Classical Beauty| Waleska & Efra React to Mahesh Kale & Kaushiki Chakraborty Kanada Raja Pandharicha

[@mayur7164]

Kaushiki is reading bcoz Marathi is not her native language. It's Mahesh's native language. as a Maharashtrian i love Mahesh

[@shubhamkulat7367]

Plzzzz..yes

[@abhhaynarkar454]

The language is MARAATHI. It's a devotional song. .. called BHAJAN It's about lord Vitthal ( they end the song by chanting his name Viththal Viththal Viththal)..And an image of the lord was behind them. Song 's opening line is KAANADAA RAAJAA PANDHARICHAA (am spelling it the way it should be pronounced) KAANADAA (one of the many names of the lord VITHTHAL) RAAJA (king) PANDHARICHAA (of Pandhari .. a poetic name for a city Pandharpur which is a pilgrimage of the lord vitthal)

[@Priya-bt3oj]

It's Abhang... Not bhajan.

[@rockypandey4226]

@@Priya-bt3oj true

[@manjisthasikdar6020]

Kaushiki chakravarti ji is bengali and Mahesh kale ji is from Maharashtra. This song is Mahesh kale ji's signature song that is why he was singing most of the part.

[@abhhaynarkar454]

You should hear the same song sung by Mahesh Kale and Rahul Deshpande... There are two of them at different occasions...Both amazing Yes..A lot of improvisation ALWAYS happens with any classical song. They are NEVER the same again even when same artist sings it... That's the beauty of it

The reason for drinking warm (not hot, not cold) beverages isn't just for your throat, it's to keep your entire GI tract lubricated. That way you don't get an upset stomach in the middle of a performance, which can last for hours. Especially for concerts that take place in open air venues, the elements (heat, cold, dust, humidity, dryness) can do an absolute number on your throat as the performance. As for that "delay" effect that you were talking about with the sarangi? One of the first major training steps in the process of learning the sarangi, violin, harmonium (really, any melodic instrument) is being able to hear a melody and INSTANTLY repeat it AS the singer is working through an idea, nuances and dynamics included. That means you're simultaneously listening, playing, AND picking up on potential cues. That shadow effect is found in ALL Indian classical music. If you listen for it, you'll hear it with any instrument accompanying a classical performance. The idea of a jugalbandi (Maheshji and Kaushikiji going back and forth in this case) takes that concept and requires the responder to further expand upon whatever musical idea was introduced previously while also adding new musical or rhythmical elements during their own little bit of time. That's also why everybody - the melodic instrumentalists, the singers, the percussionists - are able to pick up on the call-and-response so quickly. It's something that becomes instinct once you've learned it.

[@nitinnimkar1654]

That Raag is Malkauns. Tanpura is and instrument that gives drone effect. It's tuned in three combinations. Pa-Sa-Sa-Sa (lower), Ma-Sa-Sa-Sa (lower), Ni-Sa-Sa-Sa (lower) according to the Raag they are likely to sing. (There are video on KZbin explaining it). The language of the song is Marathi. Usually, they drink warm water. 🙂 AS regards their coordination, it's very difficult for Kaushiki to match Mahesh because their ranges are different. So sometimes Mahesh helps Kaushiki bringing it to lower tones or sometimes Kaushiki sings in lower octave. Funnily they are saying Lord is from Kanada meaning Lord is from Kanada (language) & he is lord of Pandharpur where his temple is. Mahesh is speaks Marathi, Kaushiki speaks Bengali but both are them are saying lord is Kannada & stays in Pandharpur which is not in Karnataka where Kannada is spoken.

[@ytuser920]

Ok but the amount of Indian music industry knowledge efra flexed in this video omg I’m loving it ✋🏻😭

[@Priya-bt3oj]

You should listen to the same song sung by Rahul Deshpande and Mahesh Kale.... Trust me, it is going to take you to heaven. In this version both are in sitting position in front of the live audience( description as there is one more version they are standing)

[@krushna4181]

Have heard this song hundreds of times and every time I get goosebumps when he sings the final "vitthala" phrase.

