React to toofan song🔥 from kgf chapter 2 in Kannada language.
The name of the piece is Kalinga Narthana Thillana, while the name of the series is Vande Guru Paramparam (Salutations to our Gurus)
You MUST react to Ganesh Pancharatnam by Kuldeep Pai ft. a younger Sooryagayathri!
hi guys, this is for my bro who loves percussion...check this insanity of rhythm....raw from nature....
czcams.com/video/-V1GeHtRCpg/video.html
Kindly please react to this video on classical dance with classical music : czcams.com/video/JWhA3ldZcyY/video.html

Dear Efra.... The above music section is a Jamming Radio Station call NOW. A bunch of musician share music with Singer Songwriters..and jam together without any prepare or rehersal... Pracically all LIVE no recording involve.. This is for you and Waleska... Enjoy the music.
About section is singer songwriter Kim Feel.. He has the most charming and unbelivable vocal tonality, i bet Waleska gonna fallen in love with his voice 😊
A lot of singer songwriters participate on this radio live streaming..such as AKMU, Heize, 10CM and more..
It's not "tabla" . it is "mirudangam" the whole song is devotional one and it requires plenty of practice with deep bhakthi (means devotion) It is Lord krishna kalinga nardanam.
Mridangam is varied by states,
Cause Maharashtrain mridangam needs wet wheat mix flour to get bass
Kanjira and Mridhamgam both are used in the song.
Yes Kanjira too used
Maharashtrian mrudang is same as Pakhwaj used in Hindustani and Dhrupad classical music.
Actually tabla is also used in this composition when Rahul sings.
Indian Classicals are refined by several thousands of years.....very unique, ancient and beautiful like other worldly.
You folks should try to request an interview with Kuldeep Pai. He will try to explain in a manner that musically challenged people would understand the Indian classical music both Carnatic or Hindustani. Good luck.
Definitely good idea
yes
Musically challenged 😂😂😂
musically challenged? Dude you are rude and insulting or maybe you don't know proper English
Beautiful 👍
The philosophy behind varying tempo lies in the theme of the song. This song represents a vicious fight between Lord Krishna and an aggressive large snake (named Kalinga) to subdue the snake as it was troubling common folk along the river front. So this song tries to represent auditorily the progression of the fight - sometimes waxing, other time waning, sometimes showing the aggression in the fight and other times subduing. The sounds represent the progression of this fight. There were a few percussion instruments involved - mridangam, thavil, Kanjira and manjira ( small handheld cymbals). The title of the song “Kalinga Nartana” means dancing with Kalinga
Lol. As someone who studied Bharatanatyam as a kid, I find their reaction so enlightening because I took so much for granted. Tillanna is a crucial part of thr training.
Same!!! I'm still in 4th year tho...
Some basics in western parlance: they are doing three things vocally
1) singing actual lyrics to melody
2) vocalising rhythm with onomatopeic words likes "dhin dhinaka taka tum" (the guru/teacher does a lot of this in this video; this is also used a lot by Indian percussion players and dance teachers to codify rhythmic patterns (like "scales") - Ustaad/maestro Zakhir Hussain also used it in the Horse gallop)
3) "spoken word/rap" kind of rhythmic sentences (of limited melodic nature)
These three styles of speech are found in all Indian classical music.
You almost never hear the raga (analogous to the western scale sung acapella) itself in the song.
But sometimes singers do sing the raga in acapella using the Indian notes (not Do Re Mi... But instead Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni) when they want to do the "cadenza" part of the song that is a brilliant flourish of notes to show musical prowess of the artist and adorn the composition at will, sometimes improvising on the spot.
Eurhythmics (physical gesticulation of rhythm) is relatively new to western music, although it is universal and instinctual. But in Indian music, students are told to first keep beat with their hand in early years... It is part of training and encouraged.
Which talam is it?
this is articulated really well, thanks
@@boongadnaik8202 if you count, you'll notice it is in duple time. Whether simple duple or quadruple, in western depends on the location of the accent/stress/emphasis. Here it is in adi taal (8 beat), which is similar to 2/2 or 4/4 in western music.
🙏🙏🙏
brilliant! well narrated , thank you.
Sound of Sanskrit language is the basis of Raga, this magic is created because of the scientist nature of this language.
This song is devotion and chanting to worship Lord Vishnu ( His Krishna Avatar) and mridangam is used as the basis instrument.
Kuldeep Pai is morden torch bearer of classical music.
