Classical Composer Reacts to Jiya Jale (A. R. Rahman) by the Berklee Indian Ensemble | Episode 775 

The entire Dil Se soundtrack is a masterpiece and represents some of Rahman’s finest work and Indian film music as a whole. Highly recommend checking it out.

Indian music is eternal and so sophisticated.

Didn't AR Rahman also win an Oscar for Jai Ho? (Slumdog Millionaire)

Excellent at every level and truly exciting and beautiful. I want to hear tons more of this!

I enjoyed the seamless flow from Eastern to Western styles. Superb musicianship all around!

That is FANTASTIC! Several years back, I saw Anoushka Shankar in concert and it was very similar, very Fusion mostly Indian and Jazz!

WOW! What a groove...

I think there are 16 performances in The Berkelee-ARRahman peformances playlist, and each of them is a great gateway for a non Indian as an introduction to Indian music!!

Rahman is a genius and this concert in his presence is fabulous. Why not try his Bombay Theme, only music or Taal se Taal, my favorite . If you don't know this composer, consider listen to him extensively. His music is magical.

Ar rahman what a musician world iconic musician

I recommend the following: "Exquisite Afternoon Raag Bhimpalasi | Kaushiki Chakraborty" "Divine Layakari | Raag Yaman | Ustad Shahid Parvez & Ojas Adhiya" "Shakti: Tiny Desk Concert" (The last song at 13:20)

Ar Rahman is considered as the god of music in India..his music literally teleports the listener to a higher dimension. He revolutionized indian music to a new era

You missed to mention A R Rahman won 2 oscars too ❤️

It was actually pretty true to the original! Masterful! People have to listen to the original soundtrack arrangements if they don't know this banger! AR Rahman is a god. He's done so many legendary soundtracks... the only parallel in the US film market would be someone like Hans Zimmer or John Williams.

1. A. R. Rahman, "Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera" (Swades): Berklee Indian Ensemble and Berklee World Strings and 2. Berklee Indian Ensemble ft. Armeen Musa - Jaago Piya from this same Berklee College. There are some more, but, these have waited 10 years.

This group si crazy ! (and AR Rahman's songs beautiful ;)

I think I requested this one on your channel sometime ago. Glad to see this one!!

Really amazing that you react to this music. Thank you so much for that. Just to mention this: The bass player, Achal Murthy, an Indian guy living in Luxembourg is the bass player of my son’s alternative metal trio “Atomic Rocket Seeders”. The band is: Berklee bassman Achal Murthy, the incredible drummer Luca Daresta, an my son TAP (Thierry A. Porcedda) guitar and vocals. A live recording: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gpvJx3ChJs0.html

Wow, I know nothing about the technicalities of music, but this is one of the best and most detailed reactions I have ever seen on RU-vid! Since you mentioned you have not heard the original (which is worth a listen even after reacting to this version), I would just like to point out that the lead singer here has a very strong Bengali (eastern Indian) feel to her voice and Hindi accent (and she sings fabulously), but it really clashes with the south Indian feel of the song.

@Doug you might REALLY enjoy the whole concert performance they did at Berklee Boston, with Mohini Dey on bass ... fantastic stuff !!!

Wow , long term follower here. Thanks for picking this up and doing a deep dive. As a person from India, Fantastic to see the recognition and your interpretation ! Now looking forward to the next metal Monday ; )

Ar Rahman pride of nation

This is a truly excellent song.

Pls pls check out ARRahman oscar winning background score, your ears will be blessed with sitar.....

Please do more videos like this! Indian fusion is amazing and is becoming more mainstream.

Thank you for reacting to indian music ❤

You need to react to the whole Berklee Indian Ensemble tribute to AR Rahman concert

Great reaction and insights sir to a cover I absolutely adore 🫡 ❤

Amazing, sir.

Sir, it seems to me like this is one of your first experiences with Indian music. This particular song is what AR Rahman is all about. This presentation of the original composition is fantastic. But if you ever find time, do listen to the original one, the baseline on that is one of the best ever recorded. The dynamic range of the track is vast, each instrument comes and shines. The singer Late Lata Mangeshkar (Legendary Singer) was the quintessential voice of the independent India. This track was never recognized for it's beauty in totality, majorly because of the lack of good audio systems had not reached every Indian home. But today, when I listen to it; it's one of the best mastered audio. The sound engineering is right up there with one of the best ever. The whole album "Dil Se" was a smashing hit; movie not so much. Do yourself a favor and listen to "Satrangi Re" from the same album, it will blow you away. If you're into music that technically is borderline insanely good; that track is one to start with. Every possible note in and above scale has been used and it works.

