Genius of Aruna Sairam | Kalinga Nartana Tillana | Krishna's Serpent Dance | REACTION!!! 

What other videos should we react to??

A few years back, I went for a friend's wedding in Bangalore. When the ceremony started, there was Carnatic music playing. It was such a mistake. All of us were fixated on the musicians and had completely forgotten about the bride and the groom. It was transcendental! ❤️

I feel Rukmini Vijayakumar's dance on Kalinga Nartan Thillana is too good, though the singer is someone else in that performance.

She is a legendary singer in indian classical music and the singing is not memorizing, it's all about the story of lord Krishna and the way of expressing it innovatively...

Was it just me who felt deeply unsatisfied because there was a lag between video and audio of the thillana!

This is a segment of the same musical piece you listened to from Kuldeep M Pai. Half of this piece are vocal representations of rhythmic syllables and half are lyrics in sanskrit, they intertwine with each other. You can see that the rhythmic syllables Aruna Ma'am sings is parallel to what was played on the mridangam, almost as if she commanded or directed the rhythm. This is a dance piece, the rhythmic syllables are commonly used to direct Bharathanatyam dancers, and the song itself describes Lord Krishna's dance upon the Snake Kalinga. The raga or scale used in this piece is Ghambeera Nattai, a very sweet raga, child of the parent raga Chalanata. "Ghambeera" means boldness or grandness and thus the raga conveys grand feelings. This is a Carnatic piece. The instruments played were the Mridangam, Veena, Violin, Ghatam and the Tambura Notes on the discussion: she only used one raga in this piece, the transitioning took place between the 'melody and lyrics' and the 'Rhythmic syllables'. Indian music, Carnatic in this case is composed in many languages including Tamil, Telugu, Sanskrit and Kannada. In fact Telugu is favored by many of the great composers of Carnatic music. This piece was written by oothukadu venkata subbaiyer a composer who lived in Tamil Nadu and spoke the Tamil language. The performance and the way the vocalist was having fun is _for_ the audience, it's not because she thinks she is good, as she has said many times, it's because she wants the audience to have in on the music. Also, this is a dance piece, the rhythmic syllables are used to direct Bharathanatyam dancers, so it's naturally jumpy.

Guys... It's high time you get introduced ti the legends of Carnatic music Bharata ratna MS and DK Pattammal.

You must read Krishna’s story of dueling Kalinga the Serpent. The transitions are the dance between Krishna and Kalinga - apparent adversaries, and yet Krishna the all pervasive Vishnu Avataar and Kalinga the enamored devotee who is playing his part in the cosmic dance of Krishna! Aruna Sairam is brilliant at painting a picture with her music!

Tillana is a tongue twister and it requires enormous practice especially syncing of words with music with sudden variations

Krishna danced over the large serpent ..he didn't do snake dance 😂

The myth behind the poem: When Lord Krishna was a child he was a cowherd in the forest of Brindavan that rose along the banks of the river Yamuna. All animals near a part of the river were dying mysteriously and Krishna went to investigate. There Kalinga (Kaliya) the 9-headed snake had made it's home and it's poison was killing all the animals. Krishna asked the snake to leave, but it refused. So Krishna began to "fight" the snake by dancing on it's heads dodging the snake's attempts to bite him. When the snake finally grew tired and understood that it couldn't win, it pleaded to Krishna that it couldn't leave the river because the eagle Garuda, also the vehicle of Lord Vishnu, would hunt and kill it. Krishna told the snake that Garuda would not hunt and kill Kalinga because he would identify Krishna's footprints on the snake's heads and understand that Kalinga is a devotee of Krishna. The poet, Oothukkadu Venkata Subba Iyer, draws inspiration from this divine dance to write the poem in the form of a thillana. A thillana is composed with rhythmic syllables in the pallavi and anupallavi (chorus) and lyrics in the charanam (verse). Here the rhythmic portions correspond to the dancing, and the lyrics describe how the poet feels as he sees the divine dance unfold. This rendtion is only the last couple of lines in the full poem. You have reacted to the full rendition by Kuldeep M Pai along with his proteges, Sooryagaayathri and Rahul Vellal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x3kU9en_G3Y.html&ab_channel=OURSTUPIDREACTIONS You have already reacted, as Korbin noted, to an Aalap in the Raag Shanmukhapriya by Aruna Sairam. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BpDB64Cpj8A.html&ab_channel=OURSTUPIDREACTIONS You missed identifying Jayanthi Kumaresh on the Veena. You have reacted to her Jugalbandhi with Zakir Hussain: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mHklSGOvWuE.html&ab_channel=OURSTUPIDREACTIONS

The legend of Carnatic music - Ms Subbalakshmi , Do it.