The dance of Nataraja.
Lol the pfp and username
@@sloverbed9295 CZcams excessive censorship of anything related to China forced me to opt for this method. They can't hide username from comment section 💪🏻 Narrative of truth must reach to everyone #Information_warfare
@@harishkiran3663 what??the dance if natraj is tandav and this is not tandav
@@shreshth6841 samskritham is dance of Nataraja
A Tillana is actually a rap indeed (centuries old rap)
Kalinga Narthana Thillana
Raga: Gambheera Nattai
Talam: Adi (eight beats)
Esta en 8 tiempos con avartanas de 32 (por eso saben cuando entrar)
Konnakol es el arte que explica todo esto, es lo que se estudia antes de entrarle a instrumentos de percusión 🥰
"It is in 8 times with avartanas of 32 (so they know when to enter)
Konnakol is the art that explains all this, it is what is studied before entering percussion instruments" ! Wow! When and where did you learn these things?
This makes me really proud of Indian culture.
Guys you are slowly understanding the basics of indian classical music. You know what a Raag is. But what you maybe missing is Taal! Its Time cycle. Both North Indian and SouthIndian classical music and dance have the underlying basis of Taal. These are various time cycles.. ranging from 4beats, 7beats, 8, 11.5 etc etc. Most common in north indian is Teen Taal (16beats time cycle)@;# South indian would be Adi Taal (8beats). This is where you are getting confused as to how they find their placing on where to start.
The basis of this taal has a bit of a different usage in north and south.
North music basically states that the main end or ‘SAMM’ of the composition or short improv is the 1st beat of the timecycle. So the composition may start at 1st beat or any beat of a timecycle, but has to end on the 1st beat of the new time cycle.
South music is similar but the emphasis is for it to end on the last beat of the time cycle.
When you see then maintaining beats on their hands.. its basically keeping the time cycle. Every time cycle has its own hand beats sequence which allows the singer to know where in the time cycle they may be.
As time cycles vary, so do the compositions, where they may start and the hand movements to denote the timecycle. But end remains the same - to arrive on ‘sam’ is the greatest achievement for indian musicians. The search for ‘sam’ is their goal.
The time-cycle (like clockwork) remains the same for the duration of the composition and is usually kept by the harmonium or some other string instrument. Everything else is then on top..the Raag, the composition, the singing, the improv etc etc..
i hope this helps
This is very codified language. There is a written script which allows the musicians to note the timecycle of the composition. Imagine keeping time cycle of 11.5beats which is called
Ashta-Mangal.. with that 0.5beat extra.. so the singer has the hands beating in a certain way so they know where they are in that beats cycle.
This time cycle then has also Laya or speed. Usually in 3 - slow, medium and fast. So x1, x2, x4 .. but thats for another time hehehe
Thank u for the explanation. Really appreciated
Have zero knowledge of music but listening to them bring tears to eyes. And they are singing this as a devotion to God Krishna. It is another level of penance. Connection with God through music.
No doubt these kids are amazing but if you really want to experience the amazing expression on the same composition then listen to Aruna Sairam jee. This composition is called "Kalinga Narthana Thillana". This song is discription of the dance of Lord Krishna, when kid, on the hoods of a giant serpent.
Very true. You will actually be able to visualize the dance steps and even visualize exactly when kaliya the serpent leaves with a hiss there.
second this
You are absolutely wrong. With all due respects to Aruna Sairam...This is 100 times better
You guys reeaaallly need to do one which is just for the percussionists... "Indian drum vs African drum with Pape Samory Seck"
8:48 - That's not a Tabla, that's a Mridangam. Mridangam, like Tabla, is also a percussion instrument that is predominantly used in Carnatic music (South India Classical) along with Ghatam and Kanjira, while Tabla is used in Hindustani music(North India Classical) along with Pakhavaj.
chenda a Kerala percussion instrument also used in some parts
Many may not know that this duo of the girl and the boy are most celebrated youngsters of the recent times in South Indian classical music. They both started their career in a humble way and reach such heights. The reason why the Latinos are surprised is because the world hasn't seen music of different corners of the world yet. Incidentally, this kind of rendition of Swaram (nearest explanation in English is the combination of Do Re Mi......) in a racy and melodious manner is centuries old in South Indian Music.
