No this is nothing to do with western translation. So called Fibonacci series is actually Indian "Pingala sutras/series". Fibonacci in his book mentioned that he learnt this from Indian mathematician in North Africa. Acharya Pingala's time is considered 3rd-2rd century BCE. He is known for his work in mathematics, Music and grammar. He is author of famous "Chhandaḥśāstra" (also called Pingala-sutras), the earliest known treatise on Sanskrit prosody. Creator of Pingala's formula.

Hi guys! Konnakol is actually used for calculating the beats set in a particular pattern. It's usually used by classical dancers for their beats and also by classical Singers both as an aid and a compliment to instruments like Tabla

[@manjunathbaburao8544]

What a surprise!! The male artist in the first video - Somashekar Jois is my school senior. Seeing him after years on your channel was a pleasant surprise. Konnakol is amazing! Also delve more into Mohini Dey, the bassist for A R Rahman, she tries new bass picking with her background in Konnakol.

[@The-Progressive-EDM-Lover.]

How does that work?

[@freebird6908]

The Indian classical music at its peak

[@jupe2001]

There is a great video on youtube explaining Konnakol for western musicians, its called "Extreme Math Nerd Music (An Intro to Konnakol)" by David Bruce Composer

[@utbe2002]

You have just seen the tip of an iceberg. Waleska and Efra are some of my favourite reactors on the internet. I was waiting for the day Efra would get to this. Day is made.

[@anujnanagaraj5615]

This is also used to instruct/ set pace for dance forms such as Bharatanatyam. More the emphasis harder the dancer steps on the ground. if there's an elongation in the voice that ends lightly then the dancer can make a leap and land lightly. etc.

[@haroldwils]

South Indian Music has 72 complete scales, whereas Western music has 12 major scales. The fundamental difference between Western classical and Indian music, is that Western music has 12 absolute notes. Each note: C, C#, D, etc. has a specific frequency. Concert C is around 262 Hz for example. Ignore harmonics for now (i.e. the higher pitch or lower pitch version of C). However, Indian music is relative. In Indian music, notes are marked Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni, Sa. The human ear can distinguish 12 semitones in a scale, the 13th is the harmonic of the first note. In South Indian music, the first and middle notes are fixed (S, P). But the others can be permuted over. Note there are 3 possible R, and three G, but two R and G overlap - the same story with D and N. To find the total combinations of distinct scales (also known as Ragas), we need to use combinations. From 4 possible R, G we can choose 2. From two M, we can choose 1. From 4 D, N we can choose 2. From these combinations, the number of ragas comes to 4C2*2C1*4C2 = 72. Indian music has 72 distinct scales.

Wow bro u mixed math and music 😂 but seriously this info is amazing .

[@fusionx9593]

bro how many ragas are there in india???

[@DrupadGaonkar]

@@fusionx9593 Seventy two ragas in Karnatic Music and among other classical Indian traditions there are about 100 Ragas. There were about 300 but I think only those I have mentioned are remaining - the rest are kinda lost in time.

[@LoveYourself-ve2jf]

Thank u for this beautiful healing and very informative Reaction Video.This is like I m learning more about my Indian Heritage through ur Reaction videos. Friends pls keep doing this .Love n respect from India🙏🇮🇳

[@figuringitoutalive]

I feel the same way! I love Waleska and Efra, and thanks for your beautiful comment!

[@SonyStudioPro]

My opinion as a professional musician: this is way way waaaay harder then actual singing… you might not have noticed it, they actually do this in tone and notes…!

[@Skeptic_arun]

In an interview with Our stupid reaction Ustaad Zakir Hussain said that u can learn to play tabla in 1 year but it takes at least 10 years to learn Indian rhythmic repertoire..so you can understand the complexity.

[@spdcrzy]

I started learning tabla at the age of 4 and took regular lessons til I was in high school. Believe me, ten years is for geniuses and prodigies. It EASILY takes 20-25 years to master it at this level.

[@Skeptic_arun]

@@spdcrzy definitely I can understand. May be he's talking about fair enough level. Mastery on the subject may take 25-30 years. That's why we see almost all established Indian classical musicians are in their late 40s or early 50s because this is how much time it takes to be that polished in Indian classical music.

[@thehawkseye3412]

One year to set fingers on Tabla maybe. I have tried my hand a few times. Fixing the ring finger and hitting the table with next. The sound was so feeble...And they start hurting if you do not have practice. Before one can "play" anything complex they need their fingers to train to hit it properly.

[@spdcrzy]

@@thehawkseye3412 oh, yeah. I wasn't even good enough to play for bhajans until middle school at the very least.

[@Skeptic_arun]

@@thehawkseye3412 agreed! I'm not a tabla player but gauging by intricacies of tabla I can understand.

[@ashvinsivadas]

there are many songs in Indian music showcasing these Konnakol. One of these example is a song from A R Rahman "thiruda thiruda" tamil movie song named "thee thee thithikkum thee". Just have a listen.

