Guyss... Malayalam movie teaser "Minnal Murali" just released starring Tovino Thomas... .. its a pan India release... into 5 languages including Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu and Tamil. Its the first Super hero movie from Malayalam film industry.
Aalapooran thamizhan song from the movie Mersal...
I am in love with her. The joy in her face while explaining is soo infectious.
She misinterprets things sometimes ....
She has lots and lots of videos on classical music
She is anuja kamat. She had done many videos on classical music.
@@m4lev0lentdem0nknightamv5 For example she lost me where she says "raaga" is anglicized. No, it is the correct samskrutam word. "Raag" is hindiized and "raagam" is south Indian language apabhramsha of the sasnkrutam word "raaga"
@@telugujoshi These are the kind of people who would have only learnt what is enough in the syllabus to qualify junior and senior level and think that they are maestros that they have knowledge about every thing in the world . They should not talk about things if they don't know enough .
If she makes such a blatant error .. wonder how much misinterpreted information she has spread around the world .
We are mostly Korbin here... just admiring the singing and beauty
You are absolutely right man
Absolutely 👍
Haha so true
@@bobinpune plz find other channel to spit your poison.
🙌👏👍
Whoever requested this video, you requested something magnificent!!
Thank you😊. I sent the whole playlist, we will have to see if they react to another one from her basics of classical music series
@@aravindak7385 Yes! I want them to react to the entire playlist!!!!
@@aravindak7385 great work. Thanks for doing so.
@parth Kalra Thank you brother. I thought the same thing when I sent the request
@@aravindak7385 how are u doing this ..like request something to them??
Video : Let me explain the Raag to you.
Rick : Is that a bindi or a mole. 😂
😂😂😂😂
@@bobinpune Bhai sahab koi nahi sunn rha aapko. Apne paise le liye ab so jao itni mahnat bhi nahi krne ko bola tha opposition ne. 3-4th video me dekh rha hu comment aapka. Ab to taras aane laga hai aape. :D
@@taxpayer8253 lol
@@bobinpune some one give him some ich guard khujli bohot ho rahi he isko shayad
It's a mindi (mole-bindi)
the expression on Korbin's face is the same as of every new student trying to understand Indian classical music..and the expression of Rick's face is as a parent who is so happy that his child is learning classical music..
exactly
So accurately commented 😂
😁
Indic culture is all about freedom with restriction, there is no absolute freedom there is always an underlying responsibility/etiquette.
Like you're free to protest but not disrupt lives of non participating citizens,
You're as a king/ruler free to declare war on neighbours for land or resources but you cannot butcher non combating citizens or destroy resources.
Most ancient and complex culture beautifully well explained in a few simple words. Just like Indian culture - magnificently complex with simple appearance. And that king and war thing... Soooo true of indic culture. GOOD JOB ! 👍
Beautifully explained 👏🏼
Beautiful explanation of Indian culture. 👌👍
This is by far the best explanation of our culture ever👍🏻👍🏻
**Hindu culture
Having learnt Hindustani classical music for 9-10 years, this is my favourite reaction of yours. 🙈🙈🙈You guys finally getting a hint of what is a Raag and understanding the depths of Indian Classical Music in a more perceptive way.
Beautiful name SANGHOMITRA
Wow! 10 Years! Still pursuing? ☺
and love Anuja's videos as well because she explains in such a simplistic way and also demonstrates what she is explaining
@@ranamehipal2933 Thank you so much.🙈
@@parijatsaha3977 No, sadly not anymore. I did start at a young age though...from 6 years till my 12th class board exams lol. May have given a gap of one or two years in between, so yes roughly about 10 years
She has also explained raags of Padmavati Movie Songs.
You guys should check that out.
She did an amazing job. BTW the set of notes that make up a raag is called thaat in Hindustani music. As she explained with Yaman, it can and does substitute the basic notes which are not the basic do re mi fa, but sharp and flat notes. Yaman for example uses the sharp 'ma' and belongs to the Kalyan thaat.
9:02 Rick : unbelievable
me : what .... ( this is equivalent to learning to write the alphabet 'A' in english ..... wait for the real stuff )
Nobody:
Me listening to classical music: kuch samjha nhi pr bohot accha lga
Are koi nai dubara dekhlo .
