20 years of devotion like a monk then only you can scratch 1% of the Classical Indian music, that's how you can learn it...
So no one ever goes beyond 3-4% in their whole lifetime !! Don't know how you got this figure...
@@MsDowntoearth11 bro....there is no need of figure because every figure will be limited....Indian Classical music is endless.
@@MsDowntoearth11 you can sing one raga for as long as possible. Some Great masters even after the their whole life told that they couldn't understand even one raag properly in their whole life.
Any music in general, is endless. Not just our classical music. Western classical is similar.
@@justhangingaround804 you didn't get my point....i am not underestimating any other form of music.....western music h limitation as it has no to very less scope fpr improvisation....because its written music....whereas in Raga music there is 5 percent written and 95 percent improvisation......you cant play a piece by Beethoven or mozart for hours n hours....but a raga can be played for hours depending on the skill of musician.
Hey Carl,
Thanks for covering this. Kaushiki ji is one of India's finest classical musicians. Just so you know, such performances are not rehearsed to a script. These are sung impromptu on stage. Let me explain. This piece is based on Raga Bhimpalasi. A raga is a combination of musical notes and is sung in one scale for any given composition (some compositions may have scale changes). Similarly, the rythm is also set for either the entire piece, like in this case it is 16 beats. It can also vary with portions of the composition. This is not a lyrical. It is note based. In Indian Classical music we have ascending and descending 7 musical notes just like Do Re Me...These are - Sa re ga ma pa dha ni (ascending) and sa ni dha pa ma ga re (descending).
Raag Bhimpalasi is a pentatonic raga which goes like - :ni sa ga ma pa: ni sa (asc 5) and :sa ni dha pa ma ga re: sa (des 7).
When Kaushiki ji sings, she sings keeping in mind two things, the notes for ascension and descent are aligned to the above structure of the raga in all possible combinations (there are more technicalities, perhaps beyond the scope of this platform) and they get set into the beat pattern (You'll see the tempo increases or decreases based on the number of notes she sings per beat cycle). The same notes are sung in the above combination, mostly across 3 octaves of the selected scale. Such performances can go on for hours and usually last for the entire night at times. The singers do not think and sing. They have practised to a level that their throat (vocal chords, larynx, diaphragm, lungs etc.) develops a motor memory and can intelligently churn out the right notes and form a melody like a musical instrument.
This is the essence of vocal (or instrumental) training in Indian classical music. Each and every sound the performer makes is an independent musical note!
Keep going, cheers..
Loved your explanation 👌!
Nicely put.
Nicely explained!
Excellent explanation!
Yup.. Do your homework karl 🌚
Eminem: I'm the fastest rapper on the planet.
Kaushiki Chakraborty: hold my tea . . .
It's not rap it sargam
IGNORANT.
@Depressed Introvert yes we know but he is talking about the speed
Sarcasm
Sargam and rapping is different like sun and moon. Fully different things. Not all fast speaking is rapping.
Something to add: at 4:32 she doesn't change the overall tempo - notice that she goes from singing in double time (2 notes per beat) to singing in 1.5 time (3 notes per two beats) for a full 16 beats. Such nested timing is extremely common in classical music. For example, as a tabla player, in a 16 beat "parent" taal, I can play repeated 5-beat "daughter" taals with one beat spacing in between, and nest another 7 beat taal inside each of those 5 beat taals as well (7*4 is 28, a "half beat" in between each will give 30 being nested inside 5 - so it's played six times as fast as the parent tempo with a a twelfth beat of spacing in between each segment of 7 one-third beats). It can get very mathematically complex very quickly, and even this explanation may not be enough to show how that complexity works.
But suffice it to say that concerts (and even individual songs in concerts) are simultaneously very structured and not structured at all. There are three "speeds" in Indian classical singing - slow, medium, and fast. This video starts off medium and transitions to fast. You'll notice that as she's singing, the harmonium player is riffing off her riffs as well. This is known as "jugalbandi" - playing off of the other artist's creation in real-time. And it is the pinnacle of Indian music.
