The Music of India| Waleska & Efra react to Genius of Carnatic Vocals - Aruna Sairam

[@vaidehiiyengar8199]

The instrument you're referring to as double bass is called tanpura. It has 4 strings - 5th note, 2 strings of octave and last string the lower octave. It is used to determine the pitch and is used in all classical performances.

[@tharanidharan2685]

Waleska called it right. The drone is the Tanpura.. the 2 tall thingies that they strum along. That sets the fundamental "ambience" - at the desired pitch.

[@honeys4671]

7:58 That instrument is called a Tanpura. There is no harmonium track, it's the sound of the tanpura. It is a drone instrument which gives the first note of the scale Sa. Yeah it is a must in any Indian classical concert. You can watch this video by Kaushiki Chakrabarty where she explains about this instrument. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIK9mmhpj7aDjNEsi=DteqnHLaK6ScOBiI

[@vaishalimesta283]

Here the instrument which they have shown is veena and talking about tanpura by percieving veena as tanpura.Tanpura is to select the pitch. But Veena is the major instrument where all the swara's and ragas and compositions played completely.

[@samanthamasters5015]

Aruna Maa is a genius of a singer in carnatic genre. This is piece is called the " Thillana" which is also used in classical Bharathnatyam dance as the culmination or last number of the concert or the dance performance. It always includes the word " Thillana" in it.Very rhythmic, brisk in nature to explore the essence of a particular or collection of ragas to match the composition. U guys should watch a dance number too to get the feel of it.

[@ullaskrishnan79]

Jayanti Kumaresh who played Veena here is also veru good, check more of the instrument and her please...

[@VenkatGotru]

that instrument held vertically is Tambura, also called Drone? it gives that continuous background sound

[@Kukhyaati]

Tambura? Its taanpura. Atleast say it correctly

[@nayanakpenadan]

The instruments in it are, mrudangam, veena, tamburu, ghatam, violin.

[@ji7cn]

There are many styles of composition in carnatic music. For the most part, there are direct analogs for the same thing in both carnatic and hindustani. This is a thillana, which is a highly rhythmical/percussive form, and the analog in hindustani is called tarana.

[@harisharan7328]

Waleska is 100% right. That istrument is called a tanpura (generally huge, but sleeker models are availabe, some even without the big sphere, and even digital ones, hence, you get confused sometinmes). It is used to maintain the scale which one is singing (major or minor) in. The istrument has 4, 5 or rarely 6 strings. So for a major scale, one will be playing the strings denoting 1st (low and high), fith notes. Check out this link for eample, one that i generally use for practice :D. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCnp6Ocia-qgc0

[@PatSen]

3:19 just the opposite actually, Waleska. The tempo is constant in Carnatic and the taala patterns are mostly pre-determined. There is no vilambit or drut in Carnatic. In Hindustani, the tempo is set by the singer and it changes, going from slow(vilambit) to fast(drut). All the cues for that are provided by the singer. In addition to that often the singer or instrumentalist will ask the tabla/ pakhavaj player to follow a particular chaal and can be seen to correct the percussionist by speaking the tabla bols. As for the harmonium player, the singer will correct them or will ask to tone down/ increase the sawaal-jawaab, or will signal them to do a short piece with the percussionist.

[@swarajbharat5891]

She is not only master in the stage almost all are master guru in their craft in the stage

[@basavarajubr9355]

This presentation is called "TILLANA". "BHARATA NATYA" Dance is usually accompanied with this type of singing, where it narrates the scene or the story of the dance. Jai Sanatana.....🙏🏽

[@MrPoornakumar]

Telugu language, by its structure has that felicity for music (example: saa ma ja va ra ga ma na). That, combined with the syllables of percussion instruments (called "bol") makes that quality. Here, it is the "recitation" of a text.

[@bhagiganti]

Can you explain more?

[@ji7cn]

Guys also check out "Mishra Bhairavi Thumri" by Nina Burmi on the Darbar channel! You will really love it. Thanks for checking out more classical music!

[@rupluspeaks2u]

This is basically describing Krishna, dancing his divine dance on top of a multi headed serpent. That's why a lot of it is very rhythmic. The song is describing Krishna and the steps he is taking.

[@manmehakkaur2354]

Love the reaction but also on an unrelated note, Waleska looks so pretty bro wth???😭 Makeup is snatched, outfit is slaying and hair looks unreal✨🎀

[@Harshiahaha]

Yes Carnatic. Now more Carnatic singer suggestions could be Ranjani -Gayathri, Priya Sisters. I like them.

[@OnagotoBidhata]

Ah yesss! Vithoba Chala by Ra-Ga if it's on KZbin somewhere!

[@sweer2002]

After long time you catch this . That instrument called Tanpura. The main instrument of the show.

[@kamalajaykumar]

It's amazing how you two have taken not only to pop but the absolutely complex world of Indian classical music and Arunaji is among the Grand Masters....

[@pulkitverma3143]

she is a legend❤️

[@Sathishnalroad]

Vidhushi Aruna Sairam was born in Mumbai into a Tamil musical family. She received vocal training from her mother Rajalakshmi Sethuraman, who was a student of the Alathur Brothers and Thanjavoor Sankara Iyer.

