Waagal - Somārudrā || Throatsinging Sitar Live Looping

Stream: “Somārudrā“ is an adaptation of the 74th hymn of 6th Mandala from Rig Veda. The Rig Veda is a collection of sacred hymns from ancient India composed in Vedic Sanskrit. It is one of the four great canonical texts of Hinduism known as the Vedas. It is one of the oldest existing texts in the Indo-European language. According to Indologists, philologists and linguists, it was written between 1500 and 900 BC. The Vedic people who spoke this language lived 3,500 years ago (1500 BC). This song is based on two 7/4 frame drum loop (with two different subdivisions), with throatsinging and sitar. It’s also the third part of a polyrhythmic throatsinging triptych. I humbly try to pronounce this language to the best I can, with months of studying phonology and phonetic of Vedic Sanskrit. It’s far from perfect, but here’s my attempt with all respect and awe to the Vedic culture.

Distributing seven jewels in each house, be happiness for us bipeds, happiness for the quadrupeds. O Soma and Rudra, tear away in every direction the terror that has entered our house. Drive suffering away. May good fortune and good name be ours. O Soma and Rudra, place all these effective remedies for us in our bodies. Drive away this calamity installed in our bodies, You two, Soma and Rudra, with sharp weapons, with your sharp arrows, you who are show your compassion for us. Free us from Varuna’s chain. Protect our cows with your good thoughts. #sitar #throatsinging #sanskrit STAY IN TOUCH ? · Facebook: · Instagram: · Website: OTHER SONGS YOU MIGHT LIKE · Ritual (solo Didgeridoo Kashaka Handpan) - · Humans’ Journey (Handpan Didgeridoo Kashaka Keyboard) - · Chronos (Ethno Jazz Handpan) - LISTEN / DOWNLOAD MUSIC ·Website: · Bandcamp: · Spotify: · Apple Music: · Deezer: · Download: Subscribe to follow new videos ;)