Apna bhi yahi haal hai..Par fir baat wahi hai na,Khane ka swad lene wale ko khana banana aata ho aisa jaruri nahi hai.woh bs khane ka swad chakh kar aanand le sakta hai..mai bhi wahi karta hun
@@tusharraut9439 wow....
🤣
😂😂😂same here
I loved the differences between the expressions of Rick and Korbin here! 😂😂
When you realise that autotune is a technology for all those who can't
sing.
This was a perfectly explained video.. loved it..
And this is what gives each raag it's own flavour.. like you will be able to get sad, happy, powerful etc. emotions from each raag...
Rick is a thinker, isn't he.
A teacher must be a thinker, rather you can't be a good teacher unless you dissect and understand.
Her lit up soul is projected through her wide beautiful eyes!
How beautifully you can play around and express the emotions following the rules determines how good of a musician you are.
I think you cant look at Indian classical music as just another form of music.... it has soo much mathematical precision and it was invented around 2000 years ago or even before that.. it was never for entertainment ... the science behind it is such that when a certain frequency of notes are sung in a particular tempo, order, and time of the day, it would cause changes in the environment and the human body and mind. The arrangement of the frequency and the sound waves would interact to achieve a specific result. It exists today as well, where there are some shlokas or mantras that when chanted in a specific form and volume with proper precision at the correct time of the day, it can do wonders for the body and mind. So yeah it is extremely more complex, and you should look at the history of it and the complexity of it. There are over 1200 major ragas and many more minor ones. they all emote a specific feeling or purpose to them. There was a famous singer Tansen in the rule of king Akbar, and he used to sing this Raag " Malhar", whenever he sang this Raag it would start to rain in the topical area above him.
Rick is in attentive mode (Hands position) and Korbin in a defensive mode(he's confused af)...lol !!!
Just with the ascending and descending notes had tears in my eyes
Her eyes 🙏🏻 deep eyes and lovely smile sweetest voice... Fall in love with her ❤️❤️
It looks like her face froze into a super happy expression.
Her expression is infectious 😄
Listening to Rick it is obvious he knows in-depth about poetry, music, and literature and their confluence. A Master, yet humble - still learning about other forms of artistry. Kudos!
I asked you guys to react to one of her video a year ago, Finally you got there!!
Through your videos I am reminded of aspects of my country that I sometimes forget and stuff which otherwise I might not have seen. Thankyou for making me appreciate my culture even more 🙏
She did a great job at explaining. There are more layers to a Raag though, hers is a simplified explanation for basic classical singing..
For e.g the concept of thaat- each raag is supposed to be sung at a certain time of the day because it evokes a certain feeling/mood conducive to/best sounding at that time of the day. So while one raag is from an early morning 'thaat' to be sung at 3:30am, another might be a late night one, etc.
There's khatka, murki, gamak, meend, thumri, dhrupad...... and many many more.
@Dream Dream Serene I don't teach as such but I graduated from Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyapeeth, and can definitely recommend some books.
In India, you will find the book series 'Raag Parichay'. It has Music Theory and History in detail. Highly recommend that to anyone interested.
Guys try and contact Mahesh Kale for an interview he lives in California Bay Area, he teaches Indian classical music there. You have reacted to his individual video and one with Koushiki Chakravarti
Wow... I'll wait for that interview eagerly.
Wow! She is just fantastic! Her voice is so beautiful... Captivating...Pure Magic...
OMG I am jumping around in my kitchen! Anuja is a college mate of mine and I LOVE her videos and I suggested it ages ago probably on Kaushiki Chakraborty’s videos. She deserves more views man, she is so good at explaining Hindustani classical music!
Finally!!!!!! I wrote to you almost an year back when you reviewed Ustad Zakir Hussain to look at this channel for alll your Indian music related queries. I'll sleep for an extra hour today.
Guyss... Malayalam movie teaser "Minnal Murali" just released starring Tovino Thomas... .. its a pan India release... into 5 languages including Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu and Tamil. Its the first Super hero movie from Malayalam film industry.
The most charming video I have ever seen! Her excitement and sheer joy in sharing the knowledge is so endearing to see. And God her voice! Her love for music reflects in her voice and it's clear that music loves her back! ❤️❤️
Anuja Kamat is fricking awesome and underrated. She also gave very informative speech at TedX.
