Yesudas is having the most number of national awards for best singer in India..He is often treated like a god due to his ability to hit every note with exact required expression and meaning along with his magical voice..
Both "J" and "Y" can be used alternatively in his name. Basically 'Jesu' or 'Yesu' (as in Jesus) + 'das' (meaning servant or devotee). Jesudas is a Christian by birth but a towering exponent of Carnatic classical music, which is mainly Hindu devotional music. During his heydays, Jesudas faced a lot of criticism and bigotry from both Hindu and Christian groups. He endured it and never said a word. Instead, he let the divinity of his voice do the talking back. Also his cross over from Carnatic classical music to film music (what we call 'light music') was sniggered upon in those days. Again, Jesudas remained his gracious self and never responded. The audiences responded instead with their feet and wallets. What a Legend!
1. "das" has NO EQUIVALENT in english. Its a Sanskrit Non translatable. "Das / Dasa" means somone who has WILLINGLY submitted himself to god. 2. The NAME "Yesudas" means someone who has willingly submitted himself to "Yesu" a.k.a JESUS. 3. Ironically "Yesudas" is NOT a practicing xtian. He is a practicing HINDU. He has given WRITTEN declaration to the temple that is he is a Hindu by choice and practice and Belief. 4. No Hindu group EVER objected or criticized him except when he entered a temple FORBIDDEN for NON HINDUS. He ended that debate by declaring himself a Hindu.
@@zaxcollix123 Oh i didnt know he wasnt a Christian.. but even if he was, he has always been respectful to Hindus and their culture unlike other Christians who just want to get rid of all Hinduism in India, one conversion at a time
@@nomad4273 pretty correct. Most Malayalis don't know the arrogance he has. Music is of course great. No doubt. But Malayalis only know his name when it comes to Carnatic music. But there are a lot other musicians who are Evan better than him. Just because they are professional Carnatic singers and not playback singers, people won't recognise them.
@@nomad4273 Yesudas has the best voice I've ever heard. Greatest singer in my opinion. My favourite singer. But I agree, he is not down to earth, I've seen many instances to know that. But his talent is beyond question.
Dear friends how can we measure the depth of this man's knowledge in music. He has given the whole of his life to music. He is such a legend that incarnates once in a century and our Pride.
Is it weird to say that I was in the audience when this was recorded in the 90s (I was a kid) in Trivandrum, Kerala at the Tagore Theatre and here I'm watching it the second time!! Didn't even know it was on TH-cam.
His nickname "ganagandharvan" means a celestial singer in the palace of Gods. Many legends look upto him and he has sung in malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi as well. Rick is really enjoying himself ❤️
For me his voice is like conch shell, I will just be transported to the blissful world of God, whenever he sings traditional or devotional songs like this and "harivarasanam" I feel like I am being in the lap of God with his hands around me, hugging me close.
The greatest voice this country has ever produced, Period👑. God gave many of his stardust to many humans but he gave his throat to Yesudas, the only way to explain his near flawless voice. Gandharvaaa, namichu🙏
There was an actual recording of this Composition sung by Yesudas which was over 1 hour in duration. It was just pure perfection. It was what made the common people of Kerala to love and cherish Carnatic Classical music at that time. 🙏
Undoubtedly, he is the best singer in India who has sung over 30,000 plus songs. He is just superb.!! Thanks to God for gifting us such a fantabulous voice.
He is the only singer in India who can conduct a pure classic music concert like this and record a super hit film song next day and bag national award for best playback singer. Remember your reaction video where he is singing with Shreya Ghoshal. That original song was sung by Yesudas for film Sadma.
He is a christian. His name means servant of Jesus. But his dedication and devotion and bhakti is so honest, that to most hindu malayalees it does not matter which religion he belongs to. He has many a times expressed his devotion towards Guruvayoorappan and Ayyapan. A lot of people from both the religious groups had once criticized him, but the blessing of his guru and his own devotion won everyone over.
