Aniruddha is correct. The tabla player sped up a little beyond what she wanted, so she said "slow" to him (you can read her lips) to ask him to slow the tempo a little. You can hear him slow immediately afterward. Happens commonly in classical concerts, especially considering these are not rehearsed and the tablist is accompanying based on the dynamics of singing alone, not on a script.

@@arundhatiroy7799 no i am a classical singer . I am telling you how . If you are doing "gamak" than it will consume more breathe while if you speak and perform the taan it will consume less oxygen. However our breathing lenght increased automatically after performing it almost for 2 or 3 years . It takes so much time . And yeah also that fast vibration which kaushiki ji had done is called "Gamak" in indian classical . need almost 3-4 years of practice for 4 hours a day to perform it fluently with pinpoint notations . And also she make that notations on spot suddenly while singing the classical song with pinpoint notations . Here 16 beats mean your song will match on 1st beat . I know its little complicated but in this song the line "mandir" on this song is the matching point of this 16 beats taal . And notice after performing ramdom notations she match that "mandir wa" line on 1st beat The full beat is called - 1DHA | 2DHIN | 3DHIN | 4DHA | 5DHA | 6DHIN | 7DHIN | 8DHA | 9NA | 10TIN | 11TIN | 12NA | 13TETE | 14DHIN | 15DHIN | 16DHA i added numbers on every beats side . So the word of the song"mandir " should match on 1st beat called DHA . Thats the game if you manage to match you won and if you failed you lost Thats why she is enjoying. Hope i succeded to explain you every basics of indian classical in short . I am like a junior in classical just learning . SHE is like the masteress who can never fail . No one can surpass her .

[@arundhatiroy7799]

@@LLAWLIETkiracatcher Yeah I know a little.....I am a student too.....though a very novice one😅 Actually you may think that the breath control comes automatically, but it doesn't. People think so because our training and practice is embedded with such materials in a way that you don't even realise it while doing. Remember the times when during riyaz you tried to hold Sa for a long time without a shake in your voice? The duration of that Sa increased every next day with practice, if you remember. That's breath control training😁 And Kharaj riyaz of course increases this control even more. Same goes for Palta riyaz that is done in the very beginning of training. While trying to sing more and more complicated and longer patterns, we actually exercise our breath without realising, because all of it is mostly breath singing unlike Western. I know that gamak takes more breath, but I don't know much about it. My training is more inclined to semi-classical like Tappa where they don't use a lot of this type of alankars. Thanks for the information.

[@LLAWLIETkiracatcher]

@@arundhatiroy7799 yeah i got it😅 . Actually i never noticed that the duration of sa of mine has increased a lot also . I usually streach sa without any semisur for almost 20 seconds for now . And if i make it round riyaz like sa..................pa (of lower octave ) i can do it for 15 seconds. I know its very less time than usual but i am just learning now . I am learning in a fully classical wave so i dont know what is the riyaz of tappa and ravindra sangeet . But after your comment i just noticed that think . Thank you you teach me something new

Let me share about Indian classical Music. In Indian Classical music we have have saptak(octave) (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa) For a male we have base note C# (As of C#3 in harmonium) 1.C# equivalent to Sa 2.D# equivalent to Re 3. Ga- F 4.Ma-F# 5.Pa-G# 6.Dha-A# 7.Ni-C 8.Sa-C# (C4#) These are pure notes. The notes left in between are Komal swaras like re(denoted small letters) is equivalent to D note ,ga is equivalent to E note and so on. Now in a sargam Sa and Pa don't have Komal swaras. Singers usually sing in three octaves which is Mandra saptak, Madhya and Taar saptak. This C#2 base is for Madhya saptak (Root note) . There are many raags in Indian classical music more than 300( I don't know exact). Each raag has its aavroh and avroh which is Ascending and descending order. And when I saw ascending and descending order it's not merely just singing those particular notes but it is glinding between those notes. In this Raag We have Aaroh (Ascending)- n S g m P n S°( note that the small letters are Komal swaras) Avaroha- S n D P m g R S° This performance by Kaushiki Chakroborty is an impromptu, she is gliding between those notes in any permutable manner hitting those exact notes. She has developed this type of muscle power through intense practice which lets her sing this without missing any note. at 4:57 you are right she is just oscillating so fast between notes, many people mistake it for vibrato. At 7:00, the musical ornament used is called taan, which is gliding between notes very fast. Taan can be sung in words using (Sa re ga ma Pa ni Sa) or using the sound aaaaaa. In starting and many other parts gliding between those top notes and lower notes so fast is taan. These classical singers put decades into practice. Most of them start their practice from early age as low as 5. They are very pitch perfect. Mahesh Kale is also very appreciated classical singer in India. If you want to go deeper into classical music then listen to pandits and ustaads of classical music. Like PanditBhimsen Joshij, Pandit Ajoy Chokroborty. (Kaushiki was trained by her father Pandit Ajoy chokroborty). Classical raags are so diverse that some put upto 10 years practicing just 1 raag. Every raag has its specific time to play. Like Raag bhairav is supposed to played in the morning 6-8 am.

