Pandit Ravi Shankar one of his classical pieces.
Indian Raga dance and songs it's really awesome you can see the traditional side of India with a touch of morden form sharing the link

Just a lil fact: traditional Indian music varies a lot from region to region, south has carnatic music, north has Hindustani classical, and states have folk music as well. It's really rich and diverse. Loved the reaction!
What was this one? It was weird for me. Couldn't connect.
@@GAURAV_RANA_ carnatic.
@@GAURAV_RANA_ that's because you heard it first time and most of y'all find South Indian languages stupid that's why y'all will never connect to it
@@saakshishetty7899 no i don't find them stupid. A bit funny cos some words have a totally diff meaning in hindi. Me and my south friends often laugh although i have very few.
I'm reading your comment in indian accent omfg
In childhood i used to find indian classical music very boring. But with time i have learned it that it is one of best and most organized music in the whole world. The science behind it is very interesting.
Same bro
Same with me
Same!
Same here
Same here !!
the main lady literally SINGS OUT the tunes, and the violinist then plays EXACT SAME TUNES that was sung, on the violin.. thats how it went actually
Actually, no the violinist doesn't repeat the exact same rendition of the vocalist. It's completely on the spot, whatever she plays
Aruna Sairam is a legend in carnatic music. Her concert is always jam packed. I have been to her concert. It was really amazing and she is a down to earth person. The auditorium was full but she accepted to place extra chairs and let people sit even on the stage and listen to her.
She's not singing any song.. She's giving 'aalap' in the 'shhanmukhapriya' raaga.. Great rendering
It is tanam, not aalap...
It is actually called a Taanam, part of the Raagam Taanam. Pallavi concept which is the highlight of a karnatik music concert. Taanam is improvisation of the Raaga , which in this case is Shanmukhapriya. It lays stress on rendering the notes if the Raaga with a rhythm. Though there is a basic pattern to it much is extempore and very creative with spontaneous interactions between the artists.
A Raaga is a combination of notes of the octave which is pleasant to the ear and also evokes and depicts emotions or bhaava. The major scale in western music is called Shankarabharana.
Much of oriental music is in a Raaga we call Mohan which has 6 notes . It lacks Fa (MA in India) AMD tee ( Ni for us).It is a happy sounding Raaga and Mohana means beautiful or pleasant.
The long instrument is called the tamboora or tamboori in the south. The south Indian tamboora has a hollow base of wood and 4 strings tuned in this order Fa So So (both high end of major scale ) and last lower So
It is tuned the the scale that the singer sings in. For example G or G sharp, and all the instruments including the mridangam are tuned to the same pitch.
We have 2 systems of classical music in India, both based on the Raaga system, but are different styles ..about 4000 years old!
Also the Toccata and fugue in D minor by Bach a minor scale is somewhat akin to the Raaga Keeravani..
Literal meaning, voice of a bird..parrot
Phaniraj Srinivas Ch Thank you for explaining 🙏🏻
Not Aalap. It is Thanam.
Awesome guys....I am South indian..... Feels nice to see your reaction on our cultural musicals
U r indian and so this music is
He was laughing in between
Pls watch jiya jale Berklee cover 😍🤩
Jai Hind not for music but probably for the expressions
me too!where in south
That thing she does in the begining "thum thum da day" is called thanam, it is unique to carnatic classical music... You guys should react to konnakol the vocalization of rhythm, that'll knock you off your feet. As a musician, studied jazz for a while, and carnatic, I wanted to incorporate the carnatic inflections in to my guitar, but I gave it up. It's impossible. Please do try konnakol
South is resemblance of ancient India.
South preserved our pride even during the brutal rule of mughals
Right
Because south was never in rule of mughals
I am from North, but I will Say South music is best.I love to listen K j yesudas, subbulaxmi

The long string instrument is 'tanpura' it's purely for the purpose for maintaing the pitch and the note.
