It's unfortunate truly amazing music like this doesn't get the attention it deserves. The skill level here is so high that most people don't understand or appreciate what they are hearing. Keep it up

[@adhanda2017]

and to think only a few years ago jazz was limited to 4/4 ...........

[@crapadopalese]

It's a lot of skill, but do you enjoy the result enough to play it at a party? Skill doesn't always equate beauty.

[@ghostboy152]

Her singing is so perfect

[@error.418]

She has an amazing voice to go with that rhythmic fluency

[@patdaveydrums]

I showed this to my wife and her reaction was "this is humans at their best. Sharing and collaborating". True say. I can follow the clapping beat cycle until the two performs split. Still working on it. Thank you.

[@dragonairone2485]

Pat Davey well put. This is humans at their best. So wonderful to see something like this shine so bright. It gives me hope that there are still the spiritually enlightened individuals tucked away, working on powerful ideas from the shadows of these “blind times” - (people like you Pat, the musicians in this video, and others who do beautiful work for the right reasons, thank you so much.). - A friend from the shadows

@@patdaveydrums good thanks! Been getting back into playing music after years of distractions. I wonder if KZbin knew to highlight your comment as I was watching/followed Tongue Fu stuff recently after Dan told me about you guys being on Radio 4. Or maybe just coincidence 🤷🏻‍♂️See you on insta!

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

How am I just now discovering this? This is seriously inspirational. I want to further study this in order to gain a better understanding of music and different cultures. Many of us Americans are so comfortable with our 4/4 time signatures and don't take the time to truly seek out other styles outside of our culture. I hope to learn something from this.

[@Luboman411]

Whoa. This is extremely impressive. I even yelped a little at 2:27, when the rat-tat-tat sped up to what seemed like a million beats per minute. Mathematically, this could rank up there in complexity to J.S. Bach, possibly. I don't know. There is just so much going on here. I just learned that this is the konnakol method in the Carnatic music tradition native to south India. Finally, a musical tradition that could challenge Western classical music in mathematical complexity...

[@xngr]

I think in raw mathematical complexity this is far beyond anything "western". Then again there's not much point in making it a competition, so let's just be grateful for all the music.

[@absidyabsidy2727]

@@xngr not "far beyond", people are doing some pretty crazy stuff in the jazz and DCI worlds nowadays, and modern western harmonic complexity blows carnatic out of the water, but konnakol offers some very useful rhythmic tools that western musicians should learn and use

[@theclashmta6246]

muy bueno amiga! :)

[@tjpellicer8054]

Incredible. I don't have a background in this style but I have a question. When VV reverses the tala at 0.44s, she claps the quarter notes before the sixteenths, i.e., 5/4+5/16+4/4+4/16...etc. When BC reverses at 0.57s he does the opposite and claps the sixteenths before the quarters, i.e., 5/16+5/4+4/16+4/4. Is this intentional? Obviously it's still 75 notes and will resolve itself after the cycle. Just curious.

[@ManjunathBC]

Yes intentional to give a small twist. Thank you

[@tjpellicer8054]
