Americans React to Kaushiki Chakraborty (Indian Music) Exquisite Afternoon 

What else should we react to???

Most musicians: goes from 0 to 💯 Indian classical musician: starts from 💯 goes to infinity ♾

You have barely scratched the surface of Indian Classical music! Oh you’re in for a magical, sublime ride!!

She's my hero!

Americans: we discovered rap Le Indians: hold our classical music

Bollywood is not the form of Indian music....this is the most purest form of Indian classic music...🙏🙏🙏

1 like for kaushiki Chakraborty ❤

She was not singing Just words she was singing actual notes form octaves . Like C D E F G A B C . Thats Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa .

It's her... 25 years of Riyaz(practice)... almost 8 hours a day... She's definitely a known master in India🤗

She is daughter of pandit Ajoy chakrabarty..

Congratulations!!!! You have entered the world of Indian Classical music!!!!❤❤❤❤😍😍 And Thank you sooooo muuchhh for this!!😍😍😍❤😙 And just Enjoy now😍😍😍

Ricksegall... I Love how ur unafraid of putting ur emotions. Love u brother

She is our bengali singing queen...lots of love from india.....proud to be a bengali... she is a legend

THIS level of fluid agility in modal voice is seldom seen in Western singing, even among the best lyric-coloratura sopranos. Perhaps the only three female Western singers with this level of fluid agility are Ingeborg Hallstein, Caterina Valente and Maureen McGovern. Indian classical singing is almost unparalleled.

No Rihanna, no Katy Perry, no one can do this. Singing is an art, but singing like this requires a lot more training and hard work, not just talent

You should react on 'Zakir Hussain'. Best Tabla player in the world.

She is basically tampering around With the notes 'do ra me fa so la ti'(known as 'sa re ga ma pa dha ni' in indian culture) in a way U cannot even imagine.

Indian classical music is an ocean... This was just not even a whole drop of it. Its so huge ....u can't even imagine!!!

Most of the Indian Cinema playback singers start with classical music first. It gives them solid foundation.

You should have brought a vocalist on your video for this reaction. The notes she was touching were out of this world. Edit: Also, traditional Indian classical music consists broadly of Hindustani and Carnatic music.

That’s Hindustani Classical : Raag Bhimpalasi rendered beyond perfection. There are so many traditions of Indian classical music adorned with all the Raagas and Raaginis, it’s an ocean

This is not stupid reaction.... Anyone will be stunned hearing this Saraswati Devi.

That is Hindustani classical music ( Carnatic you saw last time is from south India) .. what you witnessed is just a peek into the beauty that is called Indian classical music!

the sad part is that not many people know her in India, not even me. traditional music is dying in India.

Southern, Western and Eastern India was truly connected with classic Indian music from ancient times... ❤️

India is india how long u dig u find something new n greatness, love n respect for indian hindu's from indonesia.

The descipline of Indian classical music is magic.. it can make it rain, it can light lamps, it can cure illnesses, it can even make one self realize.. These practitioners practice it as a worship of mother Saraswati 🙏

If you get the lyrics, you'll fall in love with the Indian classical music

Not just vocalization..the 'words' she was taking rapidly, certains portions were actually speaking out the notes she was singing. Total mastery. She is a child prodigy and current flag bearer in a long and illustrious line of classical musicians. Not merely years, full lifetimes dedicated...

As a musician, i am so happy you've entered the world of indian classical music❤️❤️ far more tougher than Bollywood songs🔥

You have just scratched the surface of Indian Classical Music *laughs in almost 300 different ragas*

"Anything that can ever be done either by mankind or God, has been done in this land" - Mark Twain on India

This is not singing..this is pure devotion. Indian classicals are more than music ..it's devotion, it's worship.

And that my friend is the finest example of Indian classical music... the more you go into it, the more you lose yourslef and the more you find yourself! ❤

Wait till you hear Pandit Bhimsen Joshi....magical

Its a practice for more than 18 hours a day with a fully attentive mind and heart. afterwards the goddess of knowledge (Saraswati) gives boon.

wonderful rendition. This is our culture which is more than 10000 years old.🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳

This is just 0.1% of all indian classical music

She is the best at this time in my strong opinion. Her father Ajoy Chakraborty is also amazing, her father's grand teacher USTAD BADE GHULAM ALI was a singer that we'll never see anyone like, in our life time.

React to breathless by shankar mahadevan

She is the daughter of famous classical vocalist Pandit Ajay Chakraborty.... and u r correct.. she is an amazing Talented and exceptional voice with strong classical music..

