Hindustani vs Carnatic Singing - 4 differences | हिंदुस्तानी और कर्नाटक गायन में 4 अंतर 

1. Carnatic: Southern and Original 2. Hindustani: Northern and Mixed Language and Location makes are Difference as North India Merged with Foreign having Persian influence. I Listen to Classical Spiritual Sanskritic Natural Music.

Hello. I am a singer and I have learned both Carnatic classical vocal and Hindustani classical vocal. Here are some similarities and differences between both systems. Similarities : Both systems come from the samaveda Both systems encourage improvisation Both systems have a Tala structure and a raga structure Differences: Hindustani music is more prevalent in North India and it stretches out to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Hindustani compositions are more raga based. Hindustani compositions are shorter than carnatic compositions. Languages sung in Hindustani music include: sanskrit, hindi, braj bhasha, Marathi, Gujarathi, Bengali, oriya, Manipur, Punjabi, kashmir, nepali, urdhu etc. Types of compositions that are sung besides pure classical include: bhajans, abhangs, shabads, ghazals, chaithis, kajris, jhoolas, thumris, dadras, rabindra Sangeet, nazrul geethi, (tappas) ( rarely heard these days) etc.. Pure Hindustani classical include: dhrupads, dhammars, thrivats, chathurangs(rarely heard these days)... Taranas are heard in a Hindustani recital. What we commonly hear today in a Hindustani recital is the "khayal gayaki"... Khayal is an Urdhu word for imagination or idea... "Khayal" came after dhrupad. There are two types of Khayal: "bada Khayal" and " chota Khayal." Bada Khayal" is synonymous with what is known as "Vilambit". " Vilambit" means slow tempo. The " bandish" is taken to sing khayal. A "bandish" is a fixed composition to do improvisation upon. A "bandish" literally means to bind something together. A ""bandish" can be in Vilambit laya(slow tempo), madhya laya(medium tempo) or drut tempo(fast tempo). The "bandish" is taken to do various improvisational techniques such as alaap, bolalaap, bolthaan, behelawa, sargams, taan, etc...This is how a musician/singer shows his/her creativity /mastery in singing one raag for at least 40-50 minutes. It takes years and years of hard work and practice to do this. Both Hindu and Muslim artists perform Hindustani music. All Hindustani compositions don't have to be on God, they can be on radha Krishna Leela, Krishna Leela, seetha ram Leela, shiv parvathi ganesh pariwar, durga Mata, etc... they can be on nature, such as spring season, the sounds of the singing cuckoo bird, the rainy season, the monsoon season, etc... they can be about lovers missing each other, mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues, etc.. Carnatic music is more prevalent in South India. It is prevalent in Tamil Nadu, Andhra pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka and Sri. Lanka. Karnatik music used to be performed in temples in the olden days before it came to common settings. Karnatik music is bhakti based. Karnatik compositions are all on God. Karnatik music is composition based. Karnatik compositions are longer than Hindustani compositions. Carnatic music has what is called "kampitha gamakam," where as Hindustani music does not have this. Karnatik music has the concept of "Thani avarthanam" percussion solo whereas Hindustani music does not have this concept. The " krithi"or"keerthana" is what is taken to do improvisations in carnatic music such as raga alapanai, nerval, and kalpana swarams. A student of Karnatik music learns many compositions before learning how to do improvisational techniques, while a Hindustani student will learn how to do simple improvisational techniques immediately after learning the composition. Other types of compositions in Karnatik music include : geethams, jathiswaram swarajathi, varnams, thillanas, jaavaLis etc..

Ma'am Carnatic music has lay in same speed but the number of swaras sung per beat. This is called gathi so there are different speeds in Carnatic as well

Thaala/Taal is very important in Carnatic but it's not impossible to sing without it..Alaapana/Alaap is done without any beat

Your view of Carnatic music is very reductive and this is often a symptom of knowing very little about the subject. Almost everything you said about Carnatic music is either incomplete or plain wrong. Your commentary also comes across as calling Hindustani music better than Carnatic music. Both styles of music go back many many centuries and it is truly unfortunate how you have chosen to present this comparison in your video. Please educate yourself better on the topic.

Wowowwww ! If there is one video that can spurt all the spurious facts about carnatic music, it's this. Lots and lots of misinformation about Carnatic music. Her aakaram rendition in Carnatic is rather mocking than actual representation.

Who told you that we can't sing carnatic music without percussion?

Mam 3type classical music in India odissi classical music originated from odisha

It's karnataka Sangeeta not carnatik. The mispronounced British called it Carnatic, but its real name is KARNATAKA SANGEETHA.

For Carnatic classical songs, beats are not mandatory mam..

Carnataki thhat konse hai mam

3:17 part more sounded like Tibetan than Carnatic.

Please, if possible select same ragaa, i.e. song having same notes , verse and taal, but present it in both hindustani and carnatic style. E.g. same song in raag hamsadwani or bhairavi etc.. Of couse this video was quite informative, well presented and your voice is v good.

प्रणाम मैम 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

And Karnataka is the only state in india where both hindustani and carnatic are practiced

Her voice is so pure nd her explanation is very good

यदि गुणवत्ता की बात करे और कर्नाटक संगीत आकाश है और हिंदुस्तानी संगीत जमीन है , स्वर का प्रभाव कर्नाटक संगीत में अधिक है, जबकि हिंदुस्तानी संगीत एक वर्ण संकर है , जिसका बेस तो शास्त्रीय कर्नाटक संगीत ही है जिसमे अरबी , पारसी , सहित बहुत से संगीत की मिलावट हो गयी है

Way off the mark about Carnatic music. It takes enormous guts to make a fool of yourself on a public platform but for the sake of Truth, please don't do such a shoddy job with little to no information or insights!

Mam please wear a classiical dress , u are sharing indian culture wearing foreign culture🙏🙏🙏