Anandi Ganguly you comment a lot lmao

And it's called Tamburi in South India

@@anandiganguly3086 I think we both are on same page, and as far as my knowledge goes it just dose the same thing of emmiting the reference sound for sa pa saa
Plz correct me if I am wrong
That string instrument is called the TANPURA.
It's called tanpura in hindustani classical music. In carnatic music it's called thamburu.....
This is the first time someone reacted to carnatic music. Loves your reaction. Please do some more reaction videos on carnatic music. Pleasantly surprised to know that Rick was a musical theatre teacher.
This is not a Veena. The string one by the lady in Purple saree is violin. The lady with the tall instrument- it's called Tanpura or Tamburi which is a supporting instrument.
When you say Do re mi fa so la ti do.. we have similar base notes called sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa. Any musical to be perfected comes with perfecting the 1st, 5th and the 8th note.. sa, pa, sa..
The sa pa sa is what forms the tunes, the base for different types of them. The Tanpura essentially helps the singer always keep the base of the tune.
The man in yellow is sitting with a beating instrument called Mridangam. It is one of the primary percussion instrument in a carnatic music set up. And the last one is called Ghatam. It is another percussion instrument in south Indian music..it is a clay pot locally known as matka.
Hope this helps :)
Very deep information. Thanks
Veena is the generic name for string instruments. For example sitar is also called tree-tantri veena, literally three stringed veena.
@@gauravmshr actually Veena is the generic name only for diffetent types of Veena. Other string instruments have different names which have originated and have their own forms from the different types of Veena.
So essentially when someone says Veena they refer only to the different types of Veena and not actually sitar or sarod or others
@@gauravmshr What I'm trying to say I'm giving the spoken reference rather than confuse with the historic symbolism for Rick and Korbin to understand at the start :-)
Veena is of course the mother of all string Instruments. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Yrah why was she playing a violin?
Subs? She wasn't saying lyrics then. It was just what we call "aakar". Sounds from the mouth.
I think it was meant as a joke.. :)
@@kaye_07 no.lol
Aakar or Taraanaa?
Just asking.
@@Alakshendra It is the Thaanam portion of what is called the Ragam - Thaanam- Pallavi. The Raagam part has Alaapanai ( Aalaap in Hindustani, I think) which has the Raga explored in Akaaram,while ,the Thaanam is what they reviewed, explores the Ragam with Thaalam,( beat) ,too ,using only the two syllables of 'thaa' & 'nam', hence the name Thaanam,while the Pallavi explores the Raagam by setting it to lyrics , usually only a couple of lines. The Tharana is equivalent to the Thillaana of Carnatic Music, I think. The RTP is at the pinnacle of mastery of Carnatic music.
@@SitaShank thanks a lot for explaining this. 🙏🙏🙏
Being an indian even I am listening to this amazing traditional music for the first time and i dont know how many more thousands of forms, i have not heard of yet.. everything in India is massive and diverse and so amazing..😦
The singer's name is Aruna Sairam. The singing technique is called "Thaanam" which is one of the advanced techniques of carnatic music. If you listen closely, she repeats the word "Thaanam" sequentially with a grammar.
O wow!! I never thought you would react to Indian Carnatic Classical music too...
Congratulations..
Coz Indian themselves more into pop
But still Hindustani n Carnatic best
Thug Life Level 💯
Rick got Shanmukhapriya right in the first go.
Purusharth Bajpai 😊
Bro when did he say it was shanmukhapriya?? Can u please tell me the time when he said that?
I now regret for not learning Carnatic music when I was a kid, though I had a chance. 😔
You still have a chance it's never too late
I did learn as a kid and hated singing. Still play the mridangam tho
Welcome to Carnatic music. It's an ocean unto itself (like other art forms). That instrument in the back is the Tambura . It's the constant drone-y sound you hear in the background if you pay attention.
It's great to listen to this stuff here rather than on the original music video, cuz it's nice to see people enjoying something :)
That big tall instrument is called "Tanpura"
Or Thambura as we call it in the South.
Love your variety of juicy contents 💓
This reaction of urs i watched 7 times back to back, beautiful.
Its a power Indian Raag go to original one for once.
