Pandit Arvind Parikh (Master of Sitar)
Pandit Arvind Parikh (Master of Sitar)

 
 
Pandit Arvind Parikh, master of sitar, is the famous student of the very great master of sitar,the late Ustad Vilayat Khan (Aftaab-e-Sitar). Purvi Parikh, daughter of Pt. Arvind Parikh, is a very good vocalist. This is a part of his email to me about the Ustad:
 
"Indian musicians believe that teentaal (16 beats) is the King of all rhythms and once she/he is proficient in playing/improvising in teentaal, she/he can improvise in other rhythms without any difficulty.  Though Ustad Vilayat Khan most of the times plays gat-s in teentaal (16 beats), he does occasionally play gat-s in the other rhythms such as rupak (7 beats) and jhaptaal (10 beats).  He also plays in ektaal (12 beats) especially in the drut laya (faster tempo)."
