[@thesaltlady]

Loved his hypnotic music

[@TESSINE]

amazing Vishal, so true to your wonderful form and talent....hope you return to TO soon and we can have some more mesmerizing evenings with your classical repertoire...

[@ClubdElf]

maalam brahim! this is brahim fribgane on oud, who is one of the most amazing musicians around.

[@anotheremerex]

The build up to the beautiful delivery at 3:50 is amazing. I'd love to find some more soft indian style music along these lines

[@mooxim]

I finally figured out why the prolonged finalle works: the audience get frustrated and the cheer builds up inside them so they're a lot louder when they finally get to aplaud.

[@MonkeyBallZ214]

Thank you TED for investing in high quality cams and audio recorders.

[@FlamingHomelessDude]

the human voice is as much an instrument as any other

[@007sahra]

Vishal sahab, you are the BEST !

[@HansonZoe]

Wonderful music, I loved it.

[@godfatherll]

wah kya baat hay...

[@XxINCHAINSxX]

Music is about sharing a view. I loved it.

[@aisha06baby]

THAT IS AWESOME... VERY HAPPY... VERY FUN..... LOVE IT

[@crudhousefull]

The play fight between the performing musicians is traditional. Really adds to the performance

[@nargisamini5512]

Wow very nice💖

[@mohitvaja8603]

Fabulous 👌

[@alanarrajj6150]

Feels like I'm going 130 mph and standing still, at the same time. Tyvm

[@longred]

I'm in love...

[@nandasahadeo]

Kya baat...beautiful voice

[@MrFrankBullitt]

Amazing.

[@GuineaJay]

Doesn't matter what language it is, I dug it. Made me wanna go get a bong.

[@westboundNinja1]

I LOVE TED

[@renegade4dio]

This is so not what I tune into TedTalks for, but I did like it. It was a musical form I have little experience with. Kinda mind expanding for that reason... The best part for me was the first 5 minutes or so, after that it started to drag a little for me. Oh, and for the guy who complained that he wasted 13 minutes watching the whole thing, I have no sympathy. Your browser has a "back button".

[@seanykc]

Love music, loved this.*

[@PSI236]

i liked it. i bet they could play all day!

[@theoriginalanomaly]

I liked it

[@paneerchamp]

basically, the sa sa re ga pa ma etc etc. etc. are the indian classical version of doh re me fa so la tee doh found in western classical music

[@bxox]

I like this vidd. TED give us more!

[@sokratiskappis8520]

wonderful!

[@AbhishekSingh-ix7rt]

how did i miss dis..!!

[@cronoscopic]

amazing performance i still don't get why TED videos which are not about numbers or world theories got disparaged. probably the authors of these talks enjoy this ones the most. not only with his brains but with his whole being.

[@dreamwind55]

It' s great as background for studying...

[@StationaryTransient]

Because TED stands for Technology ENTERTAINMENT and Design.

[@codenamerishi]

omg awesome !!!!!!

[@bryansteeksma]

yeah and thank integrity for that

[@Shaunt1]

Sun suane sun suane!

[@1schwererziehbar1]

finally some good music on TED. most times the music is terrible.

[@alieminemgmailcom]

@DanteMoodyFilms accordian only.

[@gadzometer]

Can you recommend one on youtube that is better?

[@nevek20]

Man this guy's pationate about it :D he's brilliant

[@jhashemi782]

👍

[@Rsamaki]

derbouka! woow! ;)

[@LudicrousTachyon]

The sound isn't full enough to be hypnotic but that might be my netbook speakers.

[@DanteMoodyFilms]

This is AMAZING. What's that that Vishal is playing, though? The box-like accordian?

[@bhupendrayt]

Harmonium

[@justvibe110]

@unhingedmind your right..

[@Radjehuty]

While I mostly agree, the last statement goes against the middle letter of the TED Acronym.

[@ElroyHarvey]

I wish TED became TD

[@vish1146]

I agree.. the music was tolerable at best and there are better and far more talented musicians in India and Pakistan who can mesmerise us with their music..

[@Paomnnehal]

Couldn't help myself from laughing when the video got to this part and I had just read your comment.

[@crudhousefull]

I wish they'd given more time to the tabla player. Some of the tabla solos are absolutely amazing

[@Anonymous-ec8op]

2021

[@Steadno]

ohm

[@MsVJean]

What's the name of this song? Where can you buy?

[@boylebongo]

it's hypnotic, you just don't know how to listen to it.

