Indian artist react to frozen

[@swaatchit2731]

Salute to the Queen of POP

[@dal9631]

Love this. Thanks!

[@erikm8372]

This _Ray of Light_ album is definitely her most “Indian” influenced album. Many musical moments influenced by ragas and simple melodies of Indian classical music. She gave birth to her daughter Lourdes a few years prior, and she started ashtanga yoga afterwards, so that practice really shaped her musical influences here. Even her song “Shanti/Ashtangi” is entirely composed of the ashtanga yoga prayer “vunde gurunam charanaravinde…” something like that! But musically, the orchestra especially on “Frozen” is very Indian influenced. I love the entire record!

Great reaction. Madonna is a very versatile artist. During this Ray of Light Era, she drew inspiration from Asian culture, including India. Check out her song “Shanti/Ashanti”. She has a live version too !

[@erikm8372]

Sadly during the live version, she butchered the accent horribly! Not sure why, or if it was on purpose or not. She says “sandarsita” as “sandarrrr sheetarrrr”. For effect…? 🤔 I love her but that made me go, huh? Haha

[@irishfergal]

I love your input, especially your feedback on how many shoutouts Madonna gives to Indian culture, and especially Astanga Yoga, which Madonna practices. She's able to deliver both a very practical and spiritual message at the same time. Sadly, we don't have the power to melt the frozen hearts of other. Not even Madonna, the Sorceress.

[@charlesr63]

She brings together different cultures in most of her videos/songs. During the Ray of Light era she was studying the Kabbalah and included elements throughout that work. Loved your reaction 👏👏

[@acervodatv7908]

One song you have to listen to is Shanti / Asthangi. One of her best songs!

[@danijel83]

thank you for this beautiful reaction, this was a very successful song in 1998. At that time she was really into Ashtanga Yoga. :)

[@swaatchit2731]

Indeed a successful and heart touching song

[@renenielsen92]

she took the Indian inspiration with her on stage at the MTV video music awards in 98 with Shanti/Ashtangi from the same album

[@peradetlic3789]

Mad you made me laugh! Great reaction! More Madonna please!

[@PerryCJamesUK]

Such an interesting video. Madonna is filmed in California's Mojave Desert - an antiphrasis of sorts to the nature of the song, dressed in a Gothic-style ball gown designed by Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens, her hands and wrists decorated in Mehndi with the Om symbol on one of her hands and seemingly playing the role of the Celtic triple goddess Brigid who is often represented as three separate entities whilst still being one being (maybe relating to the 3 stages of the female lifespan.) This Goddess is often connected to battlefields or desolate areas where lives have been lost and victories claimed. The video also associates Madonna's character with crows, maybe a nod to the Hindu goddess Shani and a large dog, possibly referring to the Greek Goddess Hecate. Madonna has also sited the film The English Patient as a further influence on the video. What it all means is anybody's guess, but that lady certainly draws from far and wide to inform her work and her medium. A stunning and complex music video from the Madonna. Great reaction. Thanks.

[@KajiXD]

NOT Brigid!! The MORRIGAN. It could also be the Hekate or the Moiras. She represents the divine feminine, and 3 is also the number of Binah, the dark Mother of Kabbalah

[@soundslike1life]

It was really interesting to see you react to this one as it has Indian symbolism. She was using it quite a bit at this time, she has couple songs Shanti/Astangi and Cyberraga that are Indian inspired, and she's also included Indian themes in her live performances, even on MDNA tour. I remember some groups were upset she used the Indian symbolism during the Ray of Light era so that is why I find it interesting to see someone from that particular culture reacting to what she did. Times have changed so much. Many things that were perfectly okay that a lot of artists did decades ago would now be blasted online with claims of cultural appropriation. I think, as long as you do it respectfully, it's ok. At least it would be if someone used my culture as a reference point. But I am sure someone else feels another way and that is ok too. I just think we should be open-minded and embrace different cultures. After all we come from the same tree of life.

I think as an evolving species we need to give ourselves a chance to observe and absorb, it would only help us grow as a humankind

[@oceanlover3530]

Very well said! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

[@alvarovaldovinos6836]

I admire how you notice all the minor details and that you can culturally explain it to people. The cloth dancing...please look into Isadora Duncan.....a legendary dancer from the turn of the century. Stay smart and enjoy the beautiful world of art and history.

