Recently, I've found myself notably interested in the Indian classical music genre Hindustani. Unfortunately, for me that is, I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the big music/film streaming websites, nor the browser websites.
I hardly know anything about the genre more than a rough overview of the Wikipedia article about the music, and I was hoping to get to stream some of it online before actually buying CDs and stuff, just to get a quick sample of it.
If someone here can relate to my situation, I'd very much appreciate if you could tell me where to find some free online streaming sources for the music, preferably instrumental Hindustani.
Hopefully thanks in advance! :)
Don't know anything about this genre I'm afraid.
Here's a 2 octave Hindustan scale though that I posted ages ago.
HINDUSTAN: A B C# D E F G A
E 3 5
B 5 6
G 4 6 7
D 3 5 7
A 4 5 7
E 5 7
The best place to start would be streaming music by someone like Ravi Shankar on youtube. You could also look
here, or make a pandora station using the name of an artist you find on last.fm, or just Ravi Shankar.
I'm in a bit of a rush, so I can't go into much more detail than that now, sorry!
Thanks for the info, Lektro - it really helped me out!
And thanks for the scale, ID! This will hopefully broaden my phrasing.
:D
Yeah, lots to be found on YouTube. Also look for Zakir Hussain.
