Indian classical music is a very rich and beautiful tradition of music that goes back over 3,500 years.

One of the purposes of this channel is to share this beautiful tradition with the world.

Many people both in India and around the world enjoy Indian classical music and want to know more about it, but most of the information available assumes that people are already familiar with basic Indian music concepts like raga, tala, and so on. Unfortunately, this is not true in many cases.

So I try to explain these basic concepts from scratch, using both Indian and Western notation, in order to be accessible to both Indian and non-Indian audiences.

This YouTube channel is an extension of my website (https://raag-hindustani.com), where illustrative videos are used to explain various concepts. The website gives a well-structured introduction to Indian classical music, so head over for a more complete understanding.

Meanwhile, enjoy the illustrative videos on this channel.

Thanks!