[@ravikiranmore9137]

The song belongs to lord vithhal(Pandurang) and the place is Pandharpur, Maharashtra. Proud to see this because I am from Pandharpur and my home is near to vithhal temple. Lots of love from Pandharpur,Maharashtra, India

[@salimamkf3981]

I'm in love with classical songs, plz react more to Mahesh Kale & Kaushiki Chakraborty YOU will definitely be surprised

[@Exiide89]

An Indian classical singer can go in to any genre with ease.

[@Sarthak0998]

i used to put this piece on loop during my exam days.. such a peaceful and energy-giving piece. Always give strength to focus

[@shamliprasad5704]

Can we get one music from each state

[@codeengineer10]

28 states atleast 10 min to review each, just a 4 and half hour of podcast, yep they should do it.

[@rasmim231]

👌

[@Dewoo_dsk]

They are singing in MARATHI language

[@sjagoeffy]

Y’all should watch Kaushiki teaching her son. She has a whole video teaching him Uthad Baaj.

[@krushna4181]

From the way you guys remember the names of the singers and their songs it's pretty evident that you're really interested in getting to know the music from around of the world, unlike other youtubers who do it just for views. Thank you for introducing us to different kind of music. P.S: If you enjoyed this performance then you should definitely have to take a look at the jugalbandi between Shankar Mahadevan and Vijay Prakash of the song Om Shivoham. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4uwaK1npLCZfKs

[@Pihu523]

10:25,that's not kannada language if anyone's wondering!It's marathi, Mahesh Kale's Mothertounge.

[@ashleshadhanwate4411]

They are singing in Marathi language and they are singing an 'abhanga' which is devotional song for God. Name of this abhanga is 'Kanada raja pandaricha' and 'vittal' is the name of the god. At the end of the abhanga they were chanting the name of god vittal.

[@dharmeshparikh7837]

It's absolutely phenomenal . You should listen to Rahul Deshpande performances too. He is amazing too. He has performed with both of these artists Kaushiki & Mahesh.

[@aditichoudhury3425]

As much as i know from my little experience, Indian classical singers or atleast whenever we go to any Guru for classical singing training, they do advice us to avoid anything cold like drinks and ice-cream. For few months of my experience, i also stopped having anything cold because its only a hot or warm drink that helps in singing, like giving flexibility and enhancing your vocal abilities. Almost everyone who is trained in Indian classical music, has a habit of drinking warm tea or water, have seen this always in any school and college music competitions.

[@あかし中村]

9:32 absolutely true, I'm happy that you noticed that.... ❤

[@aarushimadaan7510]

You must watch Mahesh Kale's Albela Sajan performance!!! It's magical!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@sushantkarpe8395]

You guys are diving deeper into classical. Glad to see you now going on roots. The language is Marathi. Also when there are no words and they go with 'aaaa~aaa' that's called 'aalap'. You will find Marathi singers are more into classical. You should also check out Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.

[@aadyakulkarni3565]

You guys really need to watch the movie 'Katyar Kaljat Ghusli' . The movie itself is based on Indian classical music and has amazing songs!

[@YogaNMRS]

If you want to understand what they are singing about with subs look at Purva Cotah & Paavani Cotah singing Kanada Raja Pandharicha | Marathi Abhang | Vande Guru Paramparaam.

[@vikasrana8424]

All the divine songs .. sung for hindu culture is amazing and best example you can say the idols for singing

[@sahilmodi5355]

FYI this is the same song you guys checked out in Indian Classical podcast sung by Mahesh Kale in a kids singing show

[@AryanDwivedi-d1f]

In this song many languages like most ancient and lord's language called Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi are mixed. Sanskrit language is also called the mother of all languages .Jai Hind Jai Bharat Jai shree Ram.

[@amitpatole5067]

Listening to waleska feels like I'm watching biology class rather than music class 😂😂

[@TanmayeeKawali]

Honestly, that's basically why I stuck to this channel. Others are simply trying to gain free views with our artist names and Indian in their titles and thumbnails with no knowledge of anything about Indian music whatsoever. The way she approaches indian classical music makes it more believable for me. Because I see science behind it somewhere. Before it'd feel like sorcery that can't be understood by commoners like me. I could only appreciate it as some divine magic or something. Now I am more able to see the craft aspect of it, and I love it more than before.