It is one of those beautiful krithi (song composed in carnatic music) on Lord Ganesha composed by one of the trinities of Carnatic Music Muthuswami Dikshitar in the 18th century. It is based in the Raaga Hamsadhwani (infact the lyrics has the mention of the Raaga name). Towards the end when he was singing swaras (notes like sa re ga ma) that is part of what is called manodharmam ( creativity / innovation that comes to your mind on that day or moment), this particular singing of swaras is called kalpana swaram (meaning imagined notes which is not composed by the composer but still following the rules of the Raaga the song is composed) , it is usually done in various meters and speeds as you rightly observed. Dasettan (K J Yesudas is fondly called that by his fans) is the sishya (disciple) of Chembai Vaidya natha Bhagavathar one of the legends of carnatic music. Those days carnatic music used to be sung in temples especially at Guruvayur temple. Since yesudas was born in a christian family, he was not allowed inside the premises. His guru Chembai moved the concert outside of the temple partly to sing along with his disciple and also to accomodate the crowds that used to come for KJY as he was a renowned playback singer as well. Dasettan commissioned a docu on his Guru... It is about Carnatic music in general and his guru Chembai in particular. I will post link to that here.... Please check it out Also i am very glad that you are one of those few channels which give importance to indian classical music as well... Please do keep it up.
One of the best videos in your channel. You get me every time you post indian classical musical video from finest artists. His voice elicits divine feeling. Pure bliss.
That's Kerala's pride, best of the best at his best. The man who made all Keralites his fans. The man responsible for making 90s and 80s kids compare any singer with him and say the new guy is not that good...❤️❤️❤️
The beauty of Dasettan's singing is you admire at it from afar in awe... You don't even attempt to do what he does.... The beauty about SPB 's singing is, he makes it look so easy that you also try to imitate him with some limited success... Both are legends in their own right.
@@zeenathbommareddy8249 true, but for people like me, who grew up listening to his songs, you have to understand HE was the only singer I knew in my childhood, he is our pride, our family member through the music cassettes. Yes he is India's pride, but we mallus tend to take some extra pride when it's him❤️
This is one of the old records of Shri. Yesudoss ji..... I could see you have reacted to his recent concert too... he still sings at 80+ age...... truly divine voice......
This Shows India's Culture A Christian Guy with the name of Jesus (Yesudas) is singing a Song of Ganapati which is a Hindu God . His Song 'Harivarasanam' is the last song to play before the 'Sabarimala' temple closes everyday. My India ❤️❤️❤️
I suggested this over a year ago and you got to it today. Now this legend has a son named Vijay Yesudas and he too has sung this very same song in a live concert. Nothing can hear his dad’s version but he too is phenomenal. Go check out if you want. See you a year later maybe 🤣
Always enchanting, mesmerizing and emotional listening to Dasettan (Yesudas Sir) bringing to life this masterpiece along with the fabulous accompanying artistes. Such an awesome musical treat and Rick, your analogy was beautiful and on point🙏😃😍❤️🌹Thank you so much to you both for reacting so ardently and wonderfully to this beautiful composition.
In India these concerts are also done for free in many temple grounds. Almost every locality has local centers where performers perform for free throughout year.
Rick and Korbin, Yesu, or Jesu ("Yay, Sue!" or "Jay-soo") mean Jesus. Das means servant, devotee, follower. Add them together, and you get a last name that declares, unashamedly and fearlessly, that you are a family of Christian converts. Kattassery Joseph Yesudas will, on the 10th of January, celebrate his 81st Birthday. In his 60 year career he is said to have recorded some 80,000 songs. It is easier to list the languages he hasn't sung in. The man has even sung in Russian, for god's sake. Arabic. English. Latin!! The same with awards. You should read his Wiki page.