[@morningworm]

This reminds me of Spanish flamenco music played by the gypsies. It sounds like it might have an Arab influence.

[@Cocotte123321]

Anyone else feel like getting stoned whilst listening to this?

[@robinheil]

THOSE PANTS

[@JokerTheDank]

@Cocotte123321 i can't hear anything else when i'm listening this

[@doloppost]

Welll..... They'd better listen to Pete Namlook and have some Organic BC pot (thanks Misha Glenny for the tip!) if the TEDsters really feel like spacing out :)

[@FaolanHart]

I dont get why this is on TED. I mean I have nothing against the music, I just dont see how it is interesting enough to be on TED.

[@OmnicideX]

Britny couldnt come, this guy was next on the list.

[@ArgueExplain]

He got Micheal Phelps to play the bass?

[@ArgoSG]

Not bad at all for improv.

[@gnodar01]

ugh i hate it when i start reading comments.

[@vish1146]

I agree it cant be called hypnotic but then, it cant be called crap either :)

[@KiLLAxMAHN]

@Cocotte123321 DUDE I'm FUCKing high right now, listening to this!!!. The drum sounds, just sucked me in.

[@1966human]

Strooth

[@cuntsound]

Ravi Shankar, mayhaps.

[@Suprat0555]

You tried something new.. still good

[@bashirdavaie6300]

چی ضرور

[@glavatan]

OMG who can dislike this??? show urselves

[@QuadCanon]

is this farsi or indian ?

[@ensufuerointernoexul]

This is music from South Asia. It is from Pakistan.

[@bbs789]

hypnotic my ass

[@cronoscopic]

"brains" methaphorically could be an interpretation. maybe a more accurated one would be with both sides of the brain instead of using only/mostly the left side.

[@ph4rcyd3r]

this would be cool on shrooms

[@RhinoAts51]

At the start of the song I immediately knew that I loved this, but maybe not. After finishing the song there are several parts I did not like. His voice and the accordion. I liked most of his singing, and most of the accordion, but it got annoying. I find music like Ravi Shankar, which is mainly a sitar and some sort of hand drum, much more hypnotic. It can be playing always, but never intrude on my thoughts. Can't say the same about this by Vishal Vaid, although id love to hear more.

[@KiLLAxMAHN]

if they got 5.1 SS they would know.

[@accordeonist]

interesting music. u need to have a special background, a specific understanding of the scales of this music to comprehend it. If u dont like, dont shit ur pants yet. It is really very classical in composure. It is like asking an african tribesman to appreciate operah.,

[@samkhawse]

I guess he's trying to mix Indian Classical, Sufi and Hip-hop...

[@Kroder]

Who's talking to you? I wasn't.

[@timofly]

haha 3:05, he stops i dunno on purpose or not.

[@Smadlin01]

It seems you are unfamiliar with the ""X" my ass" construct within certain dialects of the English language. If you want to contest that something, is something, you can put it before "my ass" to display discontent, adjectives can be used in this structure. eg. two Glaswegians talking about the new James Bond movie: "it was interesting" "interesting my ass". The second Glaswegian contests the opinion that the movie was interesting by inserting interesting in the place of X in ""X" my ass".

[@Ackeljl]

really good music, but sounds like he left his cereal in the milk too long "Soggy sucks!" 7:00

[@devghai]

sa re ga ma pa = do re me fa so la He's not saying anything :D

[@1966human]

Trolled

[@ANVIKKY]

Don't know but definitely its not Japanese!!

[@String425]

dude repeating same words over and over totally ruins otherwise good music

[@IvanDrakaliev]

too much...

[@canadianmaple09]

Cool song, not usually the what I would listen to but it was neat. Not hypnotized though.

[@tastysandwhich]

not bad, but I don't really see what's so hypnotic about it...

[@Sardonac]

I disagree. The vocalist seemed to have great timing and hit every note as far as I could tell.

[@alcidesflores79]

how is this hypnotic??????

[@KiLLAxMAHN]

this is not punjabi, I'm punjabi.

[@JasonPrzybycien]

Pretty good. Not as good as Kimmo Pohjonen though.

[@FaolanHart]

I see, I study in an art college so I see this type of thing allot. Its good but like all things can get a bit tiresome, so that is probably why I dont think its all that impressive. Not that I could do any better haha.

[@DookieJuice1111]

@Cocotte123321 +1

[@captcaveman4201]

why in the hell is this on TED ?
