- Kaushiki Chakraborty is one of the finest classical singers in India. In this video, I am reacting to her live performance on Raga Bhimpalasi. Her control over her voice and breath is truly remarkable.

#Rebecca, it sounds like vibrato, but actually if you listen carefully, she was quickly making combinations and permutations of notes by rolling over sub-notes. When the notes are pronounced as "a" we call it atat and such quick permutation-combinations is called "taan". When the notes are pronounced as Sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni (do re mi fa so la ti) in a taan, it is called bol-taan. Also a higher level of such bol-taan is when you sing the actual words of the song through taan. In Indian Classical, we identify that words have a limit and to express the full emotion one needs to go beyond words into the realm of pure music. Raag means color. It is a framework of musical melody. The basic framework of this raag/ raga (ie, Bhimpalasi) is based on "thaat" Kafi. That is in ascending or Aarohana: Ṉ̣ S G̱ M P Ṉ Ṡ; In descending or Avaroha: Ṡ Ṉ D P M G̱ R S. The raag has komal (soft) Ni and Ga. It is an Odhav-Sampoorna raga, implying that it has 5 notes in Arohana and 7 in Avarohana. You may understand better by following the English sub-titles in this teaching video : czcams.com/video/b2ltg-eKrKo/video.html . Also note, Kaushiki is a rising star and not a doyen. If you want to get real shockers, check these out (some might be a bit old videos) :
1. czcams.com/video/eEgEqWDyJxA/video.html (after this performance very few dare to sing the same song)
2. czcams.com/video/uawj6tfo3EI/video.html (this is lighter than a Kheyal and is called Thumri; it has more words. This was sung by another doyen and has become iconic).
3. czcams.com/video/yXfwR273gqE/video.html (again Raag Bhimpalasi, but with a slow melodious start picking up the tempo at the end)
4. czcams.com/video/F-pH-fTwXiU/video.html (the same song sung by Kaushiki in Raga Bhimpalasi, but now by a doyen)
5. czcams.com/video/oxm-ddXkBvw/video.html (again Raag Bhimpalasi, by another doyen, who was the king of melodies, but died young)
6. czcams.com/video/yjYP212iZ6Y/video.html (again Raag Bhimpalasi, by another doyen, called singer of the singers; had a huge range, but his voice never became shrill; so it is easy to miss how many harmonics he is covering)
7. czcams.com/video/85pfDRuOd1Q/video.html (Raag, may not just be representing color of the time of the day, but also season; here the singer of the singers has presented a raag of rains/monsoon)
8. czcams.com/video/WmVgN2p2LPc/video.html (this is my favorite; it is just not a night raag; if one goes deep into it, one might just get immersed and lost).
And if you are interested in dancing then this might be for you : czcams.com/video/uaUOPEYvQCc/video.html
And it was not sitar but Tanpura. This is sitar : czcams.com/video/p-ijCe1xRWQ/video.html
while this is veena (this is Rudra veena, the other form is Saraswati Veena) : czcams.com/video/EjiLUruF8XU/video.html and this is Sarod : czcams.com/video/yfMHiTIm-zc/video.html. Final shocker for you : this is a famous duet that can blow your mind : czcams.com/video/mmiThgzYX5E/video.html
Wow , just wow
Sir... Blessed to even see u here 🙏🙏
Extremely educative sir. Great learning experience reading your post. Warm regards 🙏
You are a lot more educated and informed about classical music than I am. I doubt anyone comes close to Bhimsen Joshi, and personally, Pandit Jasraj and Ustad Rashid Khan are also in the class of their own. And yes, Ustad Bade Gulam, Amir Khan, and many others were the best in their times, and you can call them doyens. And yet, I would like to give Kaushiki the credit she deserves - esp in terms of the music that is both excellent and of superb quality. She also has the benefit of improved technology. And her sadhana from the age 4 (to now over 40) shows. It is nothing wrong if many would say prefer to like this version of this song than as #4. BTW-- thank you for a great list - got to hear some of these items after many years.
@@AmitSheth Kaushiki's father and Ustad Naseem Khan were pupils of the same guru. Unfortunately, Naseem Khan never got the due credit. Often, marketing strategy is also involved. Similarly, Naseem's son,. Wasim Ahmed Khan is a great singer, but most people don't even know him. I guess this is because they are very rigid in their approach and are only appreciated by people who have reached a higher level of understanding of classical music (BTW, Waseem belongs to the family of Sharafat Hussain Khan, Latafat Hussain Khan, Basir Khan, Ata Hussain Khan and Faiyaz Khan). Once someone from AIR asked Nasim Khan from when he was learning music. He answered "Jab tak paida huya" (Since when I was born). Check this out : czcams.com/video/__Y3HT7USYM/video.html