[@SavereeJoshipura]

I've learned both western & indian classical & your analysis was spot on!

[@PatSen]

Hi H of the Stage, At last a reaction to classical music!!!! This excerpt of Kaushiki singing the fast part of her presentation of the hour-long Raga Bhimpalasi is almost viral. While it’s spectacular, it’s really not the most aesthetically sublime portion. She herself had said in Rick & Korbin’s KZbin channel that she finds the slower part more demanding. That requires lots of musical familiarity to listen to as well. So I’ve given you some web resources below and written notes to make them contextual. Apart from this Kaushiki vlog, what you’ve heard from India is really film music and that is categorised as ‘easy’ music (sugam sangeet) here in India. Then there is semi-classical music in which there’s thumri, dadra, chaiti, ghazal, natyageet and more. However, the fountainhead of it all is classical music of which we have two styles. Beyond the ability to sing is the ability to use the effortless mastery of singing to explore emotions and abstract concepts. You will get an introduction to that through the links of the classical masters below. The notes will give you the context. There is a more fundamental point that western-trained musicians must understand. To grapple with the indic musical idea you will need to abandon the western trope of 'singing between notes, flitting like a butterfly between notes', ‘going to the head voice from chest voice’, etc. The 12 note fixed frequency scales of western music is a severely restricting concept. Shreya is an excellent playback singer and has good classical training. Yet if you listen to more classical singers - not just Kaushiki- you'd be astounded. Go to Darbar Festival on KZbin, they are short videos and showcase the best of both of India's classical streams of music - Hindustani and Carnatic. Shreya derives her training from the Hindustani system. And Kaushiki is from the Patiala Gharana (musical lineage) of Hindustani classical music. What you called trills are devices collectively called Alankaar. There are many kinds, and to give a few examples: The quick trill you heard is the murki, the fast turn on the notes is called gamak, and the slide from one 'note' to another is called Meend. 'Notes' are called Swara and are not defined as a fixed frequency, but as a space; hence it varies depending upon the raga. Instead of 12 stops, we have 22 'stops' in an octave - the 12 Swara and 10 Shruti. The Shruti are used contextually, depending on the raaga and the mood that is being teased out through the raaga. Its nothing like the western system, hence trying to understand it using those concepts will be unhelpful. You are very correct about the microtones...and which is why where possible classical singers have a sarangi player as accompanist rather than the harmonium. But harmonium is easy to carry and is easy to learn, hence there’s a preponderance of them as accompanists. Enjoy! In case you are curious to know more, drop me a line. Cheers! Pat from Mumbai Ravi Shankar explaining ragas kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHJhIiFnsalZs0 Note: ragas are categorised in many concurrent ways. The emotive categories include: - by time of the day (more accurately by ‘prahar’ which are three hour clusters. Hence 1 day = 8 Prahars); - by the 9 rasas or moods (here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasa_(aesthetics)); - by season (6 seasons: grishma, varsha, sharat, hemant, sheet and vasant) Other important ways of classification are mostly technical. You may want to know about two of these: by thaat and by jaati; the classification by raaganga is fascinating too. What is dhrupad? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHOwm4SamZulmqs Note: this is the most ancient form of classical music in the subcontinent. Carnatic and North Indian classical music are derived from this fount. Some North Indian khayal-singing Gharanas like Agra Gharana and Gwalior Gharana rely more on dhrupad for defining their style of music. The other gharanas are less so. What is a raaga? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXPXd6dpfbqeipI Note: swara is not a note in the western musical sense, ie. it’s not a fixed frequency. The swara changes it’s frequency based on the needs of the raaga. For instance, the ‘rishabh’ swara of Raaga Multani is higher than usual. And there are many such raagas that need higher or lower swara. It’s best to understand swara as a small and defined melodic space. But not a fixed frequency. These higher and lower musical *tones* are called ‘shruti’. They cannot be played on discrete-note instruments like the piano or the harmonium. Some maestros in vocal music: Surshri. Kesarbai Kerkar: [raga lalit, time - dawn] kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGKriZmLZdKIpJo Ustaad. Amir Khan sahab: [raga marwa, time -early evening, possibly the most contemplative recording in existence of khayal gayaki. Raga Marwa's mood is that of an elderly person looking back with sadness at the regrets in life but without being maudlin. There is tight control on emotions] kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIe0dWR4l9GsgNk Ustaad. Bade Gulam Ali Khan sahab: [raga sohini, same swaras as Marwa but totally different intent. It conveys restlessness that comes from non-consummation and peevishness even, from the film Mughal-e-azam, time - late night] kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DFYnyVfsuYm5I Gaan Saraswati. Kishoritai Amonkar: [raga ek-nishad bihagda, time: midnight, one of my favourites. It's a live recording from a mehfil and a youthful Kishoritai, probably from late 60s. A mehfil is usually a small intimate gathering of rasiks (aficionados)] kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGLLdGSjgZuhe68 Pandit. Kumar Gandharva: [raga desi, time - late morning, its a complex raga, one of my personal favourites. Its emotion is that of a person pleading to be heard, a person saddened and feeling alone, asking for help. ] kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWizdI2gftN2fpI Smt. Gangubai Hangal: [raga asavari, time - post dawn, a powerful, haunting and plaintive cry directed at the goddess. Gangubai was a minimalist and learnt from the same guru as Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. She was less known but was utterly compelling. This is also one of my most favourite renditions] kzbin.info/www/bejne/i568lIxrjJWFmpY Pandit. Jitendra Abhisheki: [raga bhimpalasi, time: late-afternoon, this raga ushers in the evening. So the sense of looking back at the day's activities, preparing for prayer and contemplation. It is one of the 'big' ragas like Marwa, Darbari, Malkauns, Multani and Todi. Typical live performances are an hour long for these]. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPXiXh-gdOqmck Begum. Parveen Sultana: [raga jog, time- midafternoon, lovely raga with overall romantic air with just a hint of eroticism]. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ_UnYR_j62ceM0 There are some maestros whose voice didn't record well with the microphones of that era. Arguably the greatest of our masters, Aftab-e-mousiqui. Ustaad. Faiyaaz Khan sahab was one such. His recordings exist but I wouldn't recommend any since they don't capture even a smidgeon of his awesomeness. The present times has many fantastic, and potentially great singers. If you are interested in them, let me know. Enjoy!!! Pat from Mumbai