Incredible ❤

Another AR Rahman song “Chayya chayya” from the same “Dil Se” movie soundtrack was also used by Spike Lee for the film inside man starring Denzel Washington. Check out the videos of the original songs.. they’re pretty cool too

Love this! Have to recommend, the Shakti: Tiny Desk Concert.

Awesome ❤

The tracks never settled at one groove and one instrument 🎷

Plz do this more🙏

Loved the reaction. You should check out Agam - Rangapura Vihara next. It will blow your mind!

The lyrics are supposed to be a bride talking about her wedding night to a girl friend of hers. The singer Lata (RIP) famously disliked """dirty"""" songs so the lyrics are very poetic and try to evocate sensuality while being very nebulous and romantic. Helps that Gulzar the lyricist is probably the finest poet of our time here in India. Gulzar + AR Rehman have produced some of the biggest, most iconic, most influential bits of music in modern Indian pop culture.

should wtch 'Taal se Taal mila' what a music, the percussions❤

Helvering understands all kinds of music!

This made me proud 😄

Strongly recommended - Bol Hu by Soch [cokestudio version]

Hi, Doug. I've been waiting for the right time to make a suggestion and this is it. You must listen to Maria Kalaneimi's "Ahma". She, along with band members fron the Finnish Institute of Folk Music whip up extrordinary compositions. Ms. Kalaniemi plays the 5-row button accordion, which, if you are not familiar with it, is a mighty, redoubtable instrument by itself; ably supported by the rest of the band the music is alternately, cooly melodic then becomes wildly chaotic before resolving into a satisfying conclusion. It's almost exhausting. The whole album is amazing. Do yourself a favor! Hope you can get to this gem.

You can also check A.R. Rehman's Live show performing "Chandralekha". It is mind blowing.

Welcome to the ocean of Indian music .

From Radiohead to now AR Rehman! Glad you discovered this.

Nice!

AR Rahman Magical music🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I think if you say double harmonic major one more time Fariya Faraji will come at you with a pitchfork. This song is most likely in sindhu bhairavi raga (I'm no expert).

Berklee Indian Ensemble feat. Shreya Ghoshal - Sundari Pennae Please do a reaction for this as well. You will really enjoy this.

I can also recommend the Soemon ensemble from Japan

Watch VARAH ROOPAM lyrical from movie kantara one of the best from india 🙌🏻

Rahman is one of the best musicians of all times!

The magic of the Western string instruments that have no frets. You can make the harmonics you want. I love fusion from around the world when it touches on jazz, probably in my top 2 - 3 types of music.

Has he ever done music by Mahavishnu Orchestra or Shakti? Would be a very interesting thing to hear him dissect those.

Nice 💐🇮🇳👌

React "Endaro Mahanubhavulu" its a gem💎

You should check out the original version of the song if you haven't yet...

Please react-Berklee Indian Ensemble - Unnai Kaanadhu Naan (360 Video from Power Station at BerkleeNYC) Thanks.

This is indeed a fusion of jazz with Indian classical and contemporary music. It was interesting that you brought that up. In the original, however, you may notice a fusion of Indian classical and contemporary music. You may react to Berklee Indian Ensemble ft Shankar Mahadevan - 5 Peace Band (Live at Berklee) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dn_1O3J56E8.html This is originally a composition called 'Shakti' by '5 piece band' by John Mclaughlin, U Srinivas, Zakir Hussain, V Selvaganesh, and Shankar Mahadevan. Cheers.

Dude, he won two academy awards (oscars) too but you missed to mention those.

I like you to listen to the swiss singer Nemo. He just won the Euro Song Competition with his grate song "The Code". I am wondering what you would say....

You should listen to Dil se re title track that's a masterpiece composition

ARR the god of music

This song in Tamil Version is Superb................ARR belongs to Tamil Nadu

Secret Chiefs 3 is a natural recommendation here.