My Dear she is from West Bengal - Kolkata ,from her childhood she took lessons from her father Ustad Ajay chakraborty or Pandit Ajay chakraborty, Ustad or Pandit means Master ,i know her my mother knows her ,they are nice person , I welcome your quriocity about India ,thank you love you from Kolkata,
Ustad nahi... Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty
@@sreembit well my dear what is the meaning of these two word ,it same "Master " we often call him Ustad Ji,in front of other student,
@@laal.mirchi Noted with a humble thank you.
Oh yah I know her and met her, we ate my moms kichuri together lmao
There are 3 aspects here which you grasps 2 of:
1. Breath control
2. Voice control
3. Going up and down the musical ladder super fast with pinpoint accuracy, hitting every note and not skipping any.
It takes years of practice to learn this type of intense music and to become a pro one needs a hell lot of practice 🙏🙏🙏
This one has had about thirty years of continuous practice. That's a helluva lot, right.
And patience✨
You are just too adorable.. Kaushiki is trained by her father, who is one of India's National Treasurer. Just for you info, in the UK, there is an Indian musical festival called "Darbar" which showcases the best of the best in Indian music..
Legendary "kaushiki"mam
React to Mahesh Kale another legend live in Melbourne
What she was saying sooo fast was basically musical notes sa re ga ma or in English do re me etc according to the notes it represents. The expertise was to change between the notes very fast and being accurate
I love your videos (I've watched 4 or 5 in the past hour)! I've been following Darbar and Kaushiki Chakraborty for a number of months now. She is incredible.
That’s the magic of Indian Classical music. Goosebumps 🥺
Hi Sweet Little Rebecca, She is Kaushaki Chakraborty,one of the best classical singer of our generation.She was singing in Darbar Music Festival,a annual festival in London.You must visit.
In case no one actually translated this yet, the lyrics for the song are as for the song are as follows:-
"Go, go to your temple, I've already heard from my mother in law. I've heard that Sadarang likes you. Did you even think about me?"
It's a rough translation but that's approximately what the song says.
Mahesh kale & kaushiki will make you speechless mesmerized video available on you tube
Quite good reaction...Best wishes and God bless you...
Classical music needs so many years of practice to master it ................still they will say they are learning it ................and daily they practice called riyaz.......................they are respected in India very much ..............Three instruments were used one you know Table, second the key board type is harmonium and the third is Tanpura .....................................love the way you react.......
Love your reaction
I always waiting for ur videos
Hallo,I m happy to see that Ur sending reaction videos, thx hope more in future thx
I am a big fan of chakraborty man... Thanks for reacting on her 🤗🤗
that's Indian Paranormal Activity God Gifted You Know 😊🇮🇳🇮🇳✊🏻💪🏻🔥
I love my India
She is singing godess.
She practiced Indian Classical music upto 10-12 hours daily in her childhood. After this practice she can do this instantly.
I love it very good carry on
So beautiful singer so beautiful voice ❤️😍❤️😍👍👍🙏🙏
Thnks fr listening this legendary singing. She is the pride of india
I loved your description, "She went from a low note to a high note in one smooth (flowing) sentence."
That is a pretty good description of a raga! This whole piece was based around that same sentence.
There are lots of those sentences in Indian music, each with its own set character 😁.
The instruments accompanying her are the table and the tanpura, a drone that sets the pitch. A sitar looks a bit like a tanpura but is quite different in terms of use.
Love from India
She is a legend like her father.
Raag is a melodic structure, set to beats with variations in the transitions from one note to another
I like your reactions 🙂 I like how you're respectful, sensitive and genuine with them. I would personally recommend you to react to The Indian Jam Project by Tushar Lal. He basically reproduces famous theme songs with classical Indian instruments. I think you would like that 🙂
*Indian Classical Music is derived from Spirituality.*