Fibonacci sequence known to Indians long before it's rediscovered by Fibonacci

[@treesaregreen3009]

Hans Zimmer in his making video for dunes called in a foreigner lady who could do kannokal and called it "an unusual way of singing" and did not give the credit that it was carnatic music.. unbelievable

There's a misconception that Fibonacci numbers were invented/discovered by Fibonacci but actually it was an Indian mathematician named Pingala. The video showcases that Indians used Fibonacci numbers even before Fibonacci was born.

[@paulsaha2242]

I used to love this... when I used to come from college and sleep. It's like a head massage. I also like the pot instrument with these notes.

[@hsthast7183]

Hi guys, great stuff here. Some Konnakol suggestion: 1, INDIA METAL - Konnakkol by Andre Antunes (A rock remix of this very original video by Madrasna). 2. Explaining Meshuggah using KONNAKOL (Stengah) - Explained by the guy from the Berkly Music school cover of Jiya Jale by A.R. Rahman (you guys have already reacted to that cover). 3. Konnakkol Duet (INSANE RHYTHMS) Metal Version || Artificial Fear 4. 'Stengah' by Meshuggah with Indian classical musicians Thanks 🙏🏽

[@thehawkseye3412]

It's not just south Indian. In north we call it bol. Goes with Tabla and kathak or dholak etc. All the pieces of Kathak have their "bol" in similar way. And yes it is normal to do it without any instruments. In fact they may pause between performance and vocalize the "bol" for next piece and they play it on Tabala and perform Kathak piece on it. Kathak dance use the ghungaru ( foot bells) to follow it.

[@chandrashivpuri1224]

This is the language for tabla. It is called “ Bol”. They say the Bol first and then play the Tabla, the voice (person) and the sound ( tabla) sound the same. Bol is also used Kathak as well. They say the Bol first and then their feet make the same sound. You can see that Art and music in India is very very advanced and is a very old science. Almost 3rd millennium BCE !

[@The-Progressive-EDM-Lover.]

My friend does Kathak.

Fibonacci series or sequence is series or progression which occurs in nature e.g. how leaves are arranged or how petals are arranged etc. It has been abundantly used in ancient Indian temple architecture and as is obvious that in music as well. It is a mathematical progression with various applications.

Varijashree who is the lady in the video at 10:39 is a great artist. I was her junior in high school and I once participated in a state level Carnatic music competition with her as the lead singer of our team. We had a blast and it's one of my most cherished memories.

[@babaguru_ghantaal3363]

Have you guys ever wondered.. how Europe become intalectual and started inventing mathematics formulas, and other scientific inventions and started patent them just after 17th century.. because after 1700 they reach India and take all free education from here and patent them as they invented them..

[@vibhanshuagarwal2000]

The Fibonacci sequence and the Fibonacci ratio are part of the natural order of things; in all sorts of places, the perfect face in beauty will have Fibonacci ratios. You find it in snails, flowers, etc. It is pretty amazing that their beats/taal or whatever (forgive my ignorance, I am a complete noob in music) also follows this ratio. I presume the musical notes/frequencies (again pardon my ignorance) also follow these relationships. Perhaps they showed it to make understanding the structure easier.

[@fusionx9593]

its invented by indians

[@deepupatwal5005]

He is using that Fibonacci series because the classical music composition is also a science. He was showing that he was Not clapping randomly.

[@hsthast7183]

you guys should checkout "Raman Raghavam" mussic video from RRR movie. its a fusion of Rock with India art forms including *Konnakol.* Its exactly what you guys were asking for i.e. Konnakol + Harmonization/singing.

Now, watch someone dance to it.

[@neelamegansoundararajan9649]

These are the beats synchronise with steps in Bharath dance

[@sureshkrishnamoorthy5556]

the voicings precisely state what is played in the actual instrument (Tabla or mridangam). The tempo is a seven beat 4-3 Think of the voicing as a combination of sentences, each sentence fitting within a cycle . The more complex sentences go over three or sometimes 4 cycles. The sentences consist of words and words of syllables. The basic syllables are: Tha, Thi (or ri) , Thom, Nam, THalaang, ki , ta etc. If you listen closely, you can make out the sentence patterns. What the girl is doing is amazing and near impossible for normal human beings: keeping two different beats on her two hands while staying with the primary beat on the vocal.

[@user-ov3ro2vu5w]

Hi guys why don't you make interview with indan singers

[@The-Progressive-EDM-Lover.]

What a surprise. Konakols are on another level.

[@user-hn7fj9yx2k]

Fibonacci series is used in this because according to the hindu faith, the preserver god Vishnu, is found in the form of different Fibonacci series shapes on our planet which includes shells found at the sea, also in the shapes of a lot of fossils, leafs of the tree and even the galaxies are in the shape or Fibonacci series basically. So Fibonacci series has always been very important to Indian classical music. Western people may have learnt about Fibonacci series in last 400-500 years but Indian classical music has always had Fibonacci series in it. You can also see the same thing in the music of Mahesh Kale who is another example of doing the same thing. And if you dissect Indian classical music properly, you will find most of it (if it’s original and not fusion), then it will follow Fibonacci series pattern.
