Berklee Indian Ensemble ft Shankar Mahadevan - 5 Peace Band (Live at Berklee)

[@Steeyuv]

I'd go to Berklee. Not to study, but to hang around outside for three years and get autographs.

[@davidgomezagudo]

When I was a teenager I dreamed about his school ...could not be... I hope they admit retired grandparents! I think to study harder than anyone :) very fan

[@lakhrie6899]

That guitarist deserve medal.

[@Elemy69]

Props to the guitar player for learning flawlessly the vocalist's 2mn long solo. Very impressive.

[@CarlosCamilo]

The complexity behind those polyrhythms combined with the mysticism of the melodies and the jazz influences is truly mesmerizing. Even my 8 months daughter watched this in our living room with total attention. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SujitKumar-tr1kz]

Drummer was already quarantining himself in 2017.

[@bensatlas8880]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the guy on the fender Stratocaster?

[@sanjeevnair4069]

it almost felt like Shankar Mahadevan himself had stopped just to enjoy the Rohith's vocals.

[@joshuafernandes2374]

Has a Drummer/ Percussionist I can't even imagine how they attempted such a difficult composition which was only performed by the great legendary Musicians Zakir Hussain and Giant Legendary Musicians like John Mac Laughlin, Shankar Mahadevan.

[@hipster__fox]

The guitarist as known as Aleif Hamdan is a beast. played flawlessly. he deserves every happiness in the world

[@dineshsid4519]

Damn!! Those are all the Permutations and Combinations of Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Could ever exist !!

[@danielnatter6835]

i just witnessed a flower opening in the sunlight after being freshly watered.

[@tenzind4175]

The Music and Styles the Indian ancesters have already mastered it long ago..... .no wonder Old Indian Civilization was the most Amazing Gifted civilization ever existed... They Masterred the Art of Singing,, .Music's .Science .philosophy..Miracles and Beyond way back ... ..and their legacies still we get to hear it today from these talented Brothers....

[@drsbarreto]

This is so addictive, I can’t stop listening. This is like a perfect marriage between Indian and western classical music.

[@williamsamson2177]

Imagine a collaboration between these geniuses and Snarky Puppy.. That would be epic.

[@likache123]

And to think each syllable they are pronouncing is the indian sound for the note. Wow

[@arunjaishiv9743]

Aisi chiz gaane aur bajane k liye 15 20 saal ki siksha chahiye Kiya baat Shankar mahadevn g and all other musicians are so Brilliant 👏

[@sathiyaseelanr5769]

Tamil soil given three children to the globe. At rehman, shivamani, and Shankar mahadevan thankyou again my soil god bless them wishes from tamilnadu

[@MansoorKhan]

Huge respect to Srinivas, Mahadevan, Mclaughlin, Zakir Hussain and Selva Ganesh who gave this beautiful music spontaneously! :)

[@jarrilaurila]

Im stunned! Just love Indian/western music fusion so much. That singing is heavenly!

[@zakwindle8859]

I think I've watched this at least once a week for a year now.

[@chitreshsoni1765]

Eminem : I'm the fastest. Rohith : Hold my Sa Re Ga Ma

[@varshneydevansh]

*They are singing in the language of Musical instruments*

[@Akshita702]

Why is Berklee Indian Ensemble always so enchanting? These people are just amazing, whether it's about Shreya Ghoshal, AR Rahman or Shankar Mahadevan, they ensure that the show is at its best with the perfect music, beats and notes. Leaves me in awe everytime. Captivated by your music man! Love❤

[@rhutujavispute2362]

I feel like a drop in the ocean I feel defeated by great music

[@JoryGKenneth]

Good version, but i can't help it - a word about McLaughlin, who is one of those few unique and fearless musicians that march to their own drummer, as they say. He changed music history a number of times. Not your normal guy - he's a brother from another planet and went where no man has gone before and in fact, where no man has gone since.

[@adameury60]

This is literally the best thing I've ever heard. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this.

[@sheldoncooper8199]

The older Indian Guy in the Purple Shirt is amazing. I love It when musician enjoy the music they Play / Sing

[@GordonTibbits]

I've been living under a rock! This is life-changing amazing! Musical Paradigm completely blown!

[@babanigad8531]

Shankar Mahadevan sir, whatever you did at the end, was something out of this world!!! HUGE HUGE RESPECT..

[@NarissaDelport]

Good God! Who is that fine specimen belting out those Carnatic notations like a God?

[@parthparakh95]

I love how everyone seems to be having so much fun, that's what it is all about

[@cmmc3400]

I am a 61 year old Cherokee, German, French breed...I was digging some Teddy Swims and this was at the end of one of his play lists. I feel so sheltered...LOL...never heard of this style before but I stumped my husband, I told him he would guess once a day for eternity and not guess what I was listening to. I like it, Michelle likes it! How fun. The joinery of each part is seamless.

[@gautampawar3940]

the guy with orange hair is my favourite at Berkeley music school.