Best intro.👌👌👌

[@anuktachattopadhyay6457]

I don’t know who you are - but you have discovered musical nirvana. That you are able to appreciate it for its perfection, it’s intricacies and complexities which is Indian classical music, shows that you have a deep understanding and love of music itself. Wish you all the best in your journey of Indian music. To achieve the level of expertise Kaushiki has attained, one has to start learning the music from a very early childhood. Then it takes hours of practice everyday, a great guru to teach you, innate talent, and years of learning. Indian music, when sung or played by maestros - is the closest to divinity I can feel.

[@Reincarnation111]

Kaushiki's singing is pure magic. There isn't, and won't be, another one like her. People who are familiar with Ustad Bad Ghulam Ali Khan can see his clear reflections in her. That is the greatest compliment for any musician past or present.

[@adityamadhusudana1532]

Dude this is the power of Indian Classical music. It is one of the toughtest art in the world and to achive mastery in Vocal or any one instrument, One whole life is also not enough. Just imagine how vast and deep is Indian classical music❤

[@sayanbhattacharyya2593]

Great reaction. Now its time to hear Mahesh Kale live performance in Sydney. And also a duet performance of him and kaushiki mam.

[@atkprasannakumar]

The singer is fantastic, no doubt. But what is equally fantastic is .. your reaction to every single nuance. I really enjoyed every moment of it.

[@pintusaha992]

[@elvi9554]

She is singing one of My favourite bandish and the raag.

[@jaykachhela332]

As you noticed she is singing with help of her throat and her voice is resonating over her cheeks... Indian classical music also introduces the type of Vāni also you can say types of voices ... There are 4 types of Vāni 1. Parā 2. Madhyama 3.Pashyanti 4.Vaikhari ... Parā vāni resonates all over the body mainly resonates in the head... The best example of parā vāni is chanting Omkaar ... Then comes madhyama vāni this mainly resonates from chest to facial part origin of this vāni is from the chest... Then pashyanti vāni origin of this vāni is from navel part .. whenever a singer sings with this vāni resonance or vibration can be felt in the upper part of the body from navel to face ... N then comes most common and regularly used vāni that's vaikhari vāni it origins from the throat and its vibration and resonance can only be felt on the throat and on the facial part ... To reach the level of parā vāni Guni Jan (Masters) do Sur Sadhna (kinda meditation) for years.