You should do a video of "Thaalam" or "Tal" like you did for ragas and ghamakas.. You will understand what he was doing with the hands.. There are different rhythms for each song, where the counts on the fingers are different, and they have different names for it.. For example, this one was in 'Adi Thaalam' where you have 8 counts, starting with the whole palm (1), starting with pinky finger (2), go left with two fingers (3 and 4), whole palm (5), flip your palm back and forth (6, 7 and 8) 🙂🙂🙂
How he finishes... aararo.... aararo...in song - zindgi mahak jati hai......This is his specialty....which will be very difficult to imitate by any singer. His simply humming....is so sweet for lullaby. हूँ हूँ हूँ... हूँहूँहूँ...कितना मीठा लगता है। हर गाना एक विशेष शहद में लिपटा हुआ लगता है। प्रकृति के कण कण में संगीत येसुदास जी का एक ऐसा गाना है जिसे सुनकर कोई सच्चा संगीत प्रेमी प्रकृति में ही खो जाएगा। मेरी नज़र में ये गाना किसी भी गायक के लिए गा पाना एक सपने के बराबर होगा। ....ओह..... वह अप्रतिम मधुरता...जो मैंने अब तक किसी कंठ से नहीं सुनी। साक्षात सरस्वती विराजमान हैं उनके कंठ में तभी तो वो हमेशा श्वेत वस्त्र धारण करते हैं। संगीत सीखने वालों को सबसे पहले येसुदास को सुनना चाहिए, और अगर वो उनके गाये गानों की शास्त्रीय बारीकियां 25 प्रतिशत भी समझ गए तो भी वे दूसरे अन्य के मुकाबले कहीं अधिक ऊँचाई प्राप्त कर सकेंगे। ये मेरा येसुदास को 35 सालों से सुनने के बाद का निष्कर्ष है। सबसे ज्यादा बार राष्ट्रीय पुरुस्कार किसी को ऐसे ही नहीं मिल जाता। ये रिकॉर्ड उनके नाम पर ही है। पिछली बार ये पुरुस्कार उन्हें 78 साल की उम्र में 2018 में मिला था। जबकि पहला 1967 में! है ना कमाल।😀 He is king of singing...👑 🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏
Classic singer a Christian by birth but a secular person respected by everyone across the Globe..... Yesudas means Yesu - Jesus and Das -Servant.. Servant to Jesus....Mesmerising sound and depth. Praise the Lord
He is a gem of Indian classical. This is carnatic concert which all carnatic and classical artists does in India, especially this happens in Chennai as a carnatic festival every December called as Margazhi Utsav. Generally these concerts continues for 2 to 3 hrs of a single person . Which means this was a part of a session of 3 hrs may be. I have been to this concerts in live and been immersed for 2 to 3 hrs at a stretch non stop immersion.
One of the BEST. You have struck gold! Keep it up. Yes, Rick, we can see you are an exceptionally bright listener detecting the differences in the accompanist playing the violin.
I remember suggesting this video to react many months ago. Thank you for picking this. Evidently many other Dasettan fans have also requested this! Awesome!!
Interestingly this whole composition uses just 5 major notes. Asending notes: Sa, Re, Ga, Pa, Ni, Sa and Descending notes: Sa, Ni, Pa, Ga, Re, Sa. This rag is called Rag Hamsadhwani. Composed by Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar.
Who ever suggested this song thanks a lot. Thanks for reacting to it bros. I have simple suggestion for you guys. You have to explore him a lot he is the top list singer. He did thousands of songs. You will not disappointed I am sure of that. By the way he is living in america and in india (kerala, chennai ) also.
@OSR team, congratulations for this intoxicating Carnatic song by Sri Yesudas. Do react to greats like smt m.s. subbalakshmi, Dr. M.balamuralikrishna and many... it's an ocean...this is just intro.... Regards, Ravindra Kumar hg
Most probably no one will see my comment but I enjoy these classical stuff along with u guys.. none of my friends really care about these classy stuff.. anyone see this comment please reply so that I could have someone to share our musical heritage.
Really nice to see you guys appreciate one of the giants of carnatic music!! I'm surprised how much of the rhythm aspect you lot seem to understand as clearly depicted by your movements. With even more listening you will pick up and understand even more. Another current artist who I think you lot will like is abhishek raghuram. Please keep up the videos! Take care
Hey guys.... Pls do react "entharo mahanu bhavu" Song from malayalam film "Devadoothan (messenger of God)... It's a fusion song... ie, an old carnatic classical song in a western background way... You guys will definitely like this song...
Dearest Korbin and Rick, you do not know me, but I couldn't have gotten through lockdown without the two of you. A very happy 2021 to you and yours. Yesudas is the reason I love music and this video and your enjoyment of it brought both a smile and a tear.