The ability to have a conversation with another artist - a singer, percussionist, violinist, harmonium player - sitting across from or next to you on stage not only requires a deep technical knowledge of the taal and the raag in which the composition is set, but also a very keen understanding of the moods of your fellow performers AND the audience. A bad jugalbandi leaves everyone feeling unsatisfied, like an awkward encounter at a party. A great jugalbandi, on the other hand, naturally reaches a crescendo where thought disappears and the entire stage becomes one harmonious unit. When that happens, the audience gets drawn in and completely loses any sense of time whatsoever - all the while, the musicians have a running clock in their minds that only comes back to the foreground when, as you said, the piece winds to a close by itself and it is necessary for everybody to be on the same page.
This is indian classical music...takes whole life to practice that composition they make on stage directly in any particular raga...proud
I only have half a life left but I really enjoyed this.
Just try once to sing ths. Trust me you will understand how hard it is. Years and years of practice.... they worship music.
These english men are not going underatand True Music.
Yeah thats truth
@@vishwajeetujjwal brother sorry to say but they well understand music. you know we use harmonium and many musical Instruments are invention of these English man's beautiful chords and progression and beautiful beats and other technical things are from western music.
Some how I agree with u, but plz once campare the sweetest tone of veena , sitar, tabla , dholak ghanti dhamroo taali and flute and even if u know Shankh ETC with other foreign instruments, they only upgraded updated redesigned and modernised. I didnot mean to hurt anybody feelings , yet SATYAMEV JAYTE.
@varun sarwate i said true music, Nd yes it is hard to believe about Tansen ,but assuming as a true just for a sec, so never complain about Indian music , it was richest before their inventions , we donot require all those instruments but people in india believe or they have a mentality of show off , as if they will use somenew and foreign things (that can be anything) indian people think they are more superior than us. Hope i was able to convey my feelings. Thanks.
music manners: don't do comments when the music plays or artist performs
Right 👍🙏👌
Right
100% correct..music should be enjoyed first and later commented on.
Ikr
Right.. True.. Stupid reactions idiot
Not tea in between probably , it's just water 😂
And how they sit crossed leg is how we sit during prayers, classical music is equal to praying God
No shoes allowed in music room
I
its tea. since tea is warm its good when singing.
first of all, it isnt live performance that he is watching live and he the purpose of the video is to comment and react.
This is core classical music, this is the base of indian music,,,
Yes true..that is exactly what I wanted to comment..
@@karmeeleon Indian Classical music, or Shastriya Sangeet, is ancient, and a continuation of the same ancient source and performing spiritual tradition. The two branches we now know as 'Hindustani' and 'Carnatic' only came into existence in the 16th century as a result of the political and socio-cultural turmoil brought by the onset of Islamic rule in India. The core is the same for both, only the expression and performance parameters are different. For instance, Hindustani classical is more a display of creativity via improvisation, and Carnatic is more like a recital - though this distinction is also rather fluid.
I totally did not expect you to react to her ❤️. This is pure classical (Hindustani classical to be precise) 😊❤️.
credit goes to me 😉
Mohit ...thanks man
❤️❤️❤️
I recommend him this piece a few hours back along with a sarod piece from Debasmita Bhattacharya, my school senior!
I much rather him react to this kind of music than Bollywood rubbish. Now he needs to react to qawwali
Carl, unless you make a detailed study of how Indian classical music works, it will all sound a confused combination of sounds. But it is highly systematic, and almost mathematical.
A raaga is not a song. If I were to give a parallel, I would say, it is a formula of mathematics and based on this formula you can produce any number of individual sums. There are thousands of raagas. Each raaga is a pattern of musical notes that one has to adhere to while improvising phrases of the notes. It is literally a language that you need to know in order to understand it. Otherwise, like listening to someone talking in a language unknown to you, it will appear to be a meaningless jabber.
It is great that you have all through maintained a positive attitude towards the raaga played by Kaushiki Ji. To reach her level of perfection, you need to start at the age of 3 or 4 and then practice several hours every day. She glides over notes without missing a note or bringing a note that does not belong to the raaga she is singing. Such perfection is not easy.
