Karnatic music is deep as ocean, Hindustani is wide as sky. Ancient India was truly devine.

Its 2020 and I can confirm people are still listening to this

WHO WATCH IN 2024

Nobody is talking about the Violinist Sri. Kanyakumari Amma, she is arguably one of the greatest Violinist...

Om my God, I have never seen anything like this in my entire life, We Afghans are so unlucky throughout everything in our lives. Lots of love from Kabul Afghanistan to India and Indians. ❤❤❤

Kadri Gopalnath [ the saxophonist for those who don’t know him] died today = October 11, 2019. This performance can be a tribute... Who agrees with me??

I've always liked Indian music but over the past 6 months I'm LOVING IT.

This is not simply a hard work........this is Divine....without permission of Maa Adi Shakti nobody can do this...

B Harikumar fans from kerala ❤️hit👍💖

The man playing mrudangam resembled a lion.. his music roared 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

Allah Allah Hey Raam Meri pavitra sar zameen e hindu staan .adhyatm vishva ki pehli university mera Bharat ..Ruh khush hogayi 🙏🙏

I'm French and an Indian Music lover from my early teens. I have discovered this video a few days ago and I am so fascinated that I keep on watching it. Thanks for this fantastic video, I sincerely thank you and will inquire about Shri Rajendra Nakod .

I just was two people communicating in language of music. I feel proud of my country.

This isn't just talent. This is simply a fraction of God's light, shining right through them. I am crying tears of joy & ecstasy. Raju Alagawadi, I cannot thank you enough for posting this footage of their divine performance. God bless.

The husband (mridangist) started with a strong point.....The wife(tabla player) had a more sarcastic reply....When she thought she was winning over, the husband came on with more bang....And so she had to lay her points stronger....Rhythm of life...They argue argue, gel and argue, argue and gel....And then argue in unison, but never out of boundaries (the tala) and arrive at a settlement (arudhi) and hence born the bliss of love and joy (saxophone).....Music and rhythm.....Nature and god...ultimate

Divine performance that... Mridangam player - SHIVA - Aggressive...Breathtaking...Brilliant... Tabla Player - PARVATI - Sublime...Poetic...Beautiful... Together... they were Ardhanareeshwara...

Lord Shiva must be very happy listening to this 😊

This is what a performance be like.. kids nowadays pay thousands of dollars to watch Dj Standing and Spinning DIsc with recorded music on! I wish they can admire and appriciate this sort of music more :(

The way they honor each other is incredible

The mrindingam player Shri B. harikumar looks like Avtar of shiva presenting Tandav from his fingers on mridingam... What a splendid n divine performance

I'm in shock! They are touched by God's hands! Superb!

Just imagine the amount of practice to achieve this level of skill

I appreciate the tabla player, because it is difficult to compete with the louder and hi powered Mirdangam . The choice instrument of Lord Shiva Nataraja .

I’m here because my student showed me his mridangam. I am thinking I will learn it or maybe tabla. The players have so much skill and spirit. I actually shed a tear at the power of their performance.

what is this madness - I'm intoxicated - such power and control - hands of magic and percussion. Love & greetings from USA :)

These guys are pure mathematians. The guy playing tabla in fibonacci series. Wow!

Comments such as "anyone watching in..." is irrelevant. This will be watched and heard and will keep mesmerizing till eternity!

September 2020, who is here with me... Still awesome, set it on my playlist years ago!

Master piece......watching 68th time. Love from Pakistan

They have got music in their blood from their ancestors. Amazing... suuuppeerrbb. Love from Pakistan

എന്നെങ്കിലും ഒരിക്കൽ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഒരു മലയാളി ഈ വീഡിയോ കാണാൻ ഇടയായാൽ അറിയുക ഇടത് ഭാഗത്ത് ഇരുന്ന് മൃദംഗത്തിൽ മായാജാലം തീർക്കുന്ന മുടിനീട്ടിവളർത്തിയ അദ്ദേഹം ചങ്ങനാശ്ശേരിക്കാരനായ ഒരു മലയാളി ആണ്‌. ഹരി കുമാർ എന്നാണ് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പേര്.

Only few Real Music lovers can understand the depth of this...Sangeet

I feel so fortunate to have witnessed this extravaganza live! May his soul be one with maa saraswati now . Om Shanthi Kadri Gopalnath!

I have a mridangam that neglected for 14 yrs . Now its Resurrected i going to play after 14yrs this video make me play it again.

100000 % fast&powerfull music. India is the mother land of clasical music🙏🙏. Megestic perfomence

I am so overcome with joy after listening to this heavenly music that I fall short of words to praise this kind of music. But, I can say that, there is no music like Hinduastani music.