Day by day I'm loving you guys more and more......u made me look into my country's roots of art which is just amazing 🤗☺️😘😍
Hi thanks for reacting on classical music ,this comes from southern part of India , CARNATIC music singer name Aruna sriram and shanmukha Priya is RAAGA. Name ,long instrument is THAMBURA, n which is cylindrical It is MRUDHNGAM ........ INIDAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Is OF two varieties HUNDUSTHANI (NORTHEN PART OF INDIA )N CARNATIC MUSIC ( SOUTHERN PART OF INDIA ) I HOPE U PPL react on Indian classical dancer too
Veena on the contrary is a full music instrument that has different types based on the region it is made from or how the sound box is carved like. Different wood gives a different musical edge to strings.
It always played sitting down in crossed legged position. The instrument is horizontally resting where the sound dome sits on the right thigh or the floor..and the supporting dome sits on the left thigh. It depends on the instrument player's body gait and comfort level.
That is a manveena. There are different types of Veena too
@@jijogorgeraj I know that :) I play the Mysore Veena so I know the difference. I guess you missed my other comment. I was trying to differentiate between Tanpura and Veena. Not explain about Veena in detail.
Hope the context is clear now :)
The big tall one is called a tanpura for helping the singer in matching with the Shruti or tone
Violin when someone sits has to place the it like that only!!
That's called the Thambura which is used for the pitch. It has four strings and every Vocalist traditional one will have it to pitch their voice. I started watching your videos accidentally from last evening and I should say that you both not only enjoy our great Carnatic music and also want to know more about it. It is like an Ocean and every Carnatic song touches your core of heart and you become one with the Lord. I get goosebumps because even though you don't understand the intricacies of our Heritage and music you enjoy it absolutely. That's the power of music which is beyond caste or creed or religion or country. Keep up the good work. Love you both. Hope you both are safe at this critical time . We Indians will pray for your country to come back with zest and energy soon. Praba Gopal Chennai India
The long instrument is called the Tampura. It isn't played by itself, instead to maintain the rhythm of the singer and other instruments,
Not rhythm ma'am, it is to maintain the pitch
The big tall instrument is tambura. Helps the singer stay on pitch. Also, please react to Sanjay Subramanyan. He's arguably the greatest carnatic musician in the open era.
Apart from the folk music that varies from region to region, traditional Indian music is of two kinds - Carnatic (roots in South India) and Hindustani (from North India). Even instruments used in these two schools of music are different. For example, the sideways drums you saw in this video is called the mridangam - this instrument is used in Carnatic music, while the tabla - a 2-piece drum set is used in Hindustani.
There are 3 different "big tall string instruments" in traditional Indian music. The one used in this video is called the Tanpura (in Hindi) or Tamboori (in other south Indian languages). It's purpose is similar to the A-440 thing that Rick was talking about.
The other string instrument that looks similar to the Tanpura is the Sitar - this is what Pandit Ravishankar used to play. The Sitar is again a Hindustani instrument. The Carnatic equivalent of the Sitar, and probably the older one is the Veena.
The position of the violin is such only because it is common practice to sit cross-legged while performing. So that position is most ergonomic.
Two of the many many doyens of the Indian music fraternity you should check out - Pandit Bhimsen Joshi (Hindustani Classical) & MS Subbulakshmi (Carnatic Classical).
Also check out this national integration video - czcams.com/video/MqYI0ijhk-8/video.html. This has most of the important Indian musical instruments, and also the prominent dance forms (each state had a different dance form).
the instrument is Tanpura............ the strings actually sink with the heart beat. Generally the singer first listen to it and kind of sink their heart beat with Tanpura and then start singing. When its sinked with hear the singing is heavenly.
So friggin happy right now!!! Please please react to more traditional indian music!!!!
Note : The artist's name is Aruna Sairam. Shanmukhapriya is the raga on which this piece of music is based (raga is more like a framework of notes and there are many different ragas in indian classical music. Each raga creates a certain mood or emotion.)