May be instead of mathematical formula, if you had given the example of syntactic structures it would have been much more appropriate. Raags in indian classical music indeed have structures which are like the ones one can see in programming languages.
I am interested with this one - can you just give a few hints - cause I am programmer and felt she sang so beautifully - that I am interested with everything about raga.
@@vikramjhurry2084 I just wanted to say that, like for programming languages we have context free grammar for raags also we have something similar. A raag obviously gives you, a subset of the twelve notes that you can use. Now for any note chosen at any instant it gives you a viable set of notes that you can choose from, and it goes on as long as you want it to. Now for songs for a given note you have only one note following that, but for a raag hardly would there be a situation where one will be left with only one choice. So if for any raag you can figure out for all notes it consists of the probable successive set of notes, and then you assign them different probability depending on their rate of occurrence and sample from that given distribution, you can get stuff that sounds like what the woman in the video is singing at a very high tempo. I have tried this and it works. You also might try your hands on it.
@@aniruddhasarkar6551 thanks
Correct
She said it in Bengali, " Jore" which mean "faster".... In this case she told the tabla artist to pick up the tempo.
Ektu jorey
No actually she asked to hold the tempo as it went up too fast too soon. She wouldnt say ‘ektu jorey’ to someone who wouldnt probably understand bengali.
They don't learn those sequences by heart. They improvise on the spot. With all the practice that Indian classical musicians do, it becomes instinctual to improvise. Every concert is different. The raga system of music that we have here makes it almost intuitive and natural to start doing these extended phrase explorations. Every Indian musician goes through this training. It helps us understand the concept of music and gives us the tools needed to create music (not just perform a composed piece).
P.S. Watch this "The extremely talented Sid Sriram guiding his child prodigy Rahul Vellal" This is usually how training goes (although this is a very informal lesson here)
Exactly
The seven notes in Indian classical music correspond to seven chakras (plexuses) inside a human being. A ragaa is a pattern of these notes (sometimes including and excluding the notes). Each ragaa invokes a particular mood, element, emotion and has a particular time to be sung even season....
Masters were said to control even the seasons and rains through ragaa rendition.....
It can’t be explained.... personally I like the dhrupad style of singing.....said to be sung by gandharvaas (celestial singers) in front of Lord shiva....there’s no show off and no accompanying....it’s just ur soul and throat....it’s very slow....fast taans are easy(what she sung) but slow singing is very very difficult....check out rag Adana (Shiva Shiva)
Also addition to this, I'd like to say the raagas are based of off 10 thaats.
Actually it really depends on the performer. There are some khyal singers who sing a non virtuoso style and dhrupad singers who cannot explore the depths of a raga quite as well... It does not depend on the genre but the style and performer, afterall khyal was performed by dhrupadiyas in courts. Nowadays some audiences expect this show off of tans (which are not easy as you say, just a little too exterior) but please listen to bada khyal of some performers and you will get a different impression. I do listen to all genres without prejudices
P S almost all of that is pure nonsense
Tejas Nair Denial and acceptance, love and hate, Being and non-Being.....choosing one only validates the other because of polarity......any concept, however alien to logic or reason, only exists in imagination because of an original copy somewhere. My statements are based on an interview by Bismillah khans guru, wherein he said he has figured out how ragas and Raginis can move a person to tears and he can see the pathway as to how ancient masters controlled elements in the past. I have just bowed to the maestros vast experience in this field and recalled living stories in not so ancient past, giving more than usual credit to these folklores.....
DIVA il Blog di Marged Trumper: I find the tanas easy because I find the support of the next note immediately but singing with thehraav is difficult for me because I find no support of the next note in a particular ragaa. I guess it’s also got to do with the temperament of the person. The more silence there’s inside, the more easy are the drupads....it’s like comparing fast changing rapids to the slow silent sea and I find the depth always challenging, but a silent person might find the rapids difficult......
She reminds me of the sacred River Netravathi that I was sitting by when I was on a trekking expedition.