Usually, a Carnatic Classical Music Song(Keethanam) has 3 stanzas. Usually with Two or 4 lines each. Pallavi, Anupallavi, Charanam. (I don't know whether this is the same in Hindustani). *Pallavi* - This is the start of the song. Pallavi is sung within the structure and rules of the Ragam (here *Hamsadwani* ) used and is improvised and sung alteast 3 different ways, usually with increasing complexity. Here the pallavi is _Vatapi_ _Ganapatim_ _Bhaje_ (3), _Varanasyam_ _varapradam_ _sri_ . *Anupallavi* - Generally, there is only one Anupallavi. This may go to a higher octave than pallavi and may have different tempo and adds beauty to the song. *Charanam* - This is the last set and the improv done for pallavi is repeated here, so you have to remember what you did before. There can be more than one charanam for a song. Pallavi is sung after every charanam. Between the Charanam, you usually do a lot of Improv, here it was between the Vocal and Violin in this case. You improv for one measure( 8 beat cycle here, adi talam) and the 2nd person repeated it.
I don't know who you gentlemen are but I stumbled upon a video of yours some time ago and since then I have seen several.of these reactions of yours to Indian music. Well, I am overwhelmed at your deep interest for Indian music to say the least, and the range that you cover starting from classical to Bollywood/popular. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And by the way, Yesudas is a more accomplished playback singer than a classical vocalist, although as he has aged, he is more into classical concerts. You need to listen to Hari Muraleeravam song form Aaram Thamburan(Malayalam film) or Rama japa from Bharatham( Malayalam film) or even the song Pinneyum Pinneyum (from the Mal film Krishngudiyil Oru Pranaya Kaalathu)...a very versatile singer.
Really Let me ask you something.Why would someone start a you tube channel ? Most probably for income.See following Jaby Lots of foreigners started reacting to our content . As they are foreigners we go through their videos .See they just over react to every video... I am from Kerala and in some videos of Kerala they just show keen interest on Fahadh Fassil and Mohanlal..They are actors from Kerala. How can one be a fan of somebody new to them .Just think.Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr.have lots of fans in India right??..See The best example is of SRK .THEY Jump and shake their whole body like cheering for a team in a football match..They know that SRK is a t lented and one of the most loved actors in India..So they make us believe that they love SRK whom millions of Indians are fans of. At the beginning even I got excited on seeing these guys. They are Americans .Americans unlike other groups of people have a superiority complex ... We dont know what their actual mindsets about Indians are . I was sad to see many Indians group up with these foreigners to insult and mock them .This happened in one of their videos in which they reacted to MEAN COMMENTS as they titled it. So I request you to pls dont believe these foreign weirdos....
Since 38yrs i am listening Gana Gandharva Yesudas voice I always pray god to take make my life to add life to Yesudas to entertain music lovers. God bless all
Yesudas the Gandharva in Human form with nector flowing in notes he touches with his voice.. this is one of his gems.. but sad nobody appreciated the violinist.. he was amazing

@@vidyathottappillil8367 Yes 😊👍
Yes someone please recommend them a proper suladisaptathalam lecture.
How he finishes... aararo.... aararo...in song - zindgi mahak jati hai......This is his specialty....which will be very difficult to imitate by any singer.
His simply humming....is so sweet for lullaby.
हूँ हूँ हूँ... हूँहूँहूँ...कितना मीठा लगता है।
हर गाना एक विशेष शहद में लिपटा हुआ लगता है।
प्रकृति के कण कण में संगीत येसुदास जी का एक ऐसा गाना है जिसे सुनकर कोई सच्चा संगीत प्रेमी प्रकृति में ही खो जाएगा। मेरी नज़र में ये गाना किसी भी गायक के लिए गा पाना एक सपने के बराबर होगा।
....ओह..... वह अप्रतिम मधुरता...जो मैंने अब तक किसी कंठ से नहीं सुनी।
साक्षात सरस्वती विराजमान हैं उनके कंठ में तभी तो वो हमेशा श्वेत वस्त्र धारण करते हैं।
संगीत सीखने वालों को सबसे पहले येसुदास को सुनना चाहिए, और अगर वो उनके गाये गानों की शास्त्रीय बारीकियां 25 प्रतिशत भी समझ गए तो भी वे दूसरे अन्य के मुकाबले कहीं अधिक ऊँचाई प्राप्त कर सकेंगे।
ये मेरा येसुदास को 35 सालों से सुनने के बाद का निष्कर्ष है।
सबसे ज्यादा बार राष्ट्रीय पुरुस्कार किसी को ऐसे ही नहीं मिल जाता। ये रिकॉर्ड उनके नाम पर ही है।
पिछली बार ये पुरुस्कार उन्हें 78 साल की उम्र में 2018 में मिला था। जबकि पहला 1967 में!