You should also react Kaushiki Chakraborty bhimpalasi Hindustani classical music, its awesome
you mean Kaushiki?
@@_UtkarshaBora exactly
She is amazing. Had got to meet her and her father Pandit Ajay Chakraborty a few years back and 'O tota pakhi' song that she sang was and has been my one of my favourite since then. 💙
I agree..they will be blown away
Now I know where the idea came from @ourstupidreactions
What you saw the violinist do is replicate EXACTLY what Aruna did with her voice. It's one of the first things accompanying instrumentalists learn, is to be able to follow, memorize, and provide a real-time "reverb", so to speak. If you listen carefully, you'll hear her playing while Aruna is singing as well: just after she sings a note, the violinist will play it as if it's telepathic communication.
I really fallen in love with both of you guys to see how you appreciate and love Indian classical music. I've never seen any foreigner to listen this kind of music with great interest and care.
Wow!! Guys ...I m South I Indian and I actually learnt Carnatic Music for 5yrs and it was really NC to see u react to it ☺️☺️☺️
Btw d "lyrics" are just few letters lyk 'do re mi fa..' .... So u can't get the subtitles. There r some other songs wch have the lyrics and u can listen to them as well☺️👍👍
Carnatic music is the most toughest classical music form to learn.. it's very complicated.. it will take years of practice to get to perfection.
True but with dedication you can achieve it. I've been learning for 10 years now but it also depends a little on which age you're learning.
There is no words ,its just sound ....There are more videos like this one .
Shanmukhapriya, a Raaga that moves me every time. Blissful.
The tall instrument is Tampura. It provides a harmonic drone that helps the singer stay in pitch. The two percussion instruments are Mridangam and Ghatam (the clay pot)
Loved the way you bring variety of
Juicy content!!
Keep going 👍👍👍
Must visit India soon. then make a video over there.
Thanks for reacting to Carnatic music. Respect from South India. Carnatic music festival called "Marghazhi Utsavam" will happen during december month (in Tamil month "Marghazhi"). It's famous in south india. This particular singer she is a carnatic music legend "Aruna Sairam".
One of the rarest reaction channels which reacts to all aspects of Indian music and movie and not just trying to get views but reacting to commercial content.
This makes them the best and will take them a long way. ❤️💙💚
Waaw..😀 U guys reacted to Karnataka's "Shasthriya Sangeeta"..😍 I am an indian kannadiga..🙏 it takes many years to learn and lot of dedication too.. So in karnataka most of the people send their children in very young age to learn this.. Thanku guys for reacting to such a traditional music video..🙏👍
Well good morning!My aunts are Indian classical song and dance teachers too!
It is beautiful to see, you guys enjoy the classical carnatic music.
The long string instrument - Tambura
The base Percussion - Mridangam
The big one is Tambora ! It’s used for a base on the classical vocal or instrumental performances!
Woooowwww !! You came to indian classical music 😍😍😍 this is my subject now ❤️ im a classical vocalist....learning since im 5....now im 26+..... Btw, i can tell u chose the best thing ....after this watch pandit ajay chakraborty or ustaad rashid khan's performance.....then watch coke studio(indian & pakistani both) music .....u'll be amazed i can assure u that ❤️🙏✌️😊
With my limited knowledge , and from the experience in attending few of the Carnatic and Hindustani concerts , this style of "vaythari" ( not a part of lyric or without a lyric ) is a popular improvised version of "varnam" ( which can be simply translated to as the "explanation" of the raga ( scale) or like a warm-up of the raga ). Here the vocalist gives the notes in the scale, which notes are to be emphasized, the pattern of " arohana" ( ascending) and " avarohana" ( descending ) of the scale etc. This helps the instrumentalists and the audience to get connected to the raga ( scale) and thala ( rhythm, beat eg: 4/4, 7/8, 6/8, etc ) of the piece which they are going to perform. The piece "kriti" ( with the original lyric ) will follow after this.
