You know what really pisses you off.when stuff like this has just 40,000
views and Kolaver di gets umpteen millions getting shared across the world
as the creative wave of Indian music...sigh...oh well.all I can say
is this is one of the best fusions I ve heard..absolutely ethereal to
the level that you could feel the energy of the performance...All the best
Agam & Coke Studio...may there be many more enthralling performances and in
the end may the true essence & spirit of music win

Very Sad to here this... Malhar is Totally missing ... i know vocalists is
Riyaazi... BUt feel is absolutely missing. I request COKE pls maintain
the essence of RAGA because Young Generation is watching this ... according
to me Malhar is not like this ... This sounds like More of Bindravani
Sarang.

Harish Sivaramakrishnan on September 09, 2012
@BrechtMUSIC its an esraaj, played by ustad Ashad khan

karthrags on September 11, 2012
Unfortunate that he was missed out in the description. Maybe you fix it?
Many people would want to know the instrument and player of such a
beautiful sound :)

Nupur Singh on September 13, 2012
this is awesome music. Where have you guys been till now? Expecting more
epic stuff from u

Kedar Karmarkar on September 16, 2012
Wow! What a piece! This is one of the best pieces on Coke Studio Season 2!
Amazing, uplifting and energetic, that was a beautiful carnatic fusion
tarana. The tabla sounds wonderful, but I missed the sound of the Mridangam
too ;-) Any case, this is first rate music, thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Boby Mohan on September 17, 2012
Please learn to understand and write good English would be my request to
you Mr.Venkatasubramanian. My statement with ref to Hamsadhvani was a
general take on the 'fusion' scene in Carnatic music not to this specific
video. You are free to your views and I guess one's choice of language in
public reflects more on the upbringing than anything else. God bless you!

Boby Mohan on September 17, 2012
Honestly guys, please read my comment slowly. Hamsadhvani was used in a
very general sense and in reference to the prevalent Carnatic 'fusion'
scene, where this is the most commonly mangled one; when your title says
Malhar, one ought to be blind and deaf to call this anything else. As a
composer, I understand your sense of ownership and appreciate it too.
Without that pride, one won't be creative. In the same vein, as a listener
am I not entitled to my views and preferences? Good luck

Harish Sivaramakrishnan on September 18, 2012
Boby, Thanks for writing in - Again. I would like to reiterate, we value
your opinion and feedback and will work towards doing better as musicians.
We do not specifically agree to your bracketing our effort to be the same
as playing "Vathapi Ganapathim" with guitars + keys and have a drums +
mridangam + ghatam standoff (taniavarthanam) at the end. We have worked
hard to not play music like that and believe have done more than that.
Thanks again for engaging in this conversation. Appreciate it.

Mangesh Bale on September 18, 2012
Exellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Archith Sonty on September 19, 2012
I think Megh Malhar was never used in a better way...Hats off Harish...Keep
up the work..id call you to my college if i could for a performance..and
the mix of brindavan sarang makes it better..and if u dont mind a
suggestion...if u havent try a fusion in the raag Jog and Desh...they fall
good on the ears..

Archith Sonty on September 19, 2012
it is not brindavan sarang per se...they are very similar ragas.there is
a daivata in the middle..that gives it the malhar touch...while the nishada
imples its brindavani sarang.

irfanhatrickpathan on September 19, 2012
wow stunning,superb blend of carnatic and rock music.thank u cs and
agam.:)

trollguy357 on September 20, 2012
How about uploading some of your own compositions so that you give an
example of that which you like listening to?

SilentBoy10 on September 22, 2012
People have different opinion.. and I just loved this song .. Keep up the
good work mate .. Lots of warm wishes.. hope to hear a lot from you.

Japneet Singh on September 22, 2012

Aurindam Mukherjee on September 25, 2012
There have been not many songs in the edition to make me notice. This one
made me cry. The first 60 seconds.

Amrutanshu Mishra on September 28, 2012
The music is phenomenal, but for me what steals the cake is the voice.
Harish's voice quality is amazingly phenomenal. Oh and a big shoutout for
my buddy Jaggu on the acoustic guitar :)

Arnab Biswas on September 29, 2012

do not pay attention to Boby Mohan it is his illusion that he did not like
it but believe, this is really a very nice song and reminds Shankar
Mahadevan great work

vigneshs93 on October 05, 2012

unrelated comments! You guys have done a great job! Thanks to MTV
CokeStudio for having such programs!

Japheth Ebenezer on October 15, 2012
I would differ big time with Mr Boby Mohan's comment. I absolutely loved
the Song the whole arrangement from the original Agam Composition was
nothing less than brilliance @ work it was a step up to a whole new
level. Keep up the Good work Guys... As harish mentioned its what a Good
Collaboration can do..

Vikramaditya Bagri on October 18, 2012

I like the original much much more!

Payel Kar on November 08, 2012
Yeah the older version... That one is.. awesome !!! Love your new album,
you guys were my first live show at HRC Bangalore..so special :)

Payel Kar on November 08, 2012
The older version brought out the percussion and the vocals blended in pure
magic, the coke studio version had flute, though the flute was exceptional
but i somehow felt that it took over too much limelight and made the whole
piece lost its harmonious blend. The flute piece become more prominent. BUT
thats what i felt...love your work!

Krishnapriya Ailam Sankar on November 13, 2012
saw and heard you guys for the first time in kochi!! you guys were
AWESOME!!

L Arvind on November 25, 2012