While it is wonderfull to have all the Indian commentators here explain the enormous complicity of the +5000 years old carnatic music of the Indian subcontinent, I find it rather strange that a professional vocal coach, even though he belongs to another culture and another music world, lacks any basic knowledge about the music he is hearing... It is completely normal that most of the people do not know the details or are absolutely unfamiliar with other cultures and their art forms, but for someone whose profession is music, I do find it rather peculiar that for him even such a famous civilisation and it's globally celebrated music is totally unknown. Due to it's distinctive style, beauty and uniqueness, India's culture actually is instantly recognizable and highly admired by many non-Indian, lay people of this world (like me), so for a professional musician who actually can connect to any ethnic and other musical style on this planet instantly via Internet, not knowing even the name of the classical Indian music or translating "raga" as "style or something like that" is rather strange. My old grandma grew up in the Balkans a 100 years ago, has never seen an Indian person in her entire life and still knew the word "carnatic" music... No offense to anyone, it just struck me as odd.
Amina Ammar That is ok. I appreciate this gentleman trying to learn about Hindustani music now. Maybe he was busy learning other forms of music. Life is a constant learning process. Never too late to learn. Kudos to him for this effort
All good ..small correction ...this music is Hindustani music not carnatic
This is hindusthani....from north india....while Carnatic music comes from south india
We all appreciate that he has the patience to discover new sounds. Shout out to the vocal coach from uk😊
Carnatic music isn't that old , it's just 200 years old invented by venkatamihn and other scholars
She is one of the most famous classical singers in India, this style of singing takes years of training and practice. Her father is one of the most famous teachers in India.
Dibya Ray he’s not only famous teacher but given the ‘pandit’ like ostad
This is called Hindustan classical singing. It takes years to practice. On an average of 12-15 years
@Vikas Lalwani Ustad bade gulam ali khan,who is said to be as second mia tansen, himself told that he was started understanding hindusthani raaga music little bit when he was almost near to his death.so dont say 10-15 years...it is hard to say if someone will be able to become a pure hindusthani classical singer after practicing for years untill it comes from within.even now a days so many renowned classical singers are there who represent taan,alap,akar etc very well but cant represent a raga perfectly, when performing a raaga a fraction of change will be diverted to some other raaga,and that happens randomly in the market in modern time.a tremendous practice,meditation,controlled in lifestyle,conduct,behaviour and most of all a perfect guru is required to be a genuine classical singer. A hindusthani classical singer can sing any king of song in the entire world but no other form of music can assure that.People dont understand the richness of our musical heritage.Once you are able to find the taste you wont leave it for anything else.
Almost all your life and more
"Hindustani", not Hindustan Classical music.
Not average minimum and maximum hole life
Out of curiosity, are you qualified to comment on such legend?
nah he isn't lol
The answer is NO. He has no clue apart from common comments, which i believe an Alien can do as well. 😁😁😁
Omgggg ya'll are so mean. Stop bullying people like this, I'm an Indian myself and I find it digusting that ya'll attack somebody for being new to a culture. I don't see americans attacking Indians for not knowing much about their history or their fight against Europeans or the fact that they literally saved millions of lives during the the holocaust, jesus, some of ya'll are my fellow countrymen and you are such bullies, get a life and be useful to the environment rather than bully an innocent individual eww👁👄👁
@@keertanavinod preach queen 👑
She sings without actually practicing the khyal... She's just so ultimate💖
Loved this so much, my favourite reaction of yours to raga. She's improvising as she goes along .. Ahh India ❤️
Found you here, I'm reacting to comments 👍😉
Carl John Franz Ha! Good, keep going 😇 She's so amazing x
Tbh i felt you had no clue and it was way out if your league.
@Mr. danger stop man be humble.
@Mr. danger there is western singer who sang ore piyaa. very good. so always be humble
The control over the voice of the classical musicians is amazing and demands decades of practices !
"No pretence, no image. Just beautiful." Thumbs up for you, Carl!
Thanking you 👍🏻😉
Raga bhimpalashi is one of the toughest to sing... she does it flawlessly
Music in her blood ! she's the daughter of Pandit Ajay Chakroborty , Master of classical Music .
She is one of the favorite singer of me from Bengal
I am indian and this makes my so proud of my culture..