The style of "vaythari" featured in this video is often used in Hindustani Music. In fact these types of improvisation is used according to the taste of the audience. For a group of universal audience, these styles are accepted, whereas the concerts organized for the more orthodox and traditional places, where there may be more knowledgeable people in the audience, improvisations are not very common, the improvisation limits to the styles within the genre to avoid any "theoretical" conflicts. But if the artists are popular, they can present these improvisations as they can manage the heat of it !!
The best example are in front of you, you see the violin in the Carnatic Music concert, although there are differences in using the instrument especially the way the artists holds it. This started from the Colonial era, had to go through many criticisms from the orthodox musicians at that time. Now its an unavoidable part of the Concert.
So as the case of Mandolin, ( a version of Folk Guitar. Watch concerts of U.Srinivas , czcams.com/video/qrIepcMALCI/video.html ) Saxophone ( Watch concerts of Kadri Gopalnath, czcams.com/video/jS93Dp3LPSY/video.html ). Also "Thabala" ( percussion instrument from Hindustani Music ) are widely used in Concerts.
By the way, if you haven't got the info yet, the big long instrument which you asked in the video is "thampura" which gives the basic notes of the pitch used by the vocalists. , so that the instruments can tune to it. This is a different system from the Western music were the pitch of the notes, eg: C D D#, etc will be the same for every instrument associated in the piece. But in Carnatic and Hindusthani, the notes of the instruments are tuned to the pitch of the vocalists.
As music has no ( and should not have ) boundaries, there should be cross-cultural experiments and improvisations, but there should be an orthodox version also. Both have to be promoted to keep the Music genre alive.
Fun fact, this is not a pre rehearsed performance. Before the show, they just go through chunks of what they'll go through. But most of this is improvised.
The tall instrument is called Tanpura. React to more traditional Indian music. Loved this one❤️
I AM LITERALLY CRYING. YOU GUYS ARE SO PURE. 😭😭😭
mahima venugopal 😘
What a musical voice she has ❤❤❤ she don't need any instrument to show magic of her voice..

Hi, Rick and Korbin. This was Mrs.Aruna Sairam performing one of the most complex genres of Carnatic music.its called Raga, Tana, pallavi. You just listened to the tana aspect which is improvisation of a scale in a very rhythmic manner. The Raga aspect shows the extense and the possibility of the movement of notes within the framework set for a scale. The pallavi aspect is a very short lyrical piece which is sung . Here the singer uses a lot of mathematical calculations to show the expertise. Tq for reacting so wonderfully. Music is universal.
Traditional carnatic music of south India.Singer Aruna Sairam the legend.
You should make video on living legend Lata mangeskar Indian Nightingale she has sung more than 50,000 thousand songs in her 70years of career and still she sings .
Innovative musicians adapted the violin, primarily a Western instrument, to Carnatic music and developed a whole new technique of playing, indistinguishable from its original sound patterns. The Violin is the only western instrument that has been completely absorbed into Indian music. It was introduced to India about 300 years ago. It is played in a sitting position and is held between the right foot and the left shoulder. The strings of the Violin in India are tuned to different notes than its western counterpart. The light tone of the steel string and the deep, almost human tone of the fourth string enrich the peculiarities of the Carnatic music.
Feeling so calm after watching this music video
KORBIN: 4:12 "I wish there were subs(subtitles)" Ha Ha Ha 🤣
P R 😂😂😂👍🏼
Sorry bro, we cannot find a subtitle for that,that is a raga expansion
What she did is called 'Thanam' in Carnatic music. One whole composition has three major components called "Raagam", "Thanam" and "Pallavi". Thanam is the part where the vocalist sings both the raga structure along with the rhythmic syllables. Whereas Ragam is the part where the structure of the whole raga is sung. And Pallavi is the place where one lyrical composition is sung on the set raga. Here the vocalist demonstrated Thanam.
And the long instrument is called Tambura. Its a string instrument.
Pedro Eushtace studies under flute maestro Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia. As a matter of fact, Pandit Hari Prasad also belong to the same music gharana(family) as Pandit Ravi Shankar was. Pandit Ravi Shankar's wife Annapurna Devi is the great teacher of Pandit Hari Prasad.
