Sitarist Niladri Kumar plays Mishra Bhairavi, named for the goddess of destruction, replete with chromaticism, double-stops, and extraordinary string bends.
Learn more about the music
Niladri Kumar is known for his expansive modern sitar style, stretching the boundaries of classical music. Trained under his father, a disciple of Ravi Shankar, he was recognised as a prodigy. He has since developed an extraordinary technical command of his instrument, complete with dextrous double stops, whispering string bends, and rapid taans [fast improvised lines]. He makes forays into film composition and is the inventor of the ‘zitar’ - a curious hybrid of electric guitar and sitar. Today he tours extensively with Zakir Hussain’s groups as well as a solo artist.
“In Harry Potter, there’s a wand choosing scene where the wand and its user need to have a connect. The sitar too broadly works in a similar style. Only after the instrument and the artiste warm up to each other, the musical spark begins and the magic starts to flow.” (Niladri Kumar)
Bhairavi is often described as the ‘queen of rāgas’. It takes its name from the Hindu goddess of destruction, and conjures versatile moods. To some it can evoke ‘awe, terror, and chaos’; to others ‘a pleasant sobering atmosphere of love and piety’. It is played at sunrise, or alternatively as the final piece in a concert. Understanding the raga in depth is crucial to Hindustani learning - bansuri master Rupak Kulkarni recounts the approach of his guru Hariprasad Chaurasia: “Guruji taught me Raag Bhairavi for five years. When I complained about the repetition, he said: ‘You have to practice Bhairavi until your last breath’. That is what made me realize what swarabhyas [the study of notes] means”.
It is based on the form SrgmPdnS - all swaras [notes] are komal [flattened] except Sa, Ma, and Pa, like the Western Phrygian scale or Carnatic Raga Hanumatodi. The vadi and samvadi [king and queen notes] are typically taken to be Ma and Sa. The raga commonly takes a versatile mishra (‘mixed’) form - all 12 notes are allowed, thus injecting some comparatively rare chromaticism into Hindustani music. Its flexibility is unmatched in the raga pantheon.
Recorded for Darbar on 21 Sep 2014, at London’s Southbank Centre

If a few brief minutes of Niladri aren't enough…watch his full 65-minute performance of Raag Bhimpalasi in pristine HD on the Darbar Player, along with dozens of other captivating concerts: www.darbarplayer.com/videos/nildari-kumar-pandit-shubhankar-banerjee-raag-bhimpalasi We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.
And much better than coffee 👌
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
When my one month old baby cries, I play this. And more often than not, she stops crying and starts enjoying this marvelous piece. Thanks to Niladri Kumar and Darbar.

Please give a link of full Bhimpalas
Feels bad ..when This Indian legends appreciated in Foreign countries ...while fellow Indians busy with Tseries ....Remixes ...neha kakkar ...dhinchak pooja ...etc ...Sad but true 🥺😖
Very true
Sad but True.....Sad that these Gems are not given importance in India!
Absolutely
Don't be sad brother.only those people can appreciate who knows about music or can feel music.. that's why we are here not they are ☺️
Creative playing with surbahar timber quality,presentation of chord harmony hidden in our each & every scale of the particular raag make this talented artist unique.this definately draw the young geners.
So subtle, mysterious, each note like a precious gem
Jonathan Hollander trust me this is india ...you'll get thousands of such mysterical performance here
Sitar is also indian musical instrument
RIP pandit Subhankar Banerjee..............I still can't believe that he is no more 😭🙏
Dear Akash Pait, Indeed, this is very sad news and we don't have words to express our grief. This is a great loss to the world of music. He was a blessed person and also a master of his art - his music has lit up our world for decades and we will all miss him very much. We thank you for visiting and put forward our collective prayers to the departed soul of Pandit Banerjee. May his soul rest in peace.
Biggest loss for us
to all arguing over the variation of bhairavi: bhairavi allows artist to experiment, to add notes, and to play any 'mishr' version of it. This is the reason why there are so many variants of bhairavi which have existed as long as we can remember. Niladri did a fine job. +1.
Bhairavi is a chromatic scale. You can use all 12 notes wisely. This composition is close to sindhu Bhairavi
It was ustad Inayat Khan who started this....he was the one who claimed that the restrictions of raags should be broken so as to increase the melody of the compositiins....he was the one who used the varjit swars in compositions soo accurately that it rather increased the preciousness of that raag

@@shadebengali2546 I can't understand
niladri ji achieved that much perfection not in just few years, he is practicing sitar since he was 4 years old....hats off!!!!
heard 9 times in a row, every time it brings me to another world
Niladri, you make many of us proud to be Indians. Ignore the Puritan Indians who are always complaining about "original." Nothing wrong with a little variation of your own. This raag is beautifully rendered!!! Tabla player is amazing!!
He didn't even break a single rule bro...dont worry
"main khayal hu kisi aur ka" by Mehdi hassan ,starts with a gentle touch of bhairabi, aaah that's all my ears want .. These ragas are truly divine ...❤️❤️

