Ruairi Glasheen | HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA: Part 2 -MUSIC Documentary about the HISTORY of CARNATIC RHYTHM and KANJIRA @bodhran | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA is a three part documentary series on YouTube that explores the world of Carnatic music, and in particular India’s most awesome drum, the Kanjira!

During the summers of 2018 and 2019 I spent several weeks traveling through the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu where I met with the most incredible players and immersed myself in the Carnatic tradition.

In part two of Hidden Drummers of India I meet Lalitha Ram who is a historian and author, who shares the origins of the kanjira with me and who is responsible for creating it. I visit the craftsman who made kanjiras for the great Harishankar Sir, and I meet with Lata Ramachar, who is the only female performing kanjira artist in all of India.