Btw yes it is the violin. And it's held vertically in Carnatic music. Not a personal preference. The tall string instrument is the Tambura. It plays only C G and C. It is used as reference pitch
React to any GANGUBAI HANGAL and BHIMSEN JOSHI classical music.
Yes bro
Nora Jones is the daughter of Ravi shankar
Two Indian historic formats is there,,, "HINDUSTANI " n "KARNATIK" music....
Thanks for choosing melodious Indian 🎶 😘😍🙏
The tall string instrument is called a Tanpura. It has 6 strings, 5 are tuned to the base tune and the 1 with one of the other notes of the scale. The other one was indeed violin. Its mainly used in Carnatic music, never in hindustani music.

React to Shape Of You: Carnatic Mix (Feat. Aditya Rao)
the reason i heard the violin is not held in hand as in western style is because the violin is supported between base of the neck and the leg leaving the hand free. they can play more complex notes this way with the hand being free
I am very impressed by da musical knowledge of Rick... It's kinda surprise for me... I'm a musician too and I like when someone talks about the technicality and detailing of music with such passion.. Rick was on point... And his reaction to the beats was true... This man is hiding soo much knowledge in his self... And its true many most successful musicians in west were inspired by the indian music and disciplinary tradition of Indian music... Bcoz being oldest civilization on earth... That's where origins of music come from... Very insightful reaction by uu...

Please react to Aruna sairam and soumik datta ,utsav its an amezing performce and collaboration of tillana...please pleaseeeee😍
Instruments used are Mirudangam [percussion instruments], Ghatam [percussion instruments], Violin & Tanpura [The long thing like like sitar]. Carnatic music & Bharathnatiyam is THE greatest art given to the world by Tamizhans'. You can see in google how these 2 form of arts works. FYI westerners hold the violin in a different way compared to the Indians it doesn't mean either of them in incorrect.
@ricksegall i am really impressed by your knowledge of theatre and music. i really appreciate people who contribute and / teach the fine arts, because art is the soul of our species, it is the one thing that liberates, connects and bonds us all.
Seems like i have watched it earlier somewhere in youtube galaxy😉 Surprisee!!!!!😂🙃🙃🙃🙃
react to kaushiki chakraborthy if you enjoy traditional Indian music.
Someone request this on patreon
You guys are wonderful and i appreciate your incredible interest in indian music🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
This is latha. All the best for your future.
Actually even the Indian musicians have started using A 440 Hz tuning for all instruments. In the past 300 years, the Indian music has adopted the western tuning to A 440 Hz (mostly for convenience. In reality, Indian instruments can be set to any frequency by setting the tonic or key of the piece to a certain frequency and the rest of the notes in that mode will fall relative to the tonic). Today's Carnatic (South Indian Musical Tradition) and Hindustani (North Indian Musical tradition) musicians use C, D, E, F, G, A, B as a means of communicating which key or tonic the piece is going to be performed in. That long vertical instrument is called Tanpura. It's the drone instrument that sets the tonic or key of the entire musical piece. Traditional Indian music doesn't change the key of the musical piece in between performance. Once a concert starts in a certain scale/key, it ends with that key. Carnatic musicians hold the violin vertically downwards because it's easier to execute a lot of the ornamentations with that holding technique. There are glides that go from C to G to C (and such similar transitions) multiple times per second. Doing that while holding the violin up in the air below the chin is difficult but not impossible. So violin is usually securely held (while sitting down) to make it easier for the musician to concentrate on the actually ornamentation techniques rather than worrying about holding the violin up. Also, Carnatic and Hindustani concerts last for about 3 hours at a time. So a comfortable position is mandatory.
Happy April Fool's day stupids
Lots of love from India
❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Do react to Agam band. They do progressive carnatic
There are different techniques used in Carnatic music system. These techniques are called Gamakas, which embellish the the notes in a specific scale to emote the feelings. These Gamakas (there are 10 of them) are similar to the techniques used in western music system like thrills, upward slide, downward slide, glide, jumping, hitting a note from previous note etc., Since Gamakas are used quite often, the violin players of Carnatic system rests the the scroll on the ankle. This gives them a chance to release the thumb which helps to move their left hand freely on the finger board to play Gamakas with much ease.