I have to say I find it amazing that no matter what part of the world you live in.. music brings different people and styles together. Many of Indias best musicians have mastered their indian style of playing and have come to the western side to learn different styles. And it's really cool to seee someone who isnt indian, take interest to see classical indian music, and be open to different styles. I commend you my friend 🙏🙏
I was told . Entire western music n singers are based on two modes , major n minor ,
Whereas as Indian music is based on training more than 300 modes .
Simply put , an Indian music trained singer can break into any western music n song ,
But vice versa is impossible .
As being said that , no one gives a shit about technicalities now we have autotuners .
auto tuners can't make you Indian classical singer. it can only make you honey singh. jo 2-4 saal chalega . classical singing aur Sanskrit chanting aatma ko chuti hai.
@@tejasvi18joshi absolutely . Am no expert , but when listening from proper singers , it feels so blissful .
I meant autotuners earn money nowadays n hardly any are bothered with it .
I don't mind people earning money with AT , but , respect n value of classical shouldn't be berated . slowly classical singing is diminishing in comparison
And there r people who rate auto tuners higher than years hard trained classical singing saying .
It's good to hear n music is nice n what I need . that's it .
That state has to change .
@Vikas G.K Not true, your statement is outright wrong, I am a classical singer (with little training), and a trained western musician. Major, and minor, are the equivalent of Shudh, Komal, and Tivra notes. Theoretically, you could start any western scale at any note, which would explain that it is indeed possible to train at over 300+ scales, (I assume you are referring to alankars here). Granted, many people will stop at about 10 or 12 major scales in western music.
@@Devin_G am always open to correct myself if wrong . No issues there .
I remembered what one music sir said I went in for about few days n couldn't continue for few reasons .
In one of the classes he explained the differences between Western n Indian n that it's always important to understand the essence n roots of music before starting to practice or create it. I just stated what he said .
I believe there's always something to learn n improve .
@@AkashdeepGogoi that was a detailed reply , but most of it was bouncers over my head ...
I mentioned about Indian classical vocals , not music instruments or arrangements .
I stated a point where , authentic Indian classical music (i.e, esp the vocals) is diminishing in india which is a fact
N sadly we don't appreciate our assets n they have to fetch their value outside ,
I said in gist (compressing n not repeating same statements) i was told the range of classical music n vocals are far vast than what Western music has like eg , a trained classical can own Western music , but even a trained Western singer cannot own classical music.
N this I said it not appreciating or depreciating any music form , it's like saying apples are costlier than grapes . Stating it doesn't take away either of their virtues .
Bottom line . We should respect our singers n shine the innate talent .than making them feel inferior to any music or vocal form , esp after advent of autotuners .
As a normal person ,
I judge music or vocals with one criteria . Does it resonate with me ?
Once again , Western isn't bad or Indian is any inferior .
Every music has it's own character .
U agree or not , in India , we are tilting more towards appreciation of Western music n vocals (which is fine ) but at the cost of depreciating classical.
Reason being just as you stated , Indian music has become only Bollywood , n Bollywood music isn't the same without Western .
In turn , you indirectly referred, Bollywood music is being taken over or rather highly influenced by Western , n in the process the Gen of people are depreciating the classical value. As they hardly ever get to have a taste of it .
This was unexpected and very much appreciated.
Great job, Carl.
thank you for being so kind!
It takes 1000yrs to pick a drop in this ocean called HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL MUSIC 🔥🔥🔥.
God Level 🙏
Kaushiki doesn't seem like 1000 years old.
@@ankit1906 😂😂😂
I am listening to this for the 20th time and the lady still manages to make my jaw drop all the way to the floor every time.
What she is singing is called taans and then coming back to the words of the composition "Ja ja re apane mandirava". Taans are basiclly complex arrangements of the notes of the raaga actually sung. Corresponding to the do re mi concept.
Need more Kaushiki reactions please. She is brilliant and amazing.
Freddie Mercury learned how to use his vocal cords in the same manner the way , after all he was taught in India
I appreciate you reviewing. It would be better if you know a little about Hindustani classical Music cause they practically live music. She's been singing since the age of 3. It's hard to master classical music.