[@Elbuenjardinero]

Beautiful comment at the end about setting oneself on fire to give warmth to others and end up detached. I really liked your reaction ❤️

[@fredbcl4828]

Madonna is the Queen ! French kiss from Paris, France !

[@JogaOhio]

She was very inspired by Indian culture during this period and did work with Indian choreographers for this video in which she wanted her hands and arms to express her emotions of this song.

[@kristianberg4264]

Loved your reaction and comments, you seem like a very gentle , kind & thoughtful guy. Please do more Madonna as she has a 40yr catalog to choose from. Happily a New subscriber also. :)

[@swaatchit2731]

Thank you for those kind words

[@kristianberg4264]

@@swaatchit2731 - You are most welcome, I look forward to more reactions!!

[@swaatchit2731]

Guys music videos often gets copy right claims and gets into dispute. It takes time to resolve those hence expect some delay. My reaction video of "bedtime story" is facing the same issue. lets hope it is available to all soon.

[@erikm8372]

By the way, the barren desert ground? This was filmed in Mojave Desert, here in California. I believe it was autumn or winter when it was filmed, mainly at night and at dawn, and I remember her saying how cold it was.

[@technofeeling2462]

Nice reaction. Love it too and yes she is beautiful

Please do more Madonna. Her works is like roller coaster in the wonder land ,not solely one feeling and emotion but multi platforms will open your mind from perceiving her work of art. Do both vdo and performance. She will gives you enough but still yearning.

[@jlol]

Wonderful reaction. More please

[@munawarshah5680]

This song used to remind me of some songs from Taal (Aiswarya Rai's)....

[@roger1296]

You can watch the making of the video from an old MTV series.

[@michaelmiranda3688]

Great reaction! Love this song and video. Check out Madonna’s “Bedtime stories” for more cool visuals

[@gavo1201]

Nice reaction. Since you are indian and she took indian symbolism, you could've say more things.. would have been interesting. =)

Meaning of Video Frozen (the video must be seen from its end towards its begining): 1 Madonna represents a gothic witch. She plays the part of Hecate, Godess Witch who represents the 3 forms or 3 faces of the Moon. 2 Frozen, in its video and its lyrics, talks about Lucifer's desperation of failing to capture human beings and lead them to his inferno. This is what this song is about. That's why it says: 'Give yourself to me' 3 Frozen Video is referring to a witch who goes to the desert to ask Satan for her illumination and to be lifted to a higher level. That's why she invokes Lucifer during the night. 4 She shows a black stone hanging from her neck: Saturn Stone, related to Capricorn Constellation, or Baphomet's. 5 She moves showing the sign of Mudra in her hands all the time, which represents the 666 sign or sign of Initiation. She does this to open a connection door with the pagan gods. 6 The 3 Madonnas represent a Triple Godess: Artemisa, Selene and Lilith, who is an important character in Ocultism or Esoterism. 7 Madonna levitates as the strength of the dark ritual grows. 8 As the door of hell opens, Satan, in the form of a dog, appears after Madonna's calling. 9 Madonna gives away her blood in the ritual. This is called 'Red Magic', in which blood is used to strengthen the power of the ritual. 10 Once the ritual is finished and the daylight comes, Madonna has already reached the illumination.

[@KajiXD]

Bullsh*t! This has nothing to do with satanism, and she declared the song's lyrics subject is herself.

[@heathcliffhermes]

@@KajiXD I'm afraid you are wrong.....

Ohh bhai good that u r listening to dope songs by madonna.. She has amazing songs... Best in pop music... Mujse pooch lio or next kispe react krna h

[@dawidwolak9505]

You should react to Madonna Shanti/Ashtangi where she sings in Sanskrit :)

[@NocturneSoul]

This is from her album "Ray of Light", her most spiritual album. She was studying Hinduism at that time, so the whole album is very inspired by that and also by Buddhism, Islam and Kabbalah. And she practiced Ashtanga Yoga for many years. She's a very good yogi. She also sang a song in Sanscrit called "Shanti/Ashtangi", you should react to the live perfoemance!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joC1loapYs-Jh5I