Even the veena player Jayanthi Kumaresh is another legend. Please react to some of her as well

Classical Music is way greater than we think it is. You will definitely get wondered how it is. React to some of the performances by MS Subhalakshmi, Balamuralikrishna, TM Krishna, Mysore Brothers etc

I think Lord Krishna was dancing for her as she was singing. They know the raga and tala so well that they will improvise as they sing. Next year if the Tyagaraja festival is held in Cincinnati, please come. It is a week-long festival to celebrate Tyagaraja’s birthday.

the transitions from one beat to another are always so beautiful in our traditional indian music ❤☄ isn't it ??

Now you have to react to Rukmini Vijayakumar's dance choreography of the same.

I want to recommend this song and it just happened 🙂. Excellent rendering and most synchronised performance. Most happy to listen all the time, dedicating to Lord Krishna 🙏.

Also Serp is a sanskrit word means 🐍 Serpentine one of the word derived from sanskrit.

You have reacted to the same piece performed by Sri Kuldeep. M. Pai. You can see the difference between the two performances. The genius of her bringing in so many variations is breathtaking and mind boggling.

FYI, Ex chief executive officer of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi, is Aruna Sairam's niece

She have done the same "Tillana" in another recent show.. Which you'll mesmerise!! That show is called, UTSAV - Soumik Datta - Aruna Sairam - Tillana! Please do watch!!

You should definitely try Shubhalaxmi next. You'll surely be mesmerized

You have reacted to this devotional song sung by Sooryagayathri, Rahul Vellal nd Kuldeep Pai .You were very impressed with them as well . Power of Carnatic music .Veena is by Jayanthi Kumaresh .She performed with Ustad Ji ❤️

In particular to your reaction w.r.t sanskrit I think you are finally getting it, the sounds are a form of energy and they are treated that way. And for a long time passed on to the next generations only by recital in Indian tradition, writing came much later.

You have heard this song sung by Suryagayathri, that brilliant little girl.

The way they froze at the end... Goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️

Never clicked a video sooo fast!

I have already mentioned that it was because of OSR that I was reintroduced to the Indian classical music scene. But it was this performance that cemented it as one of my new forms of entertainment. I must have listened to this and Kaushiki Chakraborthy's performance of Bhimpalasi at least 10 times each on that day alone. Because I have seen this video so many times, I can identify it just by the thumbnail. I have turned off my search and view histories so that I don't get any suggestions and watch anything only as I choose to. So I was confused when I saw Aruna Sairam's face in the suggestions. And then it dawned on me -- this wasn't just a suggestion, OSR was reacting to the performance. Oh! How I have waited for this day since August of 2019. I have always wanted you to listen to this, but I never suggested it. Mainly because at that time I wasn't someone who would interact with people on the internet. This is something that OSR has changed for me indirectly, but that's another story. And also because if you started reacting to things I would demand, then the rest of the family would miss out on you reacting to movie trailers and other things, which I don't know/care about -- and that's not fair.

Most amazing singer

Finally.. Have been asking for it since you reacted to Kaushiki Chakraborty... Took you long enough..

One of the greatest performances by anyone ever.

It's actually a "thillaana", which is not the usual Carnatic music compositions you listened to before..

You guys can attend "Doverlane music fest" in Kolkata, generally happens in Winter (January and February). All your favourite musicians perform there.

Indian classical music is way deeper than western people can imagine. Love you both sir :)

I am and indian mauritian . I m proud to see your show which is amazing I appreciate your show with a dlscovered Thank you very much

in hindi darbar means the king's main assembly hall. and during the time ancient musicians and dancers always performed in the darbars in the palaces.just like mastani [deepika] performed for bajirao[ranveer] in bajirao mastani.

I had requested this long back but not darbar one i liked when she sung it in UTSAV you should watch that amazing...

Also react to Panchratna Kritis at Tyagaraja festival...all the maestros congregate and sing in unison....it is amazing.

Just sitting in one place and dancing, gliding, pausing, twirling in the mind and soul.

Hey guys, this was the same poem which you saw earlier the two kids and their teacher rendering. Remember Rahul and Sooryagayathri and their teacher

Playfulness, it seems to me, is the essence of this composition.

Imagine Krishna dancing on the head of kaalinga- a serpent with 9 heads. He's dancing to defeat kaalinga dodging it's attack - that's were d thillaana notes come up and down ...

Legend. Aruna ji

Same kaalinga nardhanam song sung by young boy and young girl with Guruji Kuldeep M. Pai of Vandey Guru Parambaram.THILLANA Raga

React to Yesudas singing Carnatic classical

Haha the last line is just amazing. It's tihai and it is only the appreciation of body heart mind and dance of the god.