It's called Indian classical.sonu Nigam Shreya Ghoshal and most indian singers are trained like that.
No thy are not .
Most indian singers actually are but not to this extent... The precision of pitch changes and that lagato like sway between the notes comes from years of practice everyday similar to tuning and mastering an instrument

This is Pure Indian Classical Music.
That my friend, is the best vocals you will hear from india♥️
Humanly impossible to do with amazing precision!!Wow!!!
Raga refers to mood,colour,flavour..emotion... the meaning varies ... Indian aesthetics is a vast canvas
This mood or Rasa is called "Shringara".. the emotion is love,passion,lust,affection,playful mischief and range of emotions that fall into that bandwidth.
thank you for the details :)
This is just the trailer of the greatness of indian classical music.there is whole movie yet to watch.
She have a strong voice machal1h god bless her. Love from Moroco to India 💕
Thank you Carl for making it popular. Kaushiki is one of the best classical singer in India today.
Wow I can’t believe that you have reacted Kaushiki chakraborty’ raag bhimpalsi I wonder how did you found her dude. She is one of the finest classical singer of India. Everyday I listen to her music. I love Indian classical music alot.
This made me remember the Song Radha Kaise Na Jale . I think that song is based on this raaga.
Indian classical music has a mood and emotion attached to it,
In lyrics she's describing about girl who has to return to her in laws.
Thanks for covering. Further, I agree with one of the comments that it is very hard and time consuming thing to get mastery on Indian classical music. At the same time it is unfortunate that day by day Indian classical music is going towards extinction. Probably it will come back if more ppl like you watch, understand & admire it. I would also suggest to listen to other artists like Bade Gulam Ali Khan Saheb, Bhimsen joshi, Kishori Aamonkar, Gangubai Hangal ........ there used to be so many of them in the past. If I start naming those just I know, names will be in hundreds. Many of them had even ran away from their homes, went to the teachers home, stayed there while doing all the house works and kept learning
this is just elite indian classical music brother..
raag-hindustani.com/Scales1.html
Read this to really understand and appreciate what Raag/Raaga is all about. As a Vocal Coach please understand then react..That way it is a sensible reaction to the music and a proper appreciation to the ability of the performing artist.
You are right. This is absolutely crazy for someone not knowing anything and not taking interest to know even basics like what a raga is, commenting on the music.
One doesn't need to know the technicalities to appreciate any music
@@anaghashyam9845 Appreciate..yes. Critique it, you do need to understand technicalities..
@@anaghashyam9845 This isn't appreciation. When someone analyses music, one needs proper knowledge. I am a performing musician but I don't dare to critique. You need to know musicology and also be able to criticise with substance.
Wonderful dear
Nicely you can feel the song and the expression of Indian classical Sangeet (Song).Thanks. It is harmonious in everyway.
Just Awesome. So Speechless I Am.
Earth -: Western Music and Knowledge
Universe -: Indian Music , knowledge and obviously equipments 😁🙏
She is the best classical singer I have ever listened to 😍
Please listen. Raag darbari by ustad bade Fateh Ali Khan and many more there you will be astonished for sure .
rashid khan?
She sings so lovely. Looks so lovely too. Much respected and loved.
Amazing Carl....thanks
Since I have heard you mention this before I would like to explain this a bit, especially because I have personally been taught by some of the Gurus she has been taught by as well as her father. We are taught from a very young age to not show any discomfort while singing the very high notes. If a singer grimaces while performing, it is taken as a less than pleasing trait in the singer. Hence, you won't find the majority of classically trained singers ever grimacing at a high or any other note.
Please react to "ks chithra" the melody queen of Indian cinema
Love from India 🇮🇳 😍😍🥰
That was absolutely fantastic
You should check out "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane covered by a woman in India singing it note for note.

This is the most difficult style of singing.
All styles are difficult bro
But if u want to learn classic music than u need alot of years nd years i seen people learning classic from 25 years there is no end in classic
@@warriorclan543satshriakal veer ji. yes it true half in a sense. It is like Marshal Arts. karate is difficult but not as much as Thai boxing or MMA. Those are intense forms same here all singing style are difficult but good singer can learn and sing but Indian classical singing it really needs dedication and Years to master it.
