HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA: Part 1 -Documentary about MUSIC in INDIA, CARNATIC RHYTHM and the KANJIRA

HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA is a three part documentary series on KZread that explores the world of Carnatic music, and in particular India’s most awesome drum, the Kanjira!
During the summers of 2018 and 2019 I spent several weeks traveling through the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu where I met with the most incredible players and immersed myself in the Carnatic tradition.
In part one of Hidden Drummers of India, I’m in Bengaluru where I was based for a large portion of my first trip in 2018 and features the following incredible musicians in order of appearance:

    UTTER NONSENSE. Sanskrit was invented only 150 ad plagiarized tamil. All the mythodology rewritten to defeat bhuddism. Bharath is only name . Its related sea. Tamils were sea travellers 50000 years ago. So that name. India is not a hindu country. India become hindu only 150ad., All vedas are tamil literature. I just noticed name of Belarus. White russia. Vellai russian. "The German version advocates that the 'Bela' part might derive from a word meaning 'western' (as the western part of the Rus) whereas in the English Wikipedia it is translated as 'white'.May 12, 2012" Everything in india stolen from tamil. First Priest caste Then Muslims Then british. Its incredible. When we see korean mandarin came from tamil. Half the english words are tamil root words. In India its all sanskrit crap. Oh my goodness. Wake up people. We must understand we live in lies and die in reality. Some time people go overboard with mythology nonsense. If you google quora .. you get all kinda nonsense about how bharat name came from. Bharat is paratham - sea. Tamil culture is about exploration because its oldest civilization ever.

A gentleman I know who has been drumming for probably fifty years once remarked that it was the original form of music. Such a basic truth, but one that had eluded me until then. Both of your films, and your course and videos have only made me appreciate this more deeply. I was a "give me a guitar any day" kind of gal until this year. lol Thanks again Ruairi.

    Ruari, Amazing work! Your genuine interest, curiosity and humility is quite infectious.. One can see it through how the people and percussionists are reciprocating to all of it.. Thoroughly enjoyed the doc, top notch production... What stands out though is your unwillingness to impose any sort of narrative and tell the story of the people, unlike most historians or musicologists... With this mindset, I'm really confident that the land called Bharath will teach you a lot, above and beyond any stretch of imagination.. Wish you great luck in all of your future endeavors.