React to Carnatic Music | Jayanthi Kumaresh | Raga Kapi - Thillana (Pt. 2) | Music of India

The master at work🙏🙏🙏

And man aren't you something here! This girl, an out and out westerner, Emmanuelle Martin, a virtuoso Carnatic singer; you will be mesmerized her voice; such power; man, don't this miss this for anything.

Great observation on Raag transitions Korbin! And one added layer you’re missing is the lyrics, the playfulness of young Krishna mingled with his realization of triumph over the water-snake king is perfectly captured in her voiceplay!

Indian languages are rooted in Sanskrit AND Tamil. Just correcting your statement, when you just said Sanskrit. The Dravidian language family is rooted in Old Tamil and the Indo-Aryan language family is rooted in Sanskrit. And Carnatic music is a mix of Dravidian and Indo-Aryan cultures. A lot of songs are in the languages based on both Sanskrit and Old Tamil, like Telugu, Kannada, modern Tamil.

dacă înțelegi cu sufletul nu numai că e ușor e și ceva natural asta înseamnă rag e mai mult decât o simpă melodie o voce ,e mult mai mult trece de orice limită și nu sunt bariere e pur RESPECT legătura cu natura cu pământul cu cerul și da nu e simplu ci doar pare așa datorită măiestriei muzicienilor 🙏💕♥️

It's a power of indian classical music.....!!!!!

Was waiting for this song reaction by Aruna Sairam since months. Thanks

A vocal theatre🎭❤️

Classical singers are the backbone of Indian music

Genius Rick

6:20 Exactly Korbin.^^ Had the same expression, when I heard her the first time.

Aruna Sairam became popular after singing this Thillana and almost after she was 40plus of age. Even though she learnt from great Brinda Amma, she never got the break she reserved. But this one song changed all

Your appreciation now seems more in sync with our understanding of classical music. 🙏

This is storytelling via music.

React to Carnatic musician m s subbalakshmi

Context and meaning make this song even more.awesome

If you close the eyes and listen then you should feel the dance of lord Krishna on the head of giant black snake called kaliya.🙏🙏

There's mice on the moons of Uranus. I want to see Uranus too, Lavender. We saw Uranus up close Harry.

Tamilians will be always on top when it comes to carnatic music 🙌🏻

Please react to Bharat ratna MS subbulakshmi ❤

Pls react s janaki amma songs Nightingale of South India, shivashiva ennake song

I think this was very unique since its set on a taal or singing the beats and matching the scale to other instruments 😊🙏

I am proud that I learnt kalinga narthana from her video❤

Imagine...visualize Lord Krishna dancing on Kaliya's hoods!

I actually cringed when I saw how the both of you stepped innocently into this master class, with no idea of the lady was about to start freaking out. Hope you get back to normal soon. What she does is surreal.

Guys, you must react to darbarfestival - "genius of begam parveen sultana | raag puriya dhanashree". I am damn sure that it will blow you mind away ..

December music season/Margazhi Utsavam... in chennai...u can catch month long performances of classical dance and Carnatic music.

Plzz react on the the disco song of ALIA BHATT😄❤❤❤❤

Actually there are two Uranus jokes in the HP books. Book 4 Chapter 13 Mad-Eye Moody "Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" said Ron. Book 5 Chapter 35 Beyond the Veil "Harry, we saw Uranus up close!" said Ron, still giggling feebly. "Get it, Harry? We saw Uranus - ha ha ha -"

This is breathless *10

You had reacted to Suryagayathri and Rahul Vellal singing the same which was just amazing ten months back.

Splendid.

U can view Minsare Kanna song from Padyappa

This is south indian classic music

If I were the sorting hat, I would put Rick in Ravenclaw and Korbin in Slytherin but then you have a choice!

Wawwww 👏👏👏

What you heard was a thillana. it is different from a song. It involves bols (beats) in it in a ragam.

When it comes to Thillanas you have yet to deep dive in to Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna (MBK).

Dude.... Listen to subha mudgal..... She is like one of the excellent

Indian instruments speaks, as vocalist sings.

Is the audio out of sync.

It's a rythmic maths. Assending and Dessending order of letters.

Try to react jyothsna shrikanth's violin ( raga amristvasrshini) performance from darbar . She is fabulous .

Please react to DARBAR video of PARVEEN SULTANA. I am requesting it for so long time.

I am desperately waiting for a different intro video of OSR because I don't want to skip it every time☹

Obviously She sung very well...but I like the sound of veena in this...she played Veena excellently...

Sounds like a rap. Awesome

Imma Slytherin ❤️

Rick, don't let Korbin fool you,your joke was as good as Uranus.😂

Karnataka classical music 😍😍😍😍

This is Carnatic Classical. Sung in the Southern part of India.

Please without fail watch genious of "Begun Parveen Sultana," Darbar concert On rag Puriya dhanshri One must watch