Every time I listen to these children....I cry of happy tears😃🙏
You both have a lot of musical sense! I love the way you are able to feel and get a sense of the music which is alien to you! By the way good job man with getting the beats/tempo right for a long time with your hand👌🏻And I guess when you try singing some Indian music stuff, you get more close with your tune/pronunciation than other foreign guys who react on similar things👏🏻 Looking forward to see you react on more of Indian music & other music around the globe 😊
Hiii guys i think you knows 1% of Indian music .Indian music was 100 years of history this is one of The rich culture music amazing
you guys reactions awesome. you are totally speechless..... this is the beauty for carnatic classical music..... nothing in this world equal to this kind of music.
this is perhaps the best discussion on music that i have ever heard
You need to NOTICE ' Lord Krishna dancing on serpent heads'..
The philosophy behind varying tempo lies in the theme of the song. This song represents a vicious fight between Lord Krishna and an aggressive large snake (named Kalinga) to subdue the snake as it was troubling common folk along the river front. So this song tries to represent auditorily the progression of the fight - sometimes waxing, other time waning, sometimes showing the aggression in the fight and other times subduing.

The title of the song “Kalinga Nartana” means dancing with Kalinga
You cannot put a finger on why our classical music and dance is so sublime because they have an ethereal quality as in each one of the pieces praises our gods or goddesses ! The musical notes we believe was a divine gift to humanity . In our culture especially classical music and dance is dedicated in praise to our gods and goddesses 🙏🏼🌸🙏🏼🌸
Konnakol es el "estilo" de música que mencionas, es el nombre del arte vocal de ritmos que hacen al "marcar" con las manos ( no se puede explicar en un comentario solo jeje pero es lo que quieren encontrar) 👍
This is South Indian Classical music called Karnatic music. The piece they sang was for a classical dance form Bharat Natyam. The dance is called Thillana. Wording are from a song around which the whole score is constructed. The percussion Beats used are as per the demand of the song and Raga.
Nice to have heard you react. The song describes dance of Krishna on a five headed serpent and so has a lot of percussion kind of lyrics to describe his dance steps even with beautiful Sanskrit woven together . Sung perfect by great Sri Pai sir with Gayathri and Rahul the prodigies of Carnatic classical music a heritage of India❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
You, my friends, have a great sense of deduction. You seem to grasp the fundamental mechanisms behind these compositions. You just seem to be able to figure it out with your basic sense of rhythm and melody, being a singer and a percussionist. Keep going with your instinct. You are doing great. 👌
Before western people found out about music... My country India had already became a pro in it 😂 even basic stuff of India will blow these foreign countries people's mind out...
For a good combination of classical dance and music, you should definitely react to choreography by Sayani chakroborty like- 'Aye giri nandini' and 'Tandav dance'
This song is a specific type of Carnatic music piece called a Thillana. It focuses on the vocalisation of rhythm, which is why it characteristically has many rhythmical complexities woven into it. In a Carnatic music concert (which is something I'd highly recommend you attend, I'm sure there are many happening in London), the Thillana is typically sung as the last or second-last piece. It also has a similar counterpart in Bharata Natyam (South Indian classical dance style), where the complex and intricate rhythms are demonstrated through dance. You've actually already reacted to a Thillana: Agam's Dhanashree Thillana!
As always, loving these reactions!
Watched you react to this on the podcast but I'm gonna watch again because you guys are maybe one of the only ones on YT who react to ours and others cultures respectfully. There are tonnes of Bollywood reacts but most of them are just reacting to laugh at us.
I'm not immensely patriotic or culturally devoted to Indian culture and tradition but I don't insult and laugh at other peoples culture moreso when I have no idea why they are doing or acting the way they are.
What disturbs me more is that if you point out the problem we have with these other peoples reactions to our culture and traditions they call us sensitive and triggered. To see you two react so respectfully and considerately, is so welcome and I thank you guys truly from the heart for doing it this way. You're a credit to your parents that they raised such respectful and considerate children. Thank You.
When one hears the music of an ancient civilization, one understands that we, at present, are at a highly regressed state of civilizational development. We're used to thinking that early mankind was immature and that we're advanced. Nothing could be further from the truth-the exact opposite is true. We're barbaric; the ancients were civilized. They lived in realisation of natural laws; we lived immersed in fakery. South India is the repository of ancient Indian traditions-the debt of gratitude that we owe these great artists, their cultural foundation and their gurus is beyond measure. I'm thankful and I'm proud.
