I can appreciate that the notes may sound off to your western ear, as you put it. They are however precisely where they are meant to be. The “oohs and aahs” in the beginning is the rendition of the raga in which this song has been sung ie Adana raga, with Drupadh style opening (the oohs and aahs) :)
Thats the ultimate human voice ever recorded. Ustad Naseer ud din Sami. Stay Blessed. Thank a ton for reactions.
Happy to do it. Thanks for watching.
So Awesome

I agree. They are indeed where they are meant to be.
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic more you listen to it, more your ears will start to appreciate the vocal control and the symphony
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic Re microtones, Ustad Sami uses a system of 49 microtones which is a combination of Hindostani classical and Arabian Music
A more appropriate translation would be: “why have you snatched my finger ring, O beloved?”
Oh, would that be his wedding ring?
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic her (not wedding) ring - it is the female beseeching her lover to give her back her ring, without which she cannot go home
Reaction focuses too much on the graph. It was supposed to be a music reaction.
