Bhartiya Classical Music

To let you know, classical music is base of all sorts of music.    The good Hindi and Marathi film/non-film music is based on classical music.
They take one piece of classical music and create film music after adding lots of music instruments. But the grammar is same Classical music.

The base of classical ,music is Raga such as Kafi, Malhar, Durga, Desh, Yaman and many more.

Each raga is a complete unit   and generally has three parts  Vilambit(slow) - Madhyam(medium speed) and Drut( fast ).  So, a singer can take half hour to 1 hour to sing or perform the complete raga.


But, Singer or instrument player may only play or sing one part of it depending upon the audience.  Say, the audience is new and doesn't have knowledge of classical music then they will play or sing only one part of each raga(vilambit/madhyam/drut) for 10-15 min.

To start with listen from -
http://www.musicindiaonline.com

You start with instrumental Sitar by Pandit Ravishankar or tabla.  In singers, Pune has many young vocalist such as Rahul Deshpande, Anand Bhate and Shaunak Abhisheki.   Anand Bhate is a M. Tech in computer science and he is PM in Zanser tech.