Heard it 4 times in a row... Still can't get enough. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Jazz is Indian. The West thinks improvisation over a structure is something invented in the 1900s?? Lol, Indians have been "jazzing" since forever. (+Jazz hands+)
Those bends are pure bliss. Executing a bend and sustaining the note, for a desired effect, is not as easy as it looks.
Main hoo khayal kisi aur ka - on Sitar Very nice feel given to this legendary ghazal
The best of his generation. Niladri Kumar ❤️
Subhankar sir... Rest in peace... Indian classical music will always remember you... Can't believe that you are no more.. RIP💔💔🙏
We will all miss him very much. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
those string bends are absolutely brilliant... gives goosebumps .... I am a guitar player and i want to start learning the sitar and this video is the perfect inspiration for me

Today morning I was at The Dover Lane Music Conference's 65th Edition. This guy rocked everyone off their seats with his grandfather's Surbahar which is 150 years old. For us stupid Indians that would be more valuable than a Stradivarius violin as no can make it like they did this one. He played a number called "Pari" about fairies descending from heaven sung in marriage festivals in his grandmother's time and composed by her. Guys you have to be in Calcutta to hear Pari ( fairies in the English language) descending from up above and listen when this future Ustad is in the right place the right time and the right ambience.
Deborshi Ghosh Wow! You are really lucky to witness that Sir! I hope he does that sometime in Mumbai as well.
Thanks for sharing , I was there too, loved the Darbari at 12 midnight on the Sur Bahar..it was heavenly
Lovely heart stirring music! Thank you so much sir.
That was not Niladri Kumar at the 65th DLMC. That was Irshad Khan- son of Ustad Imrat Khan and nephew of Ustad Vilayet Khan. As far I can remember he played darbar kanada and then behag.
Really appreciable, and I adore/ respect the famous Dover Lane concert, but what's up with the name calling other styles of music or musical instruments? I like both, western or Indian classical, depends on my mood and taste. No one should be blamed for their likes.
Music of Gods. Niladri Kumar you are simply Superb......

Wow just wow ! The beautiful trance inducing sound of Indo-Pak music culture ! If you are not moved deep within something is missing inside of you !
Excellent performance feel it with your heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! I can recall when you played the same in Bhopal No matter how many times, I listen it feels the same.
Nice fusion. Mix of sitar and guitar sound. Each note is soft and clear. We live in a constant state of evolution and so also music "Parivartan prakruti ka neeyam hai"
You said it correctly.. just one spelling mistake.. its prakriti, not prakruti..
Yeah, the bar chord thing he did was amazing
Pandit Subhankar Banerjee has passed away yesterday due to Covid-19 pandemic. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏
Dear Debasish Ray, Indeed, this is very sad news and we don't have words to express our grief. This is a great loss to the world of music. He was a blessed person and also a master of his art - his music has lit up our world for decades and we will all miss him very much. We thank you for visiting and put forward our collective prayers to the departed soul of Pandit Banerjee. May his soul rest in peace.

Harika, müziğin evrensel olduğunun resmen belgesi
This is very hard to imagine that Pt. Subhankar Banerjee is no more...what a nikash and wonderful laggi by him...one of the most favourite compositions of Pt. Niladri Kumar
We will all miss him very much. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
You are playing sitar very fabulous so nice of you
I don't think I've ever heard sitar played this way, the first part of the alaap forgoing meend almost entirely, integration of harmonies, it's a haunting sound that I will admit perked my western ears used to only hearing that technique on guitars and such. And yet, whereas "playing a sitar like a guitar," as western beginners tend to do, sounds amateurish and flat and dead, Niladri made it glow and sparkle and loom. And then the first hints of melisma were like a ray of sunshine piercing the clouds. Absolutely marvelous.

Indian clasical music all time my favorite Its ossum....
legendary string bends☮️🧡🙏🏽 this is amazing 🧡
When learning classical music there is a lot of form and rigidness. However, at concert, the artist is demonstrating their variations and their command both of the instrument and the raga upon which they perform. When I read about "experts" of Indian Classical music I smile because they do not know the history of Indian Classical music and that it is a form of music that was almost killed off by invaders and was and is being resuscitated by current stock of musicians. Variations and what we deem "classic" are in some cases around 100 years old and still being recreated and advanced. Personal preferences are not expert opinions. If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it. - Kid Rock
Awesome our Indian music and our artist
I have to 100 of Listen And every time to more than relaxing and good maditetion feel...