[@mohitaggarwal7583]

U guys started with reactions and Indian music has grown on you two, now you discuss finer nuances

[@shivaramakrishnanaiyar4302]

The tempo in this particular piece is a reflection of how Krishnan dances on the head of serpent king Kalinga (being an uneven surface) hence the ups and downs. This piece is called the Kalinga Narthana Thilana. You can also listen to the same piece by Kuldeep Pal. Hope this helps

[@quiet7632]

Yo, how did you guys become like legit appreciators of Carnatic and Hindustani music to this degree since the last time I watched a video from you? Great insightful comments.

[@rahulgorde4093]

[@gandsungli]

The instrument you are confusing with Harmonium is "Tanpura" they come with different scales like A, C , D etc. Tanpura player keeps on harping it throughout the Classical performance, its also used solo as an instrument when a classical singer practices or exceecises alone. Its incredible to listen to it making that "Hmmmmm" sound without any vocal and any other instrument. Spotify has so many audios available for Tanpura at different scales. I listen to it to meditate and to sleep.

[@SouravDuttasobujerkone]

Welcome to the roots of Indian Classical Music...❤

[@saichaitanya4735]

You should really watch Aruna Sairam's Shanmukhapriya! It's just out of the world!❤❤

[@InnetTV]

Watch Maya who came to AGT and played karnatak fusion with metal 🎸🔥

[@RijuChatterjee]

Vale is right, the Tanpura is the "continuum" sound in the background. I think you guys often mistake the sound for a harmonium.

[@sahaj64]

In 7.45 slot the instrument is called Veena. Very old traditional instrument (in mythological stories Goddess Saraswathi's instrument)

[@indrajitmajumdar8590]

This is way above their and many of our levels... This should not be requested for reaction.

[@araragikoyomiiii]

how will anyone learn if they don't listen to it

[@indrajitmajumdar8590]

@@araragikoyomiiii peoples who have a knowledge of a, b, c, d level, if you give them a PhD thesis to read, will they understand? They don't even properly understand the extensive tala (best cycle), how can they understand that. They only got a primary school level understanding of that.

[@bujjivallepu4850]

[@ujjwalakulshreshtha9665]

I like that I am discovering more with you ❤

[@DarkSparrowGamer]

8:10 its the 1st, 3rd and 5th note scale keeper or maintainer. Best way I could describe.

[@drvasanthakumarkaggathir2998]

Instrument you are referring is VEENA, its widely used in Carnatic Music... One of the Beautiful, yet Difficult instrument.

[@saratsaratchandran3085]

The instrument you froze is Veena. It is probably the most ancient string instrument of India and it is an instrument that gives a full concert! Here it is acting as an accompaniment for the singer as the Violin is! The other string instrument at the back is a drone to maintain the pitch, embellish the singing and is called Tanpura!

[@Ajiteshanand]

The clay pot is called a Ghatam.. He is famous as Ghatam Karthick and is one the most famous Ghatam players in India

[@LtSCS]

Melodious instrument is RUDRA VEENA, make a video on it ,it's very unique and Melodious instrument

[@Bengali_Hindi17]

This sounds like the Kuldeep M Pai thing you had in your Carnatic vidio. I love it.

[@annaiyengar1980]

this is actually a classical dance piece.

[@chauhansharadj]

Your sister, before doing any programme, we practice it for hours but the notation is in our mind. We just have to indicate what to play and when.

[@akshargoswami2672]

We definately need you to check out more from Darbaar. One I would like to recommend is from Begum Parveen Sultana Raag Puriya Dhanashree. 🙏

[@asamvav]

Carnatic musicians are definitely more oriented towards Taal and Laya these days than Hindustani musicians. We sing in less diverse taals commonly than them. An expert in either field will have excellent rhythm control. But while hindustani musicians subconsciously listen for certain rhythm signatures on Tabla to understand where they are in the rhythm cycle at any one time, Carnatic musicians are trained more to keep the taals on their hand and can literally sing without any communication with the Mrudangam. This gives the carnatic music its special flavour as all musicians are just playing on their own and all communication in between is directed towards beautifying the piece. Sitar players or any instrument player for that matter in ICM has maximum communication with the percussion player be it Tabla or any other one. And there is a subtle competition there. Vocal artists can on the other hand disregard the percussion if need be. And it creates a point of annoyance if the percussion tend to improvise too much and creates a noise. Music in any system comes in harmony of all the artists involved.

[@aritrasen7733]

That instrument behind is called Tanpura

[@korakdatta]

You can watch her live at Darbar festival in October

This isn't the full version, though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZvKZmBomtmikJosi=Xz0RrTA-5Pu4QC8V Try this as well... ❤ This won't have the veena. Just the vocals, percussion (Mridangam, Ghatam), drone instrument called Tanpura (it maintains the pitch for the vocalist) and the Violin which compliments the vocals. Have fun! ❤

[@nehayadav772]

You should react to some classical dance videos. to get quick glimpse into major classical dances, I would recommend "Indian Cultural performance at Hannover Messe #MakeInIndia"

[@zunainmusani7778]

Please react on TURRI JANDI from coke studio Pakistan s15

[@reubenismyname]

So Indian classical music is modal and not harmonic. All modal music uses a drone and the tanpura/tampuram is a drone. It maintains a certain note so that everyone can recognise the base note and not go too far from it when using all the various ornamentation/alankaaram

[@A_for_AML]
