Fantastic footage! Emperor of the veena S. Balachander plays a garland of ragas

OMG, fantaaastic! I can watch this clip all day!!!

Amazing footage of the greatest veena genius, S. Balachander. In this set he’s playing a garland of ragas. There’s some funny moments as well, revealing a bit more of his personality. His playing is monumental and totally unique. Soo inspiring and uplifting to watch this. I think serious, improvising musicians from all over the world – regardless of their musical and cultural background – will easily get inspired by this stupendous veena playing.

  2. It is amazing.Years and years of practice. I like his Alaap ang style.
    So much control over the notes,is the result of hard work.
    God bless him with long life so that I can learn more from his Veena playing methods and combine them in my Sitar playing.