है ना कमाल।😀
He is king of singing...👑
🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷🙏
The gentleman in orange shirt got the dance connection right. Hanswadhani is indeed popularly used in classical dance form.
Can't believe you did this!!! Now you understand what is classical singing is all about....
Classic singer a Christian by birth but a secular person respected by everyone across the Globe..... Yesudas means Yesu - Jesus and Das -Servant.. Servant to Jesus....Mesmerising sound and depth.
Praise the Lord
Best singer in india. Around 30,000 songs recorded
70000+
Over 100000
He is a gem of Indian classical. This is carnatic concert which all carnatic and classical artists does in India, especially this happens in Chennai as a carnatic festival every December called as Margazhi Utsav. Generally these concerts continues for 2 to 3 hrs of a single person . Which means this was a part of a session of 3 hrs may be. I have been to this concerts in live and been immersed for 2 to 3 hrs at a stretch non stop immersion.
can't get enough of this song , it always feels to keep listening to this song .
ശുദ്ധ സംഗീതത്തിന് മുന്നിൽ നാടോ , ഭാഷയോ , വ്യക്തിയോ ഒന്നുമില്ല... ആസ്വാദനം മാത്രം....... ഈ സുന്ദര നിമിഷങ്ങൾ ഒരുക്കിയ ആരായാലും മനസുതുറന്ന് അഭിനന്ദിക്കുന്നു.. ഒപ്പം അഭിമാനവും 👍👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️
One of the BEST. You have struck gold! Keep it up. Yes, Rick, we can see you are an exceptionally bright listener detecting the differences in the accompanist playing the violin.
Dassetttaaa....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember suggesting this video to react many months ago. Thank you for picking this. Evidently many other Dasettan fans have also requested this! Awesome!!
Interestingly this whole composition uses just 5 major notes. Asending notes: Sa, Re, Ga, Pa, Ni, Sa and Descending notes: Sa, Ni, Pa, Ga, Re, Sa. This rag is called Rag Hamsadhwani. Composed by Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar.
Our Dasettan 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Who ever suggested this song thanks a lot. Thanks for reacting to it bros. I have simple suggestion for you guys. You have to explore him a lot he is the top list singer. He did thousands of songs. You will not disappointed I am sure of that. By the way he is living in america and in india (kerala, chennai ) also.
Jesudas even though Christian by birth he has conducted himself beyond all religions all his life. He can make us see God through his music.
Finally I requested this long back in the previous yesudas videos..and it's here
Humble pranams to Sri Yesudasji
Dr.K.J.Yesudas is undebatably a divine musician.
@OSR team, congratulations for this intoxicating Carnatic song by Sri Yesudas.
Do react to greats like smt m.s. subbalakshmi, Dr. M.balamuralikrishna and many... it's an ocean...this is just intro....
Regards,
Ravindra Kumar hg
Celestial singer ❣️
Most probably no one will see my comment but I enjoy these classical stuff along with u guys.. none of my friends really care about these classy stuff.. anyone see this comment please reply so that I could have someone to share our musical heritage.
Historic classical singer could make it rain literally with music......
Hari Sri Ganapathaye Namah 🙏🕉️
Wow wow wow.... Dasettan songs🎵 uyir. 💞💝
U both are blessed souls listening to this hymm by legendary singer.
This is Carnatic classical music👍 there are many such geniuses like balamurali Krishna, m.s. Subbulakshmi maharaja Puram santanam etc
Really nice to see you guys appreciate one of the giants of carnatic music!! I'm surprised how much of the rhythm aspect you lot seem to understand as clearly depicted by your movements. With even more listening you will pick up and understand even more. Another current artist who I think you lot will like is abhishek raghuram. Please keep up the videos! Take care
Hey guys.... Pls do react "entharo mahanu bhavu" Song from malayalam film "Devadoothan (messenger of God)... It's a fusion song... ie, an old carnatic classical song in a western background way... You guys will definitely like this song...
Here is the link for this song.... th-cam.com/video/Vp2TclEYajw/w-d-xo.html
It's a symphony.
Wow what a choice. I think I have also suggested that gem song to these guys.