@@surtaalrecords4659its complected😀
Varun Sarwate nah that's opera
@@suvratpandit5701 nah nah its Indian classical singing. Suvrat dwivedi are you a singer? If you are talking about loudness or power then opera has more power and strong sounding over Indian classical singing. Opera is difficult but Indian classical singing is THE most difficult.i am not a fan of Indian classical singing nor supporter of it but i always stand for truth.
Thanks Carl, you are introducing indian music to many people. As a western musician you are showing people how good this music and the Artists are. We are greatfull for this.
1000 of years old music style.and still we have it..thanks to her.
To do this what she is doing you need years and years of practice and devotion...
Also you need to listen this with closed eyes in order to feel it
You dont go on speaking 🙄
@3:55 Carl: "I wonder what she said there"
She said "Slow" She wanted the tabla tempo slowed down a bit. You're welcome. And its nice that you're covering the most richest and deepest tradition of Indian Music. That 6 and odd minutes of singing includes a lot of technicalities of the Indian classical music. If you learn all of them and listen to it again, you'll not be in a state to let go of it. :)
35yearsssss of practice & dedicition ..... Can u belive it't!!!
Thanks for shedding light on indian classical music! Its my favorite genera as i also am currently also learning this style
I DON'T THINK YOU QUALIFY TO GIVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT PERFORMANCE. THIS WAS SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING WASNT IT ?
Absolutely true! You hardly understand anything about it! All your superlatives at her golden feet.
You guys are unbearable, and I say this as someone who deeply loves Indian classical music. He didn't misjudge her or make any inadequate comments and just perceives this as a musician/singer who has another musical background. If you can't stand watching a guy in awe at her performance, basically just saying how skilled and smooth the singing is, just go somewhere else and curb your priggishness.
Lol I agree
Now you going too deep my friend .....I love her singing.....I know you will be tooo
Simply super it was. Now it is simply universal.
Hi Carl....really appreciate your efforts....falling short of words while trying to explain Kaushikijis style of singing......amazing....
As u k w this is the classical piece which is based on some fixed beats as u can say on tabla ( the drum type thing) it was 'teen taal' which comprises 16 beats types of things on that whole 16 beats the whole composition is based whether the tempo can be slowed down, it depends on the mood nd emotions, as tension increases tempo increases. As u always say indians can hold tensions nd sing very precusel becoz in our culture it is taught as basic. Even if u want to go into the mixture of western nd indian u hv to first to learn hoe to hold that tension at the same level without any crack in voice either it is at low or high pitch its the same... With practice and practice we can increase or lower down anyone's pitch but just need practise nd persistence. And which the gap type of thing u can hear like very fast when she is going to high or low pitch is called 'harkat'. U can search in detail on internet
how do you know that much?
@@amitbelwal8552 becoz i have also learnt some classical music for many years during school years like for classical music competitions (interschool) but i don't practice it now after graduating so i have knowledge
Just so you know, that ‘tea break’ is to clear their throat. It is always adviced for trainees of Indian vocals to take some hot drink(hot water is best) for clearness of the throat. Btw, u don’t know if it is tea. :)
It’s not called being casual. But we do enjoy and performers are completely into their rendition and improvisation.
its awakening of the breathing process, its beyond singing.
She is one of the most amazing classical singer of india❤
its going to take the west a few life times to even comprehend whats going on. i would recommend you talk less and FEEL more. this is way out of your league.
You are being a condescending arse and chances are you know a lot less about what is going on than he does. One can enjoy the music without understanding it
*Raaga* means it is a combination of notes and melodic structure.
Raaga is not a type of song.
I will give u a examples of Raaga
*Hamsadwani* it is a Raaga name
And it has different notes combination
SA re ga pa ni SA ( in Indian they pronounce like this)
Do re me so ti do (and in western I am not sure I think they pronounce like this)
For example some raag have different notes while ascending
And different notes while descending.
For this example we will take this raag bhimpalasi itself
While ascending
NOTE: THE WORDS WHICH ARE IN BOLD ARE BLACK NOTES.