Once you peel the layer of rhythm, lyrics, story, language. Grammar, dance. Raaga etc.. you will only then understand how developed ancient idia was
This is such a wholesome and beautiful reaction I needed badly! Thanks for this. I've been trying to find reactions on this video from others but urs gives this satisfaction ❤️
Have been listening to their classical music for a long time, I really loved the way you both described the music in a real professional way and your respect for Indian classical music. 🕉️🙏
Music and dance forms originated in India/Bharat clearly!
Love you both for your passion for music and appreciating music from all over the world. Indian Carnatic music is thousands of years old. These kids practice several hours a day to get to this level. They are superb. Once again thank you for posting this video and love your enthusiasm. Take care and be safe!
You have no idea about Indian classical music, it dates back to several thousands of years! The best part is, unlike other civilizations ours hasn't faded away along with time! 😁
It is actually an 8-beat broken up into two halves of four beats. Each of the four beats is further split in half - giving a total of sixteen beats to work with. So a pada (a musical sentence) that is, say 7 beats long can start on half beat 10 and end on full beat 16. The beauty of the thillana form is that the sentences correspond to the exact percussion which matches the dancer's feet. How cool is that?
The best review of music videos I have seen. Good analysis and explanation of technicalities.
Please do not forget the lyrics.. these words are from sanskit and every word they spelled has a meaning..
love the way of ur analysis.. amazing sensible and clear technicality in talking 👏🏽👏🏽 not some fake reaction channels , genuine musicians with interest
love to all my south brother i live in delhi.
guys you are the true ancient indian.
DAMN, long time fan of Indian classical music here. Italian-Canadian so I don't understand what's being sung, but "It's not even singing. It's getting down to the root of music itself when it comes to Indian classical music" is the best description I have EVER heard! I love this video 🥰
That is Hinduism. What we experienced is a drop from ocean of milk and honey of Hindu music,sustained from ages.
Keep this religious praising nonsense out of this. This is music, not religion.
@@Blaze6432 Please keep your ignorance aside.... classical Indian is part of hinduism as much as sufi is to Islam. what's your prob??? why so repulsive for his comment??
@@insearchoffreedom4933 Maybe 3rd world morons from shithole countries shouldn't comment trying to associate all classical music to a religion. Hinduism is not a music style.
@@Blaze6432 Carnatic music's origin IS religious (and specifically, Hindu religious)..period. This isn't pop music. If you want to keep 'religious nonsense' out then you first keep yourself out from any video of Carnatic music. :P
@@Blaze6432 this composition on Sri Krishna was born of deep devotion to Krishna by the saint Composer Oothukkaadu Venkata kavi many centuries ago. It is said when he composed Krishna danced for him. It was kept alive all these years by that same devotion to Him, & to the art by succeeding generations. Don't listen to Indian classical Music if you want to separate our Music from our Devotion. That is like separating Sweetness from Sugar.
Loving to hear your favourite song is one thing but it's also a joy to hear discussion on your favourite song ❤️
Music has no language. If we have emotions and sensibility, then we are going to understand and be one with the music. It goes to your credit that you listen to music from different regions. You are already winners.
Indian music is bigger than indian ocean.. its a drop....from our kids which you are hearing now...its 5000 years older..... 🙏🙏🙏
I'm happy you people appreciate Indian classical. Indian classical is a Ocean. Incredible India isn't it.
Blessed are the parents of these beautiful little singers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don't know if somebody else had said this. This piece was composed in 17th century by Uthukkadu Venkatakavi. They are being unearthed and sung by generations.
India is a whole world in itself...fun fact...in every 100 km language and traditiona and culture changes...we indians need translator when going to different states sometime
The name of the piece is Kalinga Narthana Thillana, while the name of the series is Vande Guru Paramparam (Salutations to our Gurus)
You MUST react to Ganesh Pancharatnam by Kuldeep Pai ft. a younger Sooryagayathri!
Percussion instruments like tabla have phrases made of onomatopoeic words corresponding to each stroke. People playing the instruments have to study these phrases and combinations.
Classical singers also learn it . Especially in Carnatic music, singers can do the fill with fixed combinations onomatopoeic words. The percussionist will know what they are vocalising and play the corresponding strokes. That is why both are so intertwined with each other.
Classical singers also use phrases made of musical notes. These phrases be it for percussionist or vocalist is fixed. There are fixed combinations and do's and don'ts .
It is an enigma that despite being so structured the music itself sounds very free flowing😅.
