Strange, I don't think I have seen a concert where the tabla was NOT tuned on stage (al the very least at the beginning of the show), even, like sitar for example, in the middle of a piece.

@@chrisgrantham7158 Indian instruments often need readjusting but not right in the beginning.of a concert.

@@rakhimukerji7937 pretty much every classical indian music I've attended starts with tuning. maybe not flute, shenai or harmonium but certainly tabla once alaap, job and jhala are over anf the gat starts

OK I did not know that salutation indicated married status like Mrs. does. I assume it does not matter for males, like Mr. and Sri? I also did not know that Lata Ji never married. I have heard of an honorific of "Pandita"--seemed not very authentic and never seen it used really, maybe it is a modern innovation like Ms.? Seems there was a female analogue for Ustaad also. I want to use the proper and most respectful titles.

@@chrisgrantham7158 Sri is also for a married man. But it is used for unmarried men too. For instance, male saints who are generally unmarried. The usual unmarried titles are Kumar(male) and Kumari (female). Pandita and Vidushi are the female versions of Pandit and Vidwan respectively They are used to refer to someone as 'master' (in the context of knowledge just like Ustaad). However, these titles are conferred to classical Indian musicians by cultural organisations. She has been conferred India's highest civilian award and therefore, you may call her Bharat Ratna (Jewel of India) Lata Mangeshkar.

@@dhruvtejaswi2948 Was Lata Ji never conferred the title of Pandita? I did not know the title had to be grated to musicians, when it seems so widely used. I have not seen an artist bio where they refer to the organization that grated them that total, when they often do list other awards...

Wow I did not know that, thanks for the info.

@@chrisgrantham7158 is this sarcasm?xD

@@tuhin-kun4547 No it is not! I don't know much at all about Indian Film, and although generally I admire the classics (I.e. Ray, Benegal) more than the modern, I have no knowledge on Kannada-language films in particular. I am grateful for being so enlightened by Mr. AM Bhat Ji

@@chrisgrantham7158 ah great man, you don't even know how much good you've done to me This concert this melody has become my addiction I play tabla I've learnt the exact bols of Utaad ji, thank you so much for uploading this in the first place

I am glad I had brought a pen to write down Zakir Ji's description! I had to do some research when I got home to accompany my post and AM Bhat above added to my knowledge.

When this concert happened?
