zitar sounds maybe too middle and it gets saturated when he plucks the strings more strongly. overall the melodic line is beautiful with the keyboard doing the harmony, fitting well. drums and tabla getting along good also. rhythmic construction is also rich and surprising. The zitar sounds insane with overdrive effect. I remembers his Benares concert in 2010 I was blown away !!! he is like the Steve Vai of Indiana music. ;)
Niladri Kumar with Gino Banks, very cool 😎 👌. I love it, two wonderful musicians together. The electric zitar is perfect with tabla and a drum kit. Gino is the son of the great Louis Banks. Keyboard player, composer; one of the pioneers in jazz and Indian music coming together. To create new vistas in musical possibilities. This is fantastic. Niladri is incredible. Listen and be inspired. Let the zitar take you to heaven; while the drums rhythms keep you rooted in the earth 🌎! All love and gratitude 🙏 beloved ones 🕉
Being a indian "Raghupati Raghav Raja Raam" such a closed to my heart but Niladri Kumar's Zitar really raise a goosebumps and too soothing music.. God blessed you 💐💐
Actually niladri sir always tries to mix western for new result... Its fusion ...somewhere the drummer was not linked with the rhythm thats y it was sounding diff to you otherwise its a nice fusion
The best part I think is when he lures you into a dreamy state and then suddenly throws you into the bhajan "Raghupati Raghav ..". Zitar is the Indian version of Electric Guitar. Even Gino Banks cannot match up with his speed. Our repository is full of gems. We are unaware of them .
@@deegidwani oh yes I wrote that by mistake b coz in taj mahal e baithak he played malhars also , so those two names were running in my mind. Nd yes here he played tilak kamod प नि सा रे ग, रे म, रे ग something like these .
What is the use of this instrument zitar? If u want to play classical sitar is best and if u want to play light songs guitar is there. So why a zitar is used?
wow..amazing music jee. the Zitar's sound resembles very much to Mandolin..No??? if wrong correct me... Niladri ji is marvellous. so is Pt Vijay Ghate ji's Tabla and Gino Banks,,,.thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Sorry - the Zitar doesn't produce the same sound as a sitar, don't care for it, it's a turnoff. This fusion concept doesn't work. Have heard him play a regular sitar & he is good at it.
Is it just me or is he really playing the Top Gun theme at the beginning... Cool 👌🏽 such a treat. The drummer is having a great time.
Absolutely right bro! Top Gun it was!!! Unmistakably
Absolutely . He's playing g top gun in th beginning of performance. Your guess is correct 100%🎂
Ya absolutely
Niladari Kumar is just fantastic. He n his Zitar go along very well! No comparison whatsoever!

"fusion equals confusion" Vilayat Khan.
Would sound better without drums
Conservative people just can't take fusion music. Booo... Go get better ears.
Actually niladri sir always tries to mix western for new result... Its fusion ...somewhere the drummer was not linked with the rhythm thats y it was sounding diff to you otherwise its a nice fusion

Was a very relaxing performance . Nd it seems same as you played in "E baithak" with Madhuri Dixit ji. Simply fantastic. Always a maestro.
This is Tilak Kamod ma'am. Nowhere close to any of the malhars 🙏

Marvelous........... Beautiful

This sitar tone is very different from regular sitar.... Sounds like veena

nisha kamath not mandolin but a clean/semi distorted electric guitar
If you say this sounds like mandolin then you have probably never heard what a mandolin sounds like. It more sounds like a electric lap guitar
You are all talking to the Divine !!! Thanks for sharing this conversation 😜❤🙏🙏🙏
You are the magic Beta Lal, we always proud and proud of you.
Theme from top gun at start.?????????
wayne davies yes ...
I feel it's the same