Sitting in the audience and experiencing this magic would be so heavenly. Amazing talent.

all 3 of them are guru's (masters of their respective instruments) but for me, the guy with long hair (Hari Kumar) stole the show! His energy-intensity ! ohh god, in deed it felt like Lord Shiva was playing his damru through him. Out of this world. This cannot be described in words.

Absolute madness. Shri Harikumar roars like a lion. And roars in style. What passion! What dedication and speed.. I am blown away.. Nakod is no less. Nothing excited me more than this 14:06 minutes of pure Bliss. I humbly bow down to Karnatic music and Indian classical music! Condolences to fans of Kadri Gopalnath.

Can hardly believe my ears...that such immense talent actually exists. Stuff of legends!

Undoubtedly both Tabla and Murdangam player is extreme performer but Mridangam player Shri B. Hari kumar have some god level talents.

If they slap someone with those hands, cartoon birds will fly around the head.

Respected Shri.Kadri Gopalnath never dies, he lives in his music.

This Proves - when Music follows 1000s of years old tradition, it can be a Spiritual experience. Further, when this kind of music is dedicated to God, it could also carry the listeners on to spiritual platform. 👏🏻🙏👏🏻Om Paramatmane Namaha🌹

I think this is the level where no one can reach , RESPECT

Mathematics and Percussion has some direct relation. That could be the reason why Indian Percussionites are highly regarded and the finest in the world Excellent.

After waiting for 13 mins. He stole the show in just few minutes. Genius!

RIP Kadri, music has become so much poorer here with you called back home.

At any moment, Lord Shiva may appear and starts Tandava Nrutya! I had this feeling while watching!

Who gonna watch it in 2019,2020,2021...........

Harichettan, the thunder, yet the NAADAM, it melted everyone's soul ❤

Seems like they are having conversations through tabla and mridanga 😅 Challenging and supporting each other at same time ! What a spirit ❣️🙌

they are talking to each other in music...!!! can this be more awesome..!?? I m in heaven literally...!!!!!! OMG if anyone could see my face right now, then u would know what "facemelter" meant...!!! this is God level performance...!!!!

The tabla player has magic fingers...and he is hardly even moving while playing this incredible beat...

WoW !! I just learned of Konnakol and then saw this... Quite Simply Breathtaking, Fascinating Music that has so much spirit and intellect woven in as one thing ... well I'm speechless

Masters of Aliens. The moment saxophone started playing - I thought Aliens about to take a grand entry.

That was just amazing. Love and respect from Afghanistan.

Match less...out of this materials world...pure soul...

My God, that was beyond belief. ♥️🤙🙏✌

Saxophone enters,,, and you are enlightened 😍

Hurricane.. I see Lord Shiva dancing💪🏽

Can't say if i liked it or not, but i need a 24 hours version of this ASAP on YT.

How much ever I salute these musicians is not sufficient. God bless them with eternity to keep the music alive.

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, i get reminded of this masterpiece 🙏🏻❤️ Happy New Year 2023... January 1st. The energy flows from their hands to the ears 👏👏👏👏

They converse with their instruments so fluently, fluidly. Man my country has the best from God. Wish the populace appreciates such divine things than politics and movies!

Who is here after Kadri's sad demise..

Another reason to Love Indian classical performance. Because it's a place where I can see no hate.. Only love and respect from the viewers... ❤️

I'm still watching this, every couple weeks after 2 years. That mridangam is among the greatest I've ever heard.

wow! am absolutely speechless. how on earth could they perform that??? amazing! felt very proud to be an indian ...

Thank you. As soon as I shed this American skin I wear now I'm coming HOME to Mother Ganges!!!!!!!

I will live the rest of my life, watching this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching in Vancouver B.C.Canada during pandemic! Thanks for the 🎵 music!

I really enjoy the energy that it transmit!! regards from Venezuela

amazing .. respect from Morocco

It's nothing but mesmorisation of the listners with only one instrument, that is greatness of South Indian culture, thanks

I watched this video many times and I will watch it even many times.