What Rick said about "Structure releases a creativity" is so true... I'm learning Hindustani Classical and Carnatic Classical Flute and I realize that the structure actually makes it easier to compose and build music (for improvisation).. if there were no rules, it would be too confusing or overwhelming. But with the structure and restriction, we are more "free" to explore the notes within raga and get much more creative.
She got such a beautiful personality that smile 😍😍😍
Rick: "Structure releases creativity" ... I'm going to hold on to that quote for a long time.
It's like a chaotic order. Chaos within order.
There actually are 27 notes in one so called 'octave'. They are called 'shruti's. They include all the in-between notes. That's only for one octave, once u go to next octave it has another set of its own 27 shrutis... 27 distinct notes.
Her voice is really wonderful ..Very intricate & detailed knowledge about the the topic of Raagas ...Hope you guys have clarified all the doubts regarding Indian Classical
She has done a good job explaining Rsag
OMG I have attended few workshops for non singers or amateurs... but never has it been explained soooo well... thank you Rick and korbin... for reacting on this video ... it's amazing... simply suuupppeerrrbbbbbb.. superb...
"The structure releases a creativity that wouldn't otherwise be" - Rick nailed it!
"Chalan" is basically like movie teaser it gives sense of what's coming ahead
Oh my u r going into technicalities of a raag❤️😍 I had this thought a while back considering your interest in classical music, giving u some videos like Anuja's... Love u guys... I willl try on my part to reach out to u with such videos... 😘❤️🙏
Really appreciate you guys giving such attention to Indian classical music - it's largely missing from the mainstream media in India (and elsewhere). It's surprising, impressive and inspiring that you have taken up a genuine interest in the classical music from India and made the effort of making such videos. It's hard to make such an endeavour sound stupid.
Damn! She's too good in explaining such a complicated thing in such a simple way! ❤️
And since you're so fond of indian classic music, you should definitely watch bandish bandits. You'll fall in love with it i bet! And also waiting for an interview with ritwik bhowmik! He's such a jolly guy🕺
See this is what i love about your channel in perticular. You give genuine effort to learn and deep dive. Other channels WATCH, LAUGH and forget. Good job.
Hey I follow her, she explains those complex things so simply & beautifully. I'm so glad you reacted to her ❤️
TOMORROW, 3RD SEPTEMBER, IS THE BIRTHDAY OF GREAT UTTAM KUMAR, THE MOST POPULAR BENGALI FILM STAR EVER, BIGGEST NAME IN BENGALI INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF FAN FOLLOWING. YOU CAN REACT HIS MOVIES ON THIS DAY. MOST OF HIS WORKS ARE AVAILABLE ON TH-cam. YOU CAN WATCH "NAYAK" (1966) OR "CHOWRANGEE" (1968) OR ANY OTHER FILM OF HIM.
The reason Indian classical music - Carnatic or Hindustani - sounds so fluid and free is because even though it has even MORE structure than Western music, the base note is never fixed. In Western music, every single piece ever written has, in the last century or so, become fixed to the anchor point that is A440. This creates a very rigid structure that can breed endless permutations of combinations, but also creates outrage whenever conventions are broken - be it blues, rock, jazz, or postmodernist music. In Indian classical music, the framework is much more defined - a piece cannot use every single note on the chromatic scale, for example - but the LOCATION of that framework is not anchored to any particular frequency. Moreover, because the framework itself does not tie itself down to any frequency either, the idea of "stepping" between notes is not nearly as big a deal in the conception and execution of any particular raag. In fact, multiple raags have ascending and descending scales that not only differ in the number of notes, but differ in the locations of those notes entirely. Raag Khamaj is a good example.
I am spellbound!! She is amazing..how amazingly she explained..I myself have learnt classical music and I can reckon she explained it in the most beautiful way possible!!
Raga is not an anglicized version of Raag or Raagam. That's how it is called in Kannada and Sanskrit. Ragam is a Tamil derived word.