The long instrument is a drone instrument called 'Tanpura or Tambura'., The lower part of which is nothing but dried Pumpkin used as a resonator.
Hey rick lets recommend each other we will recommend one eastern classic as we do now you recommend us a western classic on the end of the video it will be a good exchange of art
On the note of string instruments I heavily recommend you to listen to veena, I am sure you will be thanking me for that.
The instruments are ghatam (looks like a pot), mridangam (the spindle shaped instrument covered in a cloth), veena (to maintain scale), violin. Mridangam is a percussion instrument. It's called Indian Scat vocals and the traditional term is Konnakol.
The singer Aruna Sairam is improvising in the ragam (or melodic framework) called Shanmukhapriya, which has the same scale as the Western minor scale, but with the augmented fourth instead of the perfect fourth. The violinist and the vocalist take turns to improvise, although the violinist sometimes also follows what the singer is doing almost simultaneously, although, obviously, not perfectly, as it is impromptu.
The long vertical tanpura (or tamburu) provides a drone like in bagpipes, and is tuned in fourths and fifths. The violin is supported on the foot to allow the left hand to move rapidly to produce the necessary appreggios and glissandos.
The particular piece you listened to is a part of the second 'movement' of a 3-movement improvisational piece in Shanmukhapriya -- this second movement is called tanam. It is almost entirely improvised within the rules of the ragam.
I hope these remarks answer the questions you had.
Is that any thing that grandma Rick doesn't know about?? 🤔
Music.. Acting.. Sports! Great..
Aman Makwana 😘
Yes I was screaming Ravi Shankar... Hahaah... You MUST react to his daughter's videos... She is a fantastic sitar player.. sitar is the instrument he played as well... Btw Norah Jones is his daughter too!!!! Some facts for ya 😉! But please please please do react if possible to Anushka Shankar live or any of her songs really.. she also has performed with her father live... Thank you! Loving your reactions! And you got all the pronunciations right btw!!!! 😁 I am trained in Carnatic Vocal music myself... M. S. Subbalakshmi garu is a legend of Carnatic classical music. Her song Bhaja Govindam and her Venkateshwara suprabhatam are by far the best!!!!!
There are multiple varieties of classical music. This is just one fo them. The diversity in music is mind boggling.
The Raga is the scale that is used in a particular piece. What she sang is a portion of the Raagam-thaanam- Pallavi which explores the Raagam/ Raaga/ scale. The ability to sing this is considered as having almost mastered the art of Carnatic Music.
The word Carnatic is means "From Karnataka" which is where I'm from.
This is a Jugal bandhi where the singer & musicians compete. The vocalist first gave a challenge then the violinist played the exact raga(very roughly translated to tune) in next the vocalist would complete with all instruments & on the go do variations for which the other has to properly follow.
The long string instrument is tamburi, the percussion instrument is mrudanga.
@ashwin subramanya: carnatic does not mean that it is from Karnataka! Karna means ears. The word means something that soothes the ears. Nothing to do with a landscape.
And it's not a jugalbandi. It's called a tank avartanam.
@@johnutube5651 Carnatic is karnataka.major part of South India was called Karnata kingdom(which is known by its capital Vijayanagara) in medieval times.why do you think British called Carnatic wars for the wars they fought in that region ? The name Carnatic properly refers to the region occupied by the kannada-speaking people, which roughly corresponds to the modern Indian state of karnataka (formerly Mysore).
That's a first. Never seen anyone react to carnatic music.
Do you know that most of the portion is imaginative (like raga alapana, swarams) and nothing is jointly practiced? The musicians just get together without knowing what the main singer is gonna sing. Yet its magic in the 3 hour concert 😊
That tall long instrument is called Tambur or Tanpura.
It gives a supportive notes only.