That is the longest duration for which I had sustained Goosebumps

Looking at KZfaq thumbnail : An Indian percussion video with 6 Million views??? 🧐 One has got to find out what this is about! 0:30 sec into the video: 14min?? Well that's long. Let's see how far we get into the video. At 1:10 mins : My God!! Changanassery B Harikumar's fingers must be made of.. steel, maybe? What speed and yet such clarity! 2:30 mins : Concern for Shri Harikumar's neck crosses the mind. Sprain much? 3:35 mins : Things start to heat up with the tabla. Catch Padmashree Dr Gopalnath Kadri's attention jerk, to catch the motif 4:11 mins : Shri Kadri grins at the twist of the patterns and power modulation 4:16 mins : Pandit Rajendra Nakod's speed relay begins 5:00 mins : Goodness Gracious! That speed for that long with a single hand.. 5:13 mins : If we thought it was heated up till here, start noticing the knowing grins and camaraderie between Shri Harikumar, Dr Kadri, & the Pandit; as Pt Nakod turns up the heat 5:35 mins : It makes one smile to watch Shri Harikumar genuinely delight and enjoy in Pt Nakod's playing 6:00 mins : Shri Kadri's forehead creases up in pressure in sync with the tabla's pressure-increasing sprint 6:18 mins : Grins all around at the magic again! 6:47 mins : That finish and those hand raises!! Whistle-worthy indeed 7:05 mins : The man has barely had a few seconds to catch his breath, and is back again gamely answering the volley thrown by Shri Harikumar, who knows not what simple is 7:25 mins : Educational pointer - Watch Pt Nakod take keen note of Shri Kadri's thaalam - a foreign time-keeping technique for Hindustani musicians. 7:44 mins : Dr Kadri's limbs can't help but participate in the action. They bob and gyrate. 8:27 mins : The phrase that fades out to perfection 8:29 mins : Fun grooves segment begins 9:15 mins : Q&A 10:40 mins : Waves 10:48 mins : Catch the sign that Shri Harikumar gives Pt Nakod to trigger the high tide 11:00 mins : Wah wah wah! If my jaws were dropping wide open earlier, they now have nowhere further to drop 11:30 mins : More grins among the musicians in that pure, unadulterated joy of that music 12:00 mins : Interestingly fresh take on the classic Adi thala mohra with Pt Nakod's single-hand finishes 12:45 mins : The river of percussion music that flows must surely only be Saraswati 13:20 mins : Grins on my face cannot be wiped off as this magnificent climax arises ---- Wah wah wah!! Where did that 14mins go? What was this magic that unfolded!! It is midnight and I am too energized, inspired, and wide awake to wind up after this. In an age of digital validation, this concert must have been just another day.. and just another concert for these stalwarts. One doubts if they foresaw 6 million views, or that it was even going to be posted on KZfaq when they created this piece of art. Creating class acts everyday is truly aspirational and so.. so.. humbling! (SEE MORE AT: facebook.com/carnaticalifornia/posts/2349965001906914)

I listen to it before studying or anything that needs energy and focus and it helps me ...the way he turns his hair seeing that enthusiastic m amazed

Mridangam is the father of all drums ❤️

Absolutely divine.. 5 fingers each taking you from 20 Hz to 20 KHz

One slap from those hands one can see the whole cosmos

It's beyond my understanding how Shri Rajendra Nakod knew when to pace up to sync... Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩

I came across performance by chance as I was sampling current music in raag fusion. The performance of ghatam is exquisite, a gem, inspiring. Those not familiar with the artistry and virtuosity of the South Asian classical genres and their many late modern fusion take-offs may have even found the performance mind-boggling. I just thrilled. Only after watching and reading the comments that I learned that the great Dr. Gopal had died. Am shocked. I watched him live many years ago in Colombo and was impressed not only by the virtuosity and the tonal bouquetm but also by the orchestration. Sad.

birth place of music, Indian traditional music which can even cure disease... Indian music , culture & tradition are most beautiful.. love India. proud to be indian

Amazing....what artists yaar...instead of honoring these ppl we have a corrupt system of selling Padmashri to bandicoots

I have watched this video hundred times. Can’t stop myself. Shri B Hari Kumar is incredible!! His expressions and playing skill is mind blowing

O my lord, this is called the extraordinary talent. who's ever saw this live 🙏

Excellent sound, beautiful, Namaste and Shuukliyah !

anyone watching this masterpiece in 2018 ?

It is nice to see Hari Kumar from Kerala on extreme left on Mridangam

06:43 master piece Indian music 🙆🙆🙆👌👌👌👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥👍👍

Proud to be Mridangist❤️❤️

This is the Death Metal Drumming of Hindi music! Absolute Madness..... Love it!

And thus the lord rudra finishes his dance... Breathtaking 🙏

They all are speaking with their excellence in music....

this music is evergreen. listen to it 100 later, still beautiful. modern music crap.

14 minutes of joy ! It was like Mridhangam vs tabla T20 match... Music won! sheer brilliance. Hats off.

Great jugalbandi and what a perfect ending!! "Was" never a fan of saxophone, boy this changed everything.

Whole body is electrified .... Tears from eyes ... Intoxicated feelings.. rigourously moving head with the Suras .. what's going on with me!!!
