Old Indian music

The Indian music will always be a part of our living, our culture and our traditions. Before this the music was considered as a part of religion like Bhajans. In  the 20th century Indian classical music was revived. Pt. Bishnu Digambar Paluskar and Pt. Vishnu Narayan had a major role to play in this revival. Indian Music has revolutionized significantly in the 20th Century. During the period of British rule touch western music in the Indian music. The singers have been molding and making their abilities to suit not only their own likes, but also that of their fans. People search Indian music on the internet by visiting YouTube, Playit pk, Dailymotion and much more.
Original Indian music actually refers to an old music, a traditional one based on raga and a rhythmic system called "tala". Raga is considered to be the melodic basis of Indian classical music. The word comes from Sanskrit and means color. Raga is not only a musical idea. It inspired painters, poets, architects and art in general. So we can say that raga influences the Indian culture. The period from the late 1940s to 1960s are regarded the "Golden Age" of Hindi Cinema by film critics and historians. Some of the most critically acclaimed Hindi films and its music of all time were produced during this period. But here is how Indian music made it to the open. It all began with Bangladesh-born Ali Akbar Khan's 1955 concert in New York. After that, the demand for Indian music leads to the hippy ethos, and "raga-rock" became the trend of the 60's. Byrd's album "Morning and evening ragas" was the first Indian music album to appear in the western world. It became so popular in the Sixties than he reached more than 10 albums.

The playit, Dailymotion, YouTube and much more websites provide the old Indian music.
