Индийская музыка - Ситар - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The sitar is a multi-stringed musical instrument used to perform Indian classical music, belonging to the group of plucked string musical instruments.

Appeared in the 13th century.

The sitar has seven main strings: five melodic and two bourdon. In addition, the sitar has another 9-13 resonating strings, which are called taraf (orchestra). Resonating strings, responding to the sounds of the main ones, create that unique sound that distinguishes the sitar from other instruments. Sounds are produced with a special mediator called a mizrab, which is placed on the index finger.