Raagam is how it is uttered in Tamil, Malayalam, Tulu and Telugu
Being from Karnataka, even I was amused when she said Raga is anglicized version. Raga is the Kannada word for it, just like Laya, Thala and Bhava. If it ends with 'a', it mostly came from Kannada, may be even Sanskrit. Kannada has loads of words derived from Sanskrit. I don't know Sanskrit, so I can't be sure.
@@johnutube5651 Not in Tulu. We say Raga in Tulu, just like Kannada
@@BuntFencer Yeah, they are all Sanskrit derived. And Yeah Tulu doesn't use Ragam either. Not sure where the guy got it from. I'm a Tulu speaking Kannadiga. So can confirm it.
It's not only Rag but many other words as well for instance Yog, Vedant etc.
All my life we used to pronounce these as Yog, Raag, Vedant etc, but as soon as these words found their way into English, they took these words from their source language like sanskrit and there comes an AA in each word and they became Yoga, Raga, Vedanta etc.
Technically it is right but practically most of us have changed our pronounciation after hearing the English speaking people and not by knowing the actual root, and thats pathetic IMO.
So I would say she is practically right in saying that these are anglicised words. Think for a moment, if we replace our Ramzan with Ramadan (Ramadan being the actual source word from Arabic), will it make any sense? Hell no.
I am so glad that you finally covered her video. She's just too good. She has a whole series. She's a great teacher and a very competent singer as well.
In Indian Culture, music is very closely related to Maths. Maths & musical notes are related.
Very nice information, guys watch more of her videos to understand Indian classical music, and let me remind you that it is ONLY INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC and NOT all eastern music. they don't have this in China, Japan or Koria or any other Eastern country, their music is different.
This was sooooo good, her smile is infectious ❤️
Even I am learning new things ...her voice is beautiful
You need to watch her video on “ornamentation” -Alankaar. Phenomenal. Explains the unique beauty of Indian classical music.
When someone learns classical music in our community, then you will be amazed how he or she doing daily 'riyaz' (practise in music) for years. It is the basic sa re ga ma pa dha ni, ni dha pa ma ga re sa and other alteration alongwith the musical instrument called 'harmonium'. This is the root, basic, and must in the school of Indian classical music. I had grown up hearing sound in neighbours, mostly in the early Morning.
I just wanted her to go on and on and on. Beautiful ❤️❤️
She is amazing.. Please do watch more of her lectures on indian classical music
So-do-la-fa-me-do-re! How I LOVE The Sound Of Music!!! 🥰🥰🙏
I am SO GLAD you picked her videos! She is THE MOST talented artist on TH-cam imo. Thank you. Id request everyone to go to her channel and subscribe her. She deserves all the attention in the world whr we make Dhinchaak Pooja like people famous :(
u should review c u soon.It has got rave reviews in india.
See this is what i love about your channel in perticular. You put genuine effort to learn and deep dive. Other channels WATCH, LAUGH, ENJOY and forget. Good Job.
this girl really amazed i just love her notes thanks for reacting her
React more to her . Starting from her early explanation videos. Especially about difference between Indian and Western classical. Indian instruments video and Alankar in Indian Classical music.
The structure which allows so much creativity which you mentioned was explained to you by Tushar Lall in a brilliant way. He said something along the lines of...Indian Classical music restricted itself to melody as opposed to harmony (as found within Western music) which allowed them to delve deep within that sphere. He said he sees the restriction more like a man choosing to go and sit in a cave as opposed to being told to stay in prison. Brilliant!
Also, the music sounds very free flowing because it is. Once the "restrictions/rules" have been internalised, the musicians learn to live within that raag whilst performing it and can do a lot of free flowing stuff which sounds beautiful. I don't think they're ever thinking in the moment about which note they can and cannot touch, they are just exploring all the sounds available to them in a way their mood on any given day drives them to.
P.S. I've been meaning to send you Anuja's videos for a long time now, glad someone did.
I was as clueless as Korbin 😀😂. Who else was?
Well, there were some classicla maestros who tried mixing the raags and succeeded and they faced a lot of criticism for the same too. e.g. Vasantrao Deshpande. His grandson is also a singer in Katyar Kaljat Ghusali movie in which he has sung alongside Mahesh Kale. That movie is awesome.