There are many diamonds in classical music in India........ You have heard only 0.1%........

Sounds are vibrations , vibration is the energy. Energy is the universe. If u really understand sounds and feel the sounds u can understand mystics of universe.

its only when non Indians appreciate Indian Classical music, Indians start appreciating it. India you are real gold in every sense

Wait till you witness Pandit Bhimsen Joshi ji nailing Raag's ☺️🇮🇳🧡🙏🏻😘 Kaushiki is class ❤️

The pure Indian Classical gems of India usually aren't famous... bcoz they usually don't sing in movies/in big albums.

Korbin : How ? Me : Decades of training 😄 My Sunday morning got better.. Tq OSR

Just Forget Any fastest Rapper in the world.....!!! Here is Speed of light.... :D

Shastriya sangeet (Spiritual Music) was formed in india to connect with god means with your true self and singers used to sing scriptures's shlokas and verses through shastriya sangeet

I'm a carnatic singer and this makes me SO happy. This is what makes music so amazing! It is a universal language. Music produces feelings that need no translation.

She just killed the Eminem from my heart.

U shud also different types of dances like Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi

Welcome to the whole new world of actual indian classical.😁❤️

She is Kaushiki chakrabarti,, daughter of pandit Ajay chakrabarti from Kolkata.... Her music school is most prestigious school in Kolkata... Talented student got chance to admit here

That wasn't Carnatic, by the way. It was Hindustani Classical

That's just a drop in the ocean.. listen to her father Pt. Ajay Chakraborty, PT. Jasraj, Bheem Sen Joshi, Kishori Amonkar

She is a goddess who descended on earth to perform and astound us! Pranam to her 🙏🙏🙏

You are yet to be exposed to Pandit Jasraj, Kishori Amonkar, and other classical Indian music stalwarts

Oh damn, you haven't heard the legendary God mode "ustaads" yet !!

React to Ustad Zakhir Hussain's Tabla playing ..he is the best tabla(percussion) player on the planet

This is the real Indian classical music that takes many many years of practice. It belongs to those like you who can appreciate it. 🇬🇧

Rick literally lost his mind

This is just a starting man ... We have thousands of legends like her ... List is so long 😍😊😉

Her father is one of the biggest composers and a guru.

This is why if you have a classical base you can branch out to any genre.

They could've fainted if they had reacted to pandit bhimsen joshi video 😄

all those people who are saying "you have barely scratched the surface of Indian classical music" and what not, i don't think its true, you guys understand a lot, and we appreciate it deeply from the bottom of our heart. you guys are watching some serious classical music, and its way cooler when you all are kinda able to understand whats going on there. lot's of love❤❤

You can also react to Dr. Balamuralikrisha's concert's, Nityasri Mahadevan, Saumya, and Sudha ragunadhan are good as well.

Enimem :-I am fastest rapper Classic Ind music- Hold my 😅

So sad that we Indians are about to lose are own art and culture voluntarily.

It is called ghamakas which you control multiple breaths with voice.. She is one of the famous singers in India. Many more to search and react to if you can appreciate 💕our karnatic music. Please react to sri M S Subbulakshmi the legend of karnatic music 🎤🎼🎹🎶 "Baja Govindam", "Nagumomu kanaleni" And many more songs of her🙏👏👍💐🌹🌺🌸

This is indian classical music 💓💓💓💓and she is kaushiki Chakraborty daughter of pandit Ajay Chakraborty ❤❤❤

Oww my god her voice and speed unbelievable.🙏 Her ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In India we have the no. Of people like her pls watch more of Indian classical music😊

React to Katyar Kaljat Ghusali! It’s an award-winning Marathi film about classical singing!

you can react to Shankar Mahadevan's breathless one can't imagine where he takes a breath

Love your reaction! ❤️❤️❤️ This is the good side of RU-vid. A whole world of beautiful arts and knowledge at a click of a button. Great artist we never new about before are unveiled to us. 🙏🏻So much to see, hear and learn. Unfortunately there is also a lot of ‘bleeeeep’ stuff on the internet. So I guess we just take the terrific with the awful. Good luck to you 🍀

She is a Bengali. Why not react to satyajit Ray from bengal....one of the greatest director of all time.

That is HINDUSTANI MUSIC... The art is ancient... You haven't heard the legendary classical singers... They connect you with the cosmos...They are so amazing.

this happens because classical indian vocalists are always trained. They practice to be great. Tis not natural.