It would be great if they react to Dr. Balamurali sir's concert
He is not a doctor. It's an honour that Indian government has given. It's called doctorate. It's given out of respect
Dearest Korbin and Rick, you do not know me, but I couldn't have gotten through lockdown without the two of you. A very happy 2021 to you and yours. Yesudas is the reason I love music and this video and your enjoyment of it brought both a smile and a tear.
Dasettan ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
Usually, a Carnatic Classical Music Song(Keethanam) has 3 stanzas. Usually with Two or 4 lines each. Pallavi, Anupallavi, Charanam. (I don't know whether this is the same in Hindustani).
*Pallavi* - This is the start of the song. Pallavi is sung within the structure and rules of the Ragam (here *Hamsadwani* ) used and is improvised and sung alteast 3 different ways, usually with increasing complexity.
Here the pallavi is _Vatapi_ _Ganapatim_ _Bhaje_ (3), _Varanasyam_ _varapradam_ _sri_ .
*Anupallavi* - Generally, there is only one Anupallavi. This may go to a higher octave than pallavi and may have different tempo and adds beauty to the song.
*Charanam* - This is the last set and the improv done for pallavi is repeated here, so you have to remember what you did before. There can be more than one charanam for a song. Pallavi is sung after every charanam.
Between the Charanam, you usually do a lot of Improv, here it was between the Vocal and Violin in this case. You improv for one measure( 8 beat cycle here, adi talam) and the 2nd person repeated it.
Thank you for this information 🙏
Very nicely explained 🙏
Love you for this reaction. Feels so calm inside after listening to yesudas 🙏
Yesudas is a man with a golden voice in singing and called Gaanagandharavan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy New Year 2021 and Best wishes for this year. Fantastic video to start this year.
This is the beginning of carnatic music.
I don't know who you gentlemen are but I stumbled upon a video of yours some time ago and since then I have seen several.of these reactions of yours to Indian music. Well, I am overwhelmed at your deep interest for Indian music to say the least, and the range that you cover starting from classical to Bollywood/popular. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And by the way, Yesudas is a more accomplished playback singer than a classical vocalist, although as he has aged, he is more into classical concerts. You need to listen to Hari Muraleeravam song form Aaram Thamburan(Malayalam film) or Rama japa from Bharatham( Malayalam film) or even the song Pinneyum Pinneyum (from the Mal film Krishngudiyil Oru Pranaya Kaalathu)...a very versatile singer.
Really Let me ask you something.Why would someone start a you tube channel ? Most probably for income.See following Jaby Lots of foreigners started reacting to our content .
As they are foreigners we go through their videos .See they just over react to every video...
I am from Kerala and in some videos of Kerala they just show keen interest on Fahadh Fassil and Mohanlal..They are actors from Kerala.
How can one be a fan of somebody new to them .Just think.Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr.have lots of fans in India right??..See The best example is of SRK .THEY Jump and shake their whole body like cheering for a team in a football match..They know that SRK is a t
lented and one of the most loved actors in India..So they make us believe that they love SRK whom millions of Indians are fans of.
At the beginning even I got excited on seeing these guys.
They are Americans .Americans unlike other groups of people have a superiority complex ...
We dont know what their actual mindsets about Indians are .
I was sad to see many Indians group up with these foreigners to insult and mock them .This happened in one of their videos in which they reacted to MEAN COMMENTS as they titled it.
So I request you to pls dont believe these foreign weirdos....
@@bovaz2287 It's your personal and I respect that. No one can't force someone to watch something.
He is an outstanding singer of india, Dr. K. J. Yesudas. One of the unparalleled singer in indian music.
Proud Malayali ❤️
Since 38yrs i am listening Gana Gandharva Yesudas voice
I always pray god to take make my life to add life to Yesudas to entertain music lovers.
God bless all
Yesudas the Gandharva in Human form with nector flowing in notes he touches with his voice.. this is one of his gems.. but sad nobody appreciated the violinist.. he was amazing
You guys are awesome...to be able to pick up this great rendition and analysing it..
Lots of thanks sir.watching bhakthi gods song.indian God ganapathi.
That beatbox (if that's indeed called that) at 3:21 was perfect and added such a pleasant twist!!!
Dr: K. J.Y is the dearest disciple of Chempai Vaidya Nadha Bhagvadhar. He has his blessings.
Mesmerized by the master's performance
