In 2019 #Hindustani vocalist #AnandiBhattacharya was here in #ChapelHill. She told me she needed to go to Asheville to find musicians who played traditional American music for a song she wrote for a PBS documentary. I laughed and said she didn’t need to go to Asheville to find them. Indeed I made a quick call to Hank Smith and Pattie Hopkins, two of the finest traditional musicians in the US. A week later we had the final version of her track.

I studied #Hindustani #tala for a few years with Maya Misra, widow of Pt Ramesh Misra. Tala (or taal) is the system of counting beat cycles using the various sounds (bols) that a tabla makes. A few years ago I presented a lecture on the most basic taals. Each tala has a characteristic set of bols (called the theka). After you learn the theka, you practice accelerating how many bols are on a beat.

Do I have any friends here in the Fediverse that will be in the #Netherlands in July? Here are some upcoming events for the great Indian #slideguitar master #DebashishBhattacharya in #Amsterdam in July.
Includes an all day #masterclass on #Hindustani #raga and two subsequent days of concerts with his trio.

Beautiful Raag #Desh on a #slideguitar. The instrument is a Ghandharvi, which is basically a 12-string western #guitar with two extra chikari (drone) strings. Desh is arguably the most popular raag in #Hindustani Classical music. John McLaughlin has declared that Debashish “has no equal” on slide guitar.

Hackworth never joined in the #Hindustani jokes. He was better informed than most & knew they stood a chance of stomping all over the Victorians & Nipponese in the competition for China.
🥇They were just as smart,
🥈There were more of them,
🥉They understood the peasant thing.
Not only that. There is often a tendency to introduce words which increase the extent of differentiation.
An example would be #India after partition. #Hindustani a language close to #Urdu was replaced by #Hindi which underwent gradually a process of #Sanskritisation in which words were introduced into it.

Wednesday Morning #Raga. A monumental #raag #Bhimpalasi from #DebashishBhattacharya on #Hindustani #SlideGuitar. The #alap is on my regular rotation.
Bhimpalasi is based on Kafi thaat (Dorian in western terms) but the ascending line does not include the second or 6th degree. Descending lines can include all 7 pitches.
Ṉ̣ S G̱ M P Ṉ Ṡ, so minor 7th, root, minor 3rd, 4th, 5th, minor 7th, root.

Some #raga music for a Friday. The Drut (fast) section of #raag #Bagashree with Pt. #DebashishBhattacharya on #SlideGuitar and Pt. #SwapanChaudhuri on #tabla. This is the title track from Debashish's new record. This version of Bagashree is a bit deceptive in that it sounds like Khamaj (mixolydian), but because of where the tonic is it's actually in Kafi (Dorian) thaat. The ascending scale is
D F G B C D'. Descending is
D' C B A G F E D.

Some more #slideguitar session work I’ve done. This is a cool moody piece by #LipboneRedding. I’m playing my #chaturangui, a #Hindustani slide guitar. The harp like sound at one point is me strumming the sympathetic strings.

#Morning #raga by my friend and teacher #DebashishBhattacharya on #Hindustani #SlideGuitar. His brother #SubhasisBhattacharya accompanies him on #tabla.
A morning #raag from Bhairav thaat, I believe specifically Basant Mukhari. 16 beat cycle teental #tala.

Three types of #Hindustani #SlideGuitar.
L to R
Chaturangui—strings: 6 melody, 2 chikari, 2 drone, 12 sympathetic.
Pushpa Veena—strings: 5 melody, 2 chikari, 3 jawari, 13 sympathetic.
Anandi—4 melody strings.

Thaats (families) of #Hindustani #raga. Correspondence to western scales:
Bilawal = major
Kalyan = Lydian
Marwa = none
Purvi = none
Bhairav = double harmonic major
Bhairavi = Phrygian
Asavari = natural minor
Kafi = Dorian
Todi = none
Khamaj = Mixolydian
Families are not raags themselves. Raags are more complicated than just the scale, with strict rules for the order of notes, which notes can be ornamented, which can be connected by glides, and which must be emphasized.

New from #SlideGuitar master #DebashishBhattacharyawith #tabla icon #SwapanChaudhuri. Just dropped last week.
All tracks done in a single live in the studio take.