Classical singing is the toughest singing in the planet. Who is master in indian classical is the angle of music.

Most incredible is her fluidity and total freedom from tongue tension. Even the best lyric-coloratura sopranos in Western classical singing can't quite match this, with very few exceptions such as Ingeborg Hallstein and Lucia Popp.

She is from my city Kolkata..the city of joy 😘😘😘😍😍😍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Atlast you reacted to something out of bengal...I am so so upset with you coz you have reacted to movies from all regions of india except for East of India -Bengal where the likes of the greatest ever movie director was raised like Satyajit Ray.

I want Eminem to see this and feel that the supersonic speed was so slow...

Kaushiki Chakraborty,Shreya Ghoshal,Arijit Singh are all pride of Bengal ,India...Proud of them truly 😊 Wonderful review...👍

Love the topics you pick from Indian culture...😊👌😀 Edit- I think you should react to Indian monuments.. specifically south Indian temples... You will be mesmerized by their carvings and sculptures...

1. Pls listen to sitar and indian intrument very commonly used in hindustani music by pandit ravi shankar. 2. Flute by hariprasad chaurasia 3. Pandit shivkumar sharma playing the santoor. 4. Jayanti kumaresh playing the veena 5. Ambi or lp subramaniam playing the violin.

I love Kaushiki Chakraborty ♥️ Absolutely amazing voice.

Our music is like that... this method of vocalisations is common practice of singers.. She is brilliant at it there's no doubt... but there are many others as well... I think you should react to Lata mangeshkar.. Her voice is pure magic... ❤

Her father Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty is an absolute masterclass. No wonder she is that talented.

That is Sashtriya Sangeet(Indian Classical Music). She is one of the best we have. There are more... Find them and enjoy☺️

I listened her in many concerts She always spell bounds the audiance. She is miraculously excellent.

Kaushiki ji is one of India's finest classical musicians. Such performances are not rehearsed to a script. These are sung impromptu on stage. Let me explain. This piece is based on Raga Bhimpalasi. A raga is a combination of musical notes and is sung in one scale for any given composition (some compositions may have scale changes). Similarly, the rhythm is also set for either the entire piece, like in this case it is 16 beats. It can also vary with portions of the composition. This is not a lyrical. It is note based. In Indian Classical music we have ascending and descending 7 musical notes just like Do Re Me...These are - Sa re ga ma pa dha ni (ascending, C D E F G A B C) and sa ni dha pa ma ga re (descending). Raag Bhimpalasi is a pentatonic raga which goes like - :ni sa ga ma pa: ni sa (asc 5) and :sa ni dha pa ma ga re: sa (des 7). When Kaushiki ji sings, she sings keeping in mind two things, the notes for ascension and descent are aligned to the above structure of the raga in all possible combinations (there are more technicalities, perhaps beyond the scope of this platform) and they get set into the beat pattern (You'll see the tempo increases or decreases based on the number of notes she sings per beat cycle). The same notes are sung in the above combination, mostly across 3 octaves of the selected scale. Such performances can go on for hours and usually last for the entire night at times. The singers do not think and sing. They have practiced to a level that their throat (vocal chords, larynx, diaphragm, lungs etc.) develops a motor memory and can intelligently churn out the right notes and form a melody like a musical instrument. This is the essence of vocal (or instrumental) training in Indian classical music. Each and every sound the performer makes is an independent musical note!

Behold .. these are deep waters...Indian classical music is the oldest in the world.. and u have just opened for urself the Pandora's box..

Guys, you have barely listened to Indian music. This is raag Bhimpalasi, and there are 299 more !

I just landed here casually. Kaushiki is simply out of this world no doubt about that but I was also enjoyed watching Rick get overwhelmed by the dexterity of her voice. Understanding raag Bhimpalas would help further understand what was going on and enjoy and appreciate it at another level.

Welcome to Hindustani classical music. Classical music started from ages.classical music originates from language Sanskrit which is the base of every Indian language. It is a sea in itself. She sang beautifully. There are thousands of such singers in India .

Indian classical music is a whole different planet to explore, guys! And that's one art form where all the players are equally appreciated, so you'll see people loving the singers, but you'll also see equal appreciation for all of the instrumentalists, in fact, you'll see a lot of purely instrumental concerts as well. Check out any of the musicians that play at the Sawai Gandharva Festival, it happens every year in Pune.

Plzzzzz react to "shankar mahadevan" breathless song
