ravi Shankar ji plays Sitar, the music speaks for his praise... ♥

As a Mexican I am very fascinated by this man’s talent.
Keep in mind that this man once had a promising career as a dancer but decided to spend 7 years learning the sitar and Indian classical music under a very strict teacher.
"we don't play exactly the same way, each time is different....50 to 80-90% is improvised."
The original jam bands.
Heads down for this man
Holy moly. Beautiful resonating harmonic notes. I would be willing to bet those instruments might be useful for levitating. Like the Levites possibly
Brother of uday shankar, Guru of beetles , father of Nora Subhendara shankar Jones, Anushka Shankar
Beautiful!
India - land of music instruments and their origins! Period.
Note that the sitar has Persian origins - sitar meaning three string tar. Also, the flat bridge that produces the buzz was used on ancient harps. The development of the simple tar into what it became was Indian genius.
I will never forget my uncle telling me the last time he played live and how lucky he was to see him. As soon as the set was over he bashed his Sitar to pieces and the crowed loved it. He has one of the pieces of the neck bone and two frets. Said that dude really mashed.
Masterclass 🙏
Every time i listening sitar i have a fear that my soul will leave my body anytime.
Fun fact: Ravi Shankar is Nora Jones father.
His love child ❤