Rick, She answers most questions you have had listening to Indian classical. That is why I have bee recommending her channel all year. You have real musical questions and she does demo it beautifully
This music is like maths and that's why I can't do it😂😂😂
Hahaha same
I do math. But not raag 😂😂😂
@@mithughorai748 can't do either 🤷♀️
M happy she is here on reaction video, followed her long back 😍😍😍
React to Scam 1992 teaser it's looking GREAT
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa..... This seven words can do Miracles ❤️
Just imagine these were developed 5000 years before. Thts how developed Indian culture was. But sadly world didn't learned from it other than exploitation by colonies
not 5000 years ago bro... its about 2500 years ago
Beautiful video. Wouldn't have stumbled upon this had it not been for this channel.
Where is c u soon review??if it was a hindi movie u guys would've reviewed it by now
Indian Classical Music is a language inherently complete... All emotions can be conveyed... ❤️. Good effort in explaining briefly...
Please react to "THE MEDLEY"(Antakshari) from MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE movie....Please please please
Man I learn a lot by watching videos with you guys.

Finally, you guys watched one of her videos... Had requested for them quite a bit. Hope you will continue to watch more of her videos. Her channel has a Crash course of sorts on Indian classical music where the basics and many more such concepts and little intricacies of the music have been explained in such a lucid and beautiful way that even a layman can appreciate it. Please please follow up with more of her videos...
I had come across her videos when I had just started listening to and enjoying classical music. And no wonder that I binge watched all of them and then used to wait for newer ones anxiously.
10 RAGAS TO A DISCO BEAT : Late Sir Charanjit Singh. A 1982 album release (rediscovered in 21st century) made with prototype piece of Roland TB-303. 5 years later the similar electronic sound from same instrument took on western dance music culture as ACID HOUSE(with techno & trance vibes) created without any known influence of this album. A must listen for any Indian classical or electronic music enthusiast.
Omg why is she smiling so much it's super cute!
I'm so glad and so happy that you're taking so much interest in learning and trying to know the basics of India classical music apart from listening and loving them too. ❤️
This gem of a video that's simultaneously soul-stirring and heart-warming, really deserved Korbin's spontaneous applause and Rick's seasoned appreciation of the intricacies of Indian classical music! Lovely reaction!
This video touched the essence of the channel in ways beyond human words can describe.
Full armed support from West Bengal.... Liking your work .... It's really cool....
She is so lively and you both are always with good and high spirit. 👍😊
If anyone noticed, most Chinese traditional music is in Bhoop
Wow! She did brilliantly.. sometimes you miss things when you explain something which you know so well, but she didn't. She's a great teacher..👏👏👏👏 she explained it so well that I'm 100% sure that Rick understood it Completely. I don't know about Korbin though..
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Also, when you learn a raag you learn its introduction which includes aroha and avroha and all that she explained *INCLUDING* the mood it induces and *time of the day* or year it is ment to be sung....
Ex. Raag Malhaar is sung during rainy season (and during those days, it can be sung any time of the day during that season)..
Raag JaiJaiwanti was sung when a king would come back victor from a war...
Raag Deepak was last sung by tansen.. they say it would make the atmosphere so hot that a candle infront of the singer would burn and singer would die if he doesnt disrespect the raag and stop in the middle.. but it was so complex that it is lost in the times.. and no written notation system was available that time
They are not sung out of their respective time or mood..
Guys..... You are a HUGE revelation from your very first reaction video where I thought it was just another couple with a flippant reaction. Rick's understanding is worthy of respect whereas Corbin has that uncanny ability to pick on the nuance of the video perfectly. I got to learn a lot just watching you guys react and lots of RESPECT and love for what you guys do.... Your journey here is mine too. Salute!
Go through the entire series... She has amazing videos
My fav reaction channel ❤
You both are blessed to receive all of this from a great nation, India 🙏
India is teaching you and Indians! Many Indians don't know much!
I found her channel this month and watched all her episodes. Because i learn from youtube but got saturated in the way, this channel opened me a new way to improve instrumental. I'm learning raags one by one.
She is Anuja Kamat. Apparently she has stopped the channel for some reason a couple of years ago; but all of her episodes are still available on TH-cam. She has explained many aspects of Raag music in an amusing manner. And behold, there are innumerable topics hidden within Hindutani and Carnatic classical music. Find her videos.
