Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I'd just like to say
Before we start off with the concert
That
Uh
To thank you all for coming here
And
Uh
As you all know
It's a special benefit concert
We've got a good show lined up
I hope so
Anyway
First part of the concert is gonna be an
Indian music section
You're gonna hear a sitar and sarod duet
And
Uh
As you realize
Indian music's a little bit more serious than our music
And
I'd appreciate it if you could
Uh
Try and settle down and get into the
Indian music section
So let me introduce
On sitar
Ravi Shankar
And the master of sarod
Ustad Ali
Akbar Khan
Sarod
I'm sure you all know
Rvi's tabla player
Alla Rakha
And this evening
The drone instrument
The tamboura
Is being played by
Kamala
So
I hope you enjoy the concert
Thank you
Friends
As
George told you just now
They will be participating in the second part
The first part is going to be us playing for you on the
Indian instruments
The
Indian music
This is a type of music which needs
A little concentrated listening
And I would request you to have a little patience
I know you are very impatient to hear your favourite stars
Who will be in the second part
But we are trying to set the music to this special event
This historical program
Which is just not a program as usual but which has a message
And this is to just make you aware
Of a very serious situation that is happening
We are not trying to be politicians
We are artists
But through our music
We would like you to feel the agony and also the pain
And lot of sad happenings in
Bangladesh
And also the refugees who have come to
India
We will play a dhun
Which means an air or a melody
Which is based on a folk tune of
Bangladesh
And after that we'll play a gat
A fast gat in teentaal of 16 beats
Now
As usual
I would request you
My friends
To refrain or stop from smoking
While the program is on
Thank you very much
