The audience was so polished and well-mannered. When Pandit Ravi Shankar asked them to stop clapping and listen to the playing, they obeyed immediately. Shows how humble the two musicians are on the other hand. They didn't crave attention but wanted to present what they went there for. That's why they didn't care about the applause. That kind of humility should exist in all artists.

I don't often watch videos where theory is explained but this short clip just unlocked a bit of insight.

There was a verbal sound for a particular hitting of the tabla... and he could speak a "tabla" language that could translate into music. Ravi Shankar is a genius of sound. Just pure genius.

I would have to say, that these are the most accomplished musicians on the planet, and I am not an opinion to be taken lightly. I have played every form of Western music from ( yes I can read music) classical, country, rock, jazz, heavy metal, blues, funk, fusion..etc...in order to make a living. Jack of all trades, master of none, so to speak. But these guys are the undisputed masters of their trade, and I highly respect them for it. No disrespect to any other drummer, but I would rather hear Alla Rakha to any other drummer with the exception to Buddy Rich, who is my all-time favorite drummer. Buddy was THE master of jazz drumming, hands down. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Its simply brilliant to watch this as folks from our generation or anyone younger never got to see Alla Rakha live. I think he had a very unique kind of connection with Pt Ravi Shankarji. Raviji's sitar and his sangat on Tabla just felt divine, something out of this material world.

What a tresure, a true Ustad. You are much loved and missed Abaji.