*Ni* SA *ga* ma pa *ni* SA (Indian classical pronounce)
*Ti* do *mi* fa so *ti* do ( western classical pronounce)
While descending
SA *Ni* Da pa ma *ga* re SA ( Indian classical pronounce)
Do *ti* la so fa *me* re do (western pronounce).
Sir check at 4:32 she will go in order of bhimpalasi Ni SA ga SA ga ma. This order came because she was singing ascending way and at 4:36 she sings descending way so she comes back SA Ni Da pa ma ga re SA.
Wow Kaushiki mam.. You are amazing
She is just fabulous
With all due respect to you sir, you are not qualified to judge her. She is on a whole another level, the kind of music which the western world is yet to explore. I am extremely sorry to say this, I am huge fan of yours.

Wow. Great Indian classical music. 🙏 🇮🇳
A well classical singer can sing any normal song at ease and can even make it sound different in a better manner.Hats off
Thank you sir for accepting my request and putting up this beautiful piece of art.. this is real real Indian music from the 12 th century... it's called HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL based on various ragas which are complex... this form of music is unfortunately not popular with masses and youth, however its great to see so many comments on the same.... thanks again...
There are 3 types of Indian classical Music.
1. Carnatic
2. Hindustani
3. Dhrupad
Carnatic music is from south India, and was the unique music all over India before Islamic invaders, the most difficult one in my understanding.
Hindustani music is altered version of Carnatic and this style is famous in North, Kaushiki Sings in Hindustani.
Dhrupad is slow music, though I really don't know much about it.
for your kind information Dhrupad is one of the part of Hindustani classical music.
@@sunnyrana707 i know nothing of dhrupad.
Carnatic music has no classified style of singing ....., its generally with a constant tempo generally fast......whereas Hindustani has different styles like.....khayal ....thumri...dhrupad etc.....of which khayal is fast paced and dhrupad is slow paced
Dhrupad is a Tal , is not it ! and hindustani classical ragas can be Dhrupad or any other tal , I don't think it can be categorized with hindustani and Karnataki
Carnatic music is not influenced by any other music... It has it's own style.. Purandaradasa is known as father of Carnatic music...
Kaushiki is incredible singer and artist,one and only
Kaushiki Chakraborty is one of the best classical singers in India.
No offense, *but i don't think you are eligible Enough to judge her!*
It takes generations to go to that depth. It's not possible to do this in one life.
You can research about tha Indian Gharanas
He is not trying to judge her. Just explaining the singing Techniques in western terms. He said "wow" many times. He enjoyed it too. Calm down..
Might be he can or he can not but who are you to judge him??? What is your qualification in singing???!?!!! Bullshit
That's true though he don't know anything about it and also Indians singing is very unique no one can judge it until u learn it
Even same u can't judge western singers without learning or going deep with that.
@@mortalkombat1209 where's Western classical music? And who is judging it?
Mainstream western music is much like the crappy Bollywood music we have in India.. No thought in compositions, no work on skills
Your understanding of Indian music is very poor 🙈😂
Girish Dhameja Hey! He’s making an effort. We learn something new everyday!
It is natural .. As ur understanding of western music is also very poor ..
At least he is curious and finds it interesting. Look at his facial expression of immense surprise and wow factor as well as admiration. 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kudos to you Sir !
@@TopPicks07 haha mine too I have to learn more
ragas is a vehicle through which a practitioner can experience the union of emotion, rhythm and time.
Kaushike chacraborty Indian singar(she Live in Kolkata)

Hindustani classical music is so vast, one life is not sufficient to study it. It is so very soothing that one is simply lifted to another world of peace and tranquillity. It is so very scientific that there are different Ragas or the notations to suit the mood of different time of the day. One can enjoy the essence of the raga only at that part of the day. Like Ahiri Bhairav, Bhupali, Lalit in the morning, Vrindavani satang in the afternoon, Yaman in the evening, and so on. Also, there are Ragas for different moods of a person - Happy, Sad, Cheerful, affectionate, devotional etc. The more you hear, there is still so much more to hear.
Excellent choice