Indian classical music is the music of the universe. It gets to your soul.
Magic of Indian Classical Music🙏
this is just a snippet of the entire song, it can go on for hours
You have just entered into the ocean of indian classical music. It soothen your ears and heartbeats. It is just opposite of Western music.
Mam i am glad that you react to classical music. Mam also react to Zakir hussain and rahul sharma instrumental performance. This will also a mind blowing performance for you. Thanks mam ❤
Actually there's a video recording of Shiv Sharma on the santoor and Zakir Hussain, and that is worth listening to, in preference to the Rahul Sharma recording.
Rebecca's British accent is really captivating , awesome reaction
She is classical singer of india
This is her 20 years of Practice and Indian Classical is Unbeatable 🚩🙏🇮🇳❤️
Legend 🙏 Kaushiki Chakravarty mam
Is your channel on Instagram ??? I didn't find cross cultural on Instagram
Indian music is the best and most difficult in the world
YOU ARE SOO SWEEET ❤❤❤❤❤
Indian classical music is like that...
she started practicing when she started talking after her birth means maybe 3 or 4 years
Hey Rebecca, please see if UK schools can introduce Indian classical music from early ages. Thanks
You should definitely react to Shreya Ghoshal singing "mere dholna"...live
25years of practice and dedication
she started learning indian classics at the age of 3
It's Afternoon Raaga..You listen at 3 PM..then you feel how noon looks and feels..with Shubha Mudgal voice in same Darbar Festival..
This classical raag singing can occur rain and can cure diseases
There is a myth that in the era of Akbar (a mughal emperor) there was a singer called Tan Sen who who used to summon rain and thunderstorms with the raag called meghmallar. There are several categories (genres) of indian classical music which are called "gharanas"
Try Abhi Muj main kahin live performance From Sonu Nigam. It's Amazing
It takes a life time of practice 5-9 hours a day to sing like that. It helped that Kaushikis parents were musicians too.
Hi Rebecca...!!! I apologize in advance as this might be a bit long...
First off...... "RAAG" means (layman terms) a set of notes that can be used to express stuff musically. only a certain prescribed notes can be used in a certain raag. Different raags generate differnt feels due to different set of notes being used.
Secondly, what you heard and thought of as a VIBRATO is actually what we call in Indian Classical music as Sargam/ Taan(permutations and combinations of notes used in the raag sung in a fast tempo). Vibrato is, as you correctly said, an oscillation of/around a single note.
Lastly..... What you heard is music that has been passed down from atleast 6 generations..... It's origins go well beyond that.... It's however true that there aren't many who can sing like her.... Let me assure you, there are plenty.
Love your reactions..!!! Keep up the good work...!!!

Hello sister, the fast singing part is called "Sargam". It's the basic of musical note called

In Indian music raag is defined as the modes and its derivations. Just as there are so many modes in western music just the same way indian ragas are several. This raag is very difficult to sing. It take years and tears of practice to reach this level..
Its like the opera.. Do re mi fa so la ti.... In india its sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa
Nice Video choose for reaction.

If you get your head around to the rules of Indian classical music which has to be strictly followed (for both raaga and taala), and how she can freely express herself while following them, then your head would explode.
