Rolling stones makes k artist react but its me who ends up finding new good music i only explore in korean music industry I'm definitely guilty abt not looking inside our music but anyways thanks rolling stones india

[@Shotswitpoo]

You don't ever have to feel guilty about music. It has no boundaries nor languages. So listen to what makes you happy. However, that being said there are independent bands in India that don't get much attention and they are really great! Yes not everyone know about them but not your mistake again because k-pop on whole has become very popular. It's not that you will not support the Indian bands if you knew about them 🤗 So listen, explore moreover stay happy.

[@akansha1771]

@@Shotswitpoo yep🥺

[@rashmikiran4602]

Ya'. Same here. Like all 3 of these band were so awesome. I specially loved the lyrics of The last band's Song. It was soooooóo deep. 🤧 I feel like crying . Every word every line hit me Like a TRUCK 🤧🤧🤧💜💓💓💓💓💟💜💜💜💜💟💟💟

[@annieniraj2479]

So true.....

[@reetpanchigar2398]

It's okie dude you listen to kpop you already got a great music taste and well talking about Indian music it's just aesthetic on the another level

[@zenzenzense1562]

See when you listen to Indian classical music you automatically get the Indian nod 😂

[@livdevaraj6363]

Right I was like bobbling his head like a true Indian 🤣🤣🤣

Gosh I just noticed that 💀

[@purpleglitz]

This was so fun and interesting, as an Indian I'm not familiar with Indian bands either, I had the same reactions as him.

[@harshoo_gowda]

As an Indian Black Rose... The amount of respectful curiosity Woosung emanated was so endearing... I've always loved him but it just took my affection towards him to a whole new level

[@niyati7880]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sheetaldambal4494]

Agree

[@andiec8024]

I love how thoughtful and intelligent he is with making comments

[@sapphictron69]

when woosung said “are there any subtitles ? i want to see the lyrics” i felt that. When i like the music i immediately want to read the lyrics too !! (its so weird that the lyrics always tend to resonate with me)

[@s.majumdar9388]

Rolling Stones is the only channel that has always promoted music from North East , and I am living for it. Thank you so much. Love from Tripura 💕😭

[@puddlemini]

Coke Studio has been amazing as well

[@supr33]

I'm a Black Rose and I found it really endearing how Woosung was really curious about the sitar and wanted to learn more 😊 I used to play a little bit as a teen but couldn't find a regular teacher so I gave it up. I think he'd be amazing if he learned to play. Anyway I'm happy with the recommendations they showed him, great picks!

[@anchalsingh3954]

Ikr,I used to play sitar a teen too and gave up but I'm thinking of picking it up again

[@mishitathapar9111]

It might seem like bit of an impulse, but I want to learn the sitar as well. My mother learnt the sitar and almost reached the level of an expert, but she had to leave it behind. I think Indian musical instruments are really underrated, especially ones that create different sounds entirely, like the sitar.

[@atreyeemitra924]

The " one two three drums" got me. He is just too cute.

[@littlesushie]

He was bamboozled when they didn’t play out hehehe

[@nakumac8187]

I am a fan of both the rose & the local train and watching Woosung reacting and enjoying Indian bands is something really great to watch. I hope he will explore more of Indian music 😍👍

This is my first time hearing indian BANDS and so happy to bump onto the local train, def gonna check them out

[@keysburntgucci9016]

Check out Trance Effect from Nagaland. Actually Nagaland haa plethora of good musicians that we are missing out on.

[@keysburntgucci9016]

Forget Sammy, heck I AM impressed with the Sitar maestro. Taking a classical instrumental like Sitar and fusing its sound with rock genre. Kudos to you Sir! Fame the Band, I'm gonna chek that song out. The Local Train, they're great. Really appreciate Rolling Stone for bringing Woosung -a korean band artist to react to Indian bands.

[@Acuriouscase77]

it is so innovative the fact that they fused sitar and metal together so sick

[@earthiena]

As an Indian I am glad that I knew two of the bands, and as a multistan I am glad that I know and stan The Rose and Woosung. For those who doesn't know The Rose released their new song few days ago, do check it out !! Thank you rolling stone for this. 🦋

[@d.osrecentpostoninstawasin4128]

Like, really? Their level of talent is much so higher than what they are getting in return. They need recognition!

[@howtowithd6717]

Each state of India have some incredible bands. Look deeper and you will discover a lot. I grew up listening to "Mohiner ghoraguli" the first band of Bengal. Then there's "Bhumi" , "Cactus", "Fossils" many more. We are so focused in international culture that we forget to explore what we already have.

[@iwritetotastelifetwice]

"When chai met toast" are honestly the indian band that I really really admire! Wish people recognised them more ):

[@apekshadixit4267]

Woosung himself has such a unique & raspy voice & him looking into Sitar is a win for Indian Black Roses !