[@lukasoc1518]

Slowly but surely, this put a big smile on my face 🙂

[@AniruddhaWadnerkar]

It is impossible to imagine the effort these guys must have put for this performance. Really, hats off to everyone. :)

[@foolishsamurai]

The vocals solos have not been improvised right? Coz if it is, that guitarist is a god.

[@Mulkitron]

The sheer joy on their faces is a testament to their love for music.

[@human-connections]

So this is a piece from the band Shakti who were an ensemble of the best artists in the Indian classical scene at the time and John Mclaughlin. Listening to them has definitely changed my thinking of what music can do.

[@PascalAbida]

Just Speechless !!! j'en reste bouche bée !!! Monsieur Shankar Mahadevan est encore plus impressionnant dans cette version que dans celle donnée en compagnie du Dr John Mc Laughlin lors du "Jazz à Vienne". Hats off to everyone !!!

[@bhaveekdesai]

Music is a language in itself. It doesn't need dictionary words to express itself.

[@RandyLott]

Incredible talent. Nothing else needs to be said.

[@rubintraylor5971]

I don't know what they are saying but it sounds beautiful!!!

[@siddeshsarma6659]

Fury Foxhound they're notes in Indian classical music. Akin to 'do re mi...'

[@TheZenguitarguy]

The guitar player is insanely good, the whole ensemble is but the complexity of the melodies the guitar player is playing to double the singers and the violinist is just fantastic!

[@eban3]

Everytime I revisit this performance it just gets more joyfull ,some of the finest music i've ever heard ,wish they'd do an actual cd of it

[@chrisdixon7305]

This is like food, like medicine, like oxygen. As it ends - snap snap! - I start again at the beginning. In a world that is so so crazy, I find faith here, and joy. Celebration.

[@Khu6ai6]

I came here for a moment and I'm having 10 mins of blossomness.

[@SieNoel]

every now and then i remember this exists and come back to watch it and it never fails to elicit pure joy, and put me in my place about how little i truly know about music

[@interstellish]

The guy on the strat is the best sideguy and accompaniest anyone could ever have.

[@jayaajain3453]

Oh...what a beauty... in 5/8th rhythm. This is a gift for music lovers to cherish for years and years May god bless them with good health to create and inspire many more such pieces..

[@ReaganLopez]

no words.. from breathless to speechless.. 😍😍😍

[@lidiasantoro3098]

Love it! Thank you India for these lovely stylish vibes.

[@mmmegameat]

Mind blown 🤯 trying to calculate how many times I’ll listen to this work of art in the years ahead.

[@bhishmamusic]

Now that's what I call Shankar; Lord of Music. Lord of Lord. Shankar Mahadevan!

[@kimchristian6498]

[@fernandotanga7877]

[@swagata688]

[@sahajneupane3657]

I feel sorry for those 88 people who disrespected the music

[@DrShauryaGarg_INTD]

The end by shankar mahadevan takes to another universe! And i am not exaggerating

[@kartikk2273]

I am wondering how fabulous their rehearsals must be. Big fan of shakti

[@mytubeworldmayhem]

Why is there only 10 mins of this. I need atleast 3 hrs of this

[@Aditya_davicii]

MY. GOD.! BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL.

[@Drvishnucnair]

Rohith Jayaraman awesome singing....Truly talented

[@ayushjasuja6828]

I believe Indian classical and western instruments is surely one of the best fusions.. appeals almost all sort of genre lovers

[@pithaimer7499]

The Tabla audio is fantastic. Beautiful recording.

[@Abhishek_ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಿ]

The 5 piece band original composition is by Ustaad "ZAKIR HUSSAIN" "JOHN MCLAUGHLIN","L SHANKAR","RAMNAD RAGHAVAM" and "VINAYAKRAM" called "SHAKTI" and sung by "SHANKAR MAHADEVAN". The band is a fusion of Carnatic, Hindustani and jazz music.

[@mikemorrison281]

The joy that this creates transcends language. Thank you. What a performance. And to realize how much of this is NOT improvised, just wow. Superb job!

[@PlenumGaming]

This didn't ask for my full intention, it demanded it. Chills, so much energy here. Wonderful music and it looks like they had a blast performing.

[@manojthakur4597]

Gods of music, Rohit sir along with Shankar saab.... It surely had been a Pilgrimage for the one, who belongs to music industry....... not a single second was non adventurous...

[@bluetrane65]

Welp, another example of a piece of music I'll never be able to play, lol. Outstanding musicianship, gentlemen; Kudos to berklee

[@blahblahblah5924]

I knew the genius of Shankar Mahadevan, who doesn't? But it was the other guy, Rohith Jayaraman, who impressed me. Out of this world.

[@rajprasad6390]

Those people who dislikes, Are unlucky person in the universe, because they don't know the real fragrance of MUSIC and MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

[@dannyhughes4889]

Music at a totally different level.

[@lukamrsa8237]

John Mclaughlin is one of the greatest musicians ever.. so inovative and yet so traditional..
