Beautifull!! I am from LUCKNOW, will you please provide me contact of you sitar Guru, i am soo much motivated now to make these heart piercing melodies myself.
Hi Agni. Thanks for your question. It's a good one. Darbari is saved for later years in formal instruction at Bhaathkhande where I studied. However, I would not say I was any more ready for it in 4th and 5th years, than I was in 2nd year. When it comes to most raags, many of us will be beginners for life! We start from where we are, and then move forward from there in our understanding, growing all the time. A humble attitude towards learning, and an eagerness to learn is really all that is required.
I see that you sir have already made possible what most of the people would say impossible. Despite being a non native it is very difficult to reach where you are. And I know that one can only make it possible through love and nothing else.@@SitarToronto
Nice recitation done on sitar, as this raag itself is so melodious, perfect vilambit practiced..
2:10 Raga Darbari starts
Where can you find good quality instruments to learn on, specifically tanpura and sitar???
