- Indian classical music, with its mesmerizing ragas, shimmering drones, and timeless melodies, might seem out of reach for many Western players. But did you know that your ukulele is a wonderful gateway to this 6,000-year-old musical tradition?
Sayali Tank teaches this bandish, or excerpt, of the classical Indian evening raga "Raag Bhupali," from her book with James Hill, Ragelele.

Oh, the sweet taste of India 🇮🇳
Thank you for this inspiring and enthusing video.
Awesome nice and great 👍
As a ukulele player who used to listen to Ragas for hours on end, I look forward to connecting these two far-flung dots on the map! Thanks
This is great to see. I love your class and I just happen to have a Ukulele that I removed the frets on and it’s much easier. I definitely recommend a pickup if you use a fretless ukulele.
Thank you. Very clear presentation. Good sound. Good video, Good explanation. Some years back I had stumble on these slides to get a rough Indian sound but it is great to see how to do it properly with a range of ornamentations.
This is really beautiful and enjoyable to learn! Thank you!
I’m so excited to be in this class. Thank you very much for your years of hard work in bringing this to us. It’s mind blowing to a western Uke player. 🙏🙏🙏 Looking forward to learning!
I'm gonna try this.
1:59 Playing with high-G tuning "won't be an issue", you say. But much to my disappointment, I've found that four of the five pieces in the online Ragalele course are unplayable on my high-G ukulele. I'm glad I can get my money back, but it would have been even better to receive advance warning of the low-G requirement in the emails announcing the course. [EDITED TO ADD: Since writing this comment a week ago, I've bought myself a second ukulele so that I'll always be ready for high G or low G. But because of the psychology of expectation management, I still think it would be courteous to give students early warning of the tuning requirements.]