[@amitpatole5067]

@@TanmayeeKawali Interesting 👌

[@pradeeppatki2134]

Rahul Deshpande is another legend in Indian classical music world. I'm sure you will be delighted to hear his performance.

[@Bengali_Hindi17]

This reminds me of the original Mahesh Kale performance you saw. I love it.

[@thehawkseye3412]

"Tanpura does not play melody, but rather supports and sustains the melody of another instrument or singer by providing a continuous harmonic bourdon or drone." - Wiki

[@nandanpandit5456]

They are singing in Marathi, which is Mahesh's mother tongue, but would not be very easy for Kaushiki, as her mother tongue is Bangla (Bengali). Though there are similarities, there are important differences, e.g., the pronunciations of the same word can be very different. Kaushiki has done a great job.

[@AnuradhaSuriPhadke]

One of my favourite Bhajans You should also listen to the rendition of the same song by Cotah sisters under the guidance of Kuldeep Pai it's amazing

[@ji7cn]

Nina Burmi - Mishra Bhairavi Thumri on Darbar is a must for a classical reaction!

[@abhijitsalvi6021]

For another gem of Sarangi listen to "Chadariya Jheeni re Jheeni" Song from Badlapur movie, outstanding singing by Rekha Bharadwaj and Arjit Singh.

[@moumitamukherjee25674]

This song name is Judai from movie Badlapur

[@AyAy008]

In honor of Mahesh Kale, the West has named a salad after him 🙏🏼

[@barkrish]

The image behind is the image of Vittal the ruling deity of Pandaripur and they are singing a bhakthi soaked Bhajan ,highly devotional and their singing at a fast pace creates a religious fervour and can incite the audience to enjoyoy spiritual bliss and raise their level of bhakthi that forces them to dance in gay abandon.Vittala in whose praise the bhajan is also referred to as Panduranga and is actually Lord Krishna and many devotees have experienced his presence and indirectly benifited and such bhajans are outpouring of their heart of such experiences

[@srijannandanik2976]

Wow! ... Raag Malkauns. ..Delightful,,, and Engaging performance. ..Bedsides, this Raag itself has that intense appeal when it progresses.

[@rajatmishra6733]

Long awaited. Request you to react the songs of movie Katyar Kaljat Ghusali. You will listen to 3 legends there Mahesh Kale, Rahul Deshpande and Shankar Mahadevan. A real theat to the ears.

Please check out mahesh kale and rahul deshpande together or rahul deshpande seperatley he is also one of the best young hindustani classical vocalist.

[@nattu44]

Tampura is used to set the key in a sense it just plays pa sa sa sa. It creates a resonant tone..it is said that it fills the environment around the singer with these resonant notes that they can pluck any note in the range out of thin air

[@GundeGabbarGaming]

The fact that 'tabla' instrument is very commonly played in village while everyone can atleast play one basic tune from that is carzy❤

it's a devotional song praying to Lord Vishnu

Also been asking for Pranavalaya song review 🥺. It is a wonderful blend of Indian classical and western sounds and Sai Pallavi dancing Kuchipudi is a treat to eyes. And Anurag Kulkarni's vocals are top notch. You can also check out the live performance of 'Pranavalaya' song in Shyam Singharoy movie audio launch. Anurag nailed it.

Hey guys Iam from India. This song is the kannada's devotional song dedicated to Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. ☺

[@Priya-bt3oj]

Kannada Song 🙄 Since when?

[@kodava]

How is tanpura set? The standard tuning is 5-8-8-1 (so do′ do′ do) or, in Indian sargam, Pa-sa-sa-Sa. For ragas that omit the fifth tone, pa, the first string is tuned down to the natural fourth: 4-8-8-1 or Ma-sa-sa-Sa. From Wiki. It is set to the singer's pitch (2 in this case). Tampura is played continuously as a reference sound.

[@sachinshelke6094]

both are classical base great singer.

[@autumson]

Language is MARATHI and it’s Mahesh Kale’s opening song offering prayers to the deity Vitthal…..(we…thaa….la)