Really enjoyed this reaction, thanks so much! If you're interested in checking out classical dance to this piece (Kalinga Nartana Tillana), watch Rukmini Vijayakumar on the Raadhakalpa Dance Company channel. She's my favorite! She's a bharatanatyam dancer but also has training in ballet and other western dance forms. All her performances are amazing but especially love Namami Yoga-Vidye, which showcases the relationship between yoga and dance really beautifully (and its an incredibly well-made video).
React to "Shiva tandav stotram" at least once. And see the translation and meaning of the lyrics. 🙏
This is music to the ears of people who love music and know how amazing this is.
The icing on the cake woyld be see a great dancer dancing to this performance!!
Her Name is Soorya Gayathri she is outstanding please check her Other songs
Want more reaction to Indian classical music
Carnatic music is divine.
Sometimes classical dance called Bharatnyam is performed with this kind of music. Might want to check some out.
This the poetic version of how Bhagavan Krishna danced on hood of dreadful snake Kaaliya. It is called " Kaaliya Mardhnam( thumping) "
Finally you guys are reacting to masterpiece....of Indian culture
React to more from these kids, they are a delight.
You guys are awesome, i'm sure you will enjoy listening to this master piece.
Please react to the song called "Thank you India" from Tibat. ❤️
I love this song and I loved your reaction
it is an 16 beat cycle broken up into two sets of 8 further broken up as two sets of 4. Essentially, there are 16 beats that can be filled with 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s with half beats in between.
Efra, this is absolutely insane. I love the beats of this song. I think what you’re getting a little bit confused about is the time cycle of classical Indian songs. Some of them have four beats, while others are in two, three, or seven. It really depends on what you are listening to. For example, Abhi Mujh Mein Kahen is in the time signature of seven. I hope this helps.
They have practice and hand and mind coordination that's very impressive ❤
I was trying to recommend you this for long time.but Don't know the name. Now very happy to see your reaction 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
Greatness of Indian classical music. Super
it's like deja vu all over again
They know because they practice for hours for many years along with the talent inherited from birth from previous lives.
This piece is essentially describing the dancing rhythms of little Krishna and is perfect accompaniment for a classical dance piece.
Power of Indian classical music.... Karnatik and Hindusthani
Genuine reaction👍👍👍
Even my jaw dropped watching it ..dont know how i missed this masterpiece till now❤️❤️
Yes Indian music has thousands of years history. It's a great scientific discovery in the field of music .our scientists are rishis who discovered the arts with great focus thapas,thapas , where the nature reveals the secrets of the subjects .b cas we worship the nature ,when the nature is pleased with the person who is pursuing any knowledge about any subject it will reveals to him.
Father, Son and Daughter
They are passionate about music and about whatever they are doing. They have deep spirituality rich in them.
They are tapping their thighs to control the tempo, the scale. The same my music teacher taught to us.
Indian classical music 🎶 once you dip in.., it’s difficult to get out…🥰🥰
I love this reaction 👏👏👏👏👏
Divine ❤
The composition is a Tillana, a classical dance composition usually bharatanatyam dancers dance to it. So there are a lot of dance phrases in it
This song dedicated to lord krishna. Spiritual song❤
It's miracle and unique. Indian are great and unique ❤❤🚩🚩🙏🙏🙏
This is infact used for south indian classical dance, def search for Thillana dance, this musical piece will go with the dance
i enjoyed how much you enjoyed this
Outstanding performance
It shows extreme devotion to music
Singing so much with ease at such a n young age can happen only with the Gtace of God and the Guru ( the teacher)
This my favorite devotional classical Indian music 🎶 ❤❤❤❤ Karnataka classical music is paradise with Devnagari language( Sanskrit).
Carnatic - Not karnataka!
@@cmohanc Sorry.
If you learn Carnatic Music Then It's is easy to Learn World wide songs easily
Thillana is a music piece created for dance.
You should see this song being performed in eith Bharathanatyam or Kuchipudi to understand the śolkottu or Konnaōḷ & even the song better.
I used to skip the talking in the reaction videos but you are different. you guys are really coming to subject in the video ...
I really liked to watch your reaction 👍
The instrument used is not tabla here it is mridangam. It is an instrument used in South India. You should check pathri satheesh kumars videos to see it's beauty of playing. He also played a dual with zaakir hussain

Thank you guys for listening to this worship melody of karnatic music 👍👍
As I know the music in India at ancient times was meant for praying in places of worship. Sam Veda is the is for this devotion. Classical musicians know it better. I do wish to know more about Sam Veda
