    Manpoondia Pillai was my grandfather's guru in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. My grand father Thangavellu Pillai was the first Mrithagam master in Malaysia 🇲🇾.

    It is sad that such a genius like Harishankar passed away so early.
    He was my schoolmate(and same age) and lived in Mandaiveli in Chennai. Would see him frequently in R.K Mutt Road till early 80s. Never ever heard of his hidden ,god blessed talent in those days.
    Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa would say that if any one has achieved perfection in one art, thatis enough to realize God easily. Given the extrordinary heights that he has reached, am sure that he is one with Paramapurusha, now.

      Ah, thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot especially from another filmmaker. I did actually reach out to discovery ( i think..) maybe it was NatGeo...I cant remember.. though they said no! Ultimately, TH-cam has been amazing as anyone, anywhere can come and watch my film, share their thoughts and communicate directly how they felt about it. Its so amazing to have this connection with people watching. Thanks again for the kind words Aman, all the best, Ruairi

    Loved watching the interaction between Ruairi and the craftsman who made kanjiras for the great Harishankar Sir. Wonderful to learn also how he (Harishankar) encouraged and supported young musicians. And the expression of performance joy on Lata Ramachar’s face is priceless as is her telling how pain that women experience, can be forgotten while playing.

    I am glad that it is the first time any Westerner paying attention to South Indian Percussion instruments. I saw the first time G. Hari Shankar with this program. What an amazing talent he has!. I hope that this series many more views which it deserves. Indian is not Rajasthan alone, which every westerner eye's at. Glasheen has expanded the fathoms of South Indian Music and introduced them to westerners.

    This is such a wonderful series, a fitting tribute to the other dimension in Carnatic music....
    The vocal and stringed instruments take up all the limelight, while the rhythm aspect gets sadly neglected, unless the percussionist practically glows with talent.
    So thank you for taking up this cause and giving it the focus it deserves. As you delve deeper, you will find that within each different region in each state, there will be an interesting variation of a percussion instrument.... Which just reiterates how important a part of life rhythm is.
    I hope you can document them all.
    Thanks for the series again.

    Mr Ruairi, you have covered so many perspectives with respect to Khanjira/ Kanjira as an instrument and carnatic music in general. Not to forget the interview with those who make percussion instruments. Latha madam's zeal to perform and continue the tradition is commendable. And you Mr Ruairi, the way you have conducted these interviews, especially when the Tamil part came with instrument maker..... my respect to you.

    Brief explainer for those who want to know what the "A-grade artist" thing Sh. Lata Ramachar was talking about:
    All India Radio (AIR) is/was one of the most important platform for classical musicians. AIR classifies performers in grades and it is widely considered to be a reliable measure of an artist's competence.

I never knew who he was or how great he was ,but just remember being north indian, we still enjoyed watching those late night telecasts. So excited to see those masters after all these years. Hats off to all the great artistes!

      Awesome! So cool that you remember the old footage, I wish that more was accessible from this period. I imagine its all on reels/tapes in some room, somewhere, waiting to be discovered again.

      Madam it's Mr Harishankar. Govinda Rao Harishankar, born in Chennai(Madras at that time) I don't know if you are mentioning him as a North Indian or you are referring to yourself, but he's from Southern part of India.
