- The Berklee Indian Ensemble is delighted to present “5 Peace Band” featuring renowned Indian composer and vocalist, Shankar Mahadevan. Composed by John McLaughlin, “5 Peace Band” was most notably performed by 'Remember Shakti', the reformation of 1970s indo-jazz fusion group, 'Shakti'. Led by John McLaughlin (guitar) and Zakir Hussain (tabla), 'Remember Shakti' included U. Shrinivas (mandolin), Shankar Mahadevan (vocals), and V. Selvaganesh (kanjira, ghatam, mridangam).
It was indeed an honor for our Berklee Indian Ensemble musicians to reinterpret such an iconic composition, and collaborate on this live performance with Shankar Ji as part of the fourth Berklee India Exchange (BIX) Artist Residency. We also dedicate this video in tribute to John McLaughlin who will receive an Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music on July 10th, 2017 in Valencia, Spain.

Drummer was already quarantining himself in 2017.
I'd go to Berklee. Not to study, but to hang around outside for three years and get autographs.
Eminem : I'm the fastest.
Rohith : Hold my Sa Re Ga Ma
Can we take a moment to appreciate the guy on the fender Stratocaster?
That guitarist deserve medal.
it almost felt like Shankar Mahadevan himself had stopped just to enjoy the Rohith's vocals.
When I was a teenager I dreamed about his school ...could not be... I hope they admit retired grandparents! I think to study harder than anyone :) very fan
Props to the guitar player for learning flawlessly the vocalist's 2mn long solo. Very impressive.
*They are singing in the language of Musical instruments*
Damn!! Those are all the Permutations and Combinations of Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Could ever exist !!
The complexity behind those polyrhythms combined with the mysticism of the melodies and the jazz influences is truly mesmerizing. Even my 8 months daughter watched this in our living room with total attention. ❤️❤️❤️
Imagine a collaboration between these geniuses and Snarky Puppy.. That would be epic.
Has a Drummer/ Percussionist I can't even imagine how they attempted such a difficult composition which was only performed by the great legendary Musicians Zakir Hussain and Giant Legendary Musicians like John Mac Laughlin, Shankar Mahadevan.
This is so addictive, I can’t stop listening. This is like a perfect marriage between Indian and western classical music.
i just witnessed a flower opening in the sunlight after being freshly watered.
The guitarist as known as Aleif Hamdan is a beast. played flawlessly. he deserves every happiness in the world
I think I've watched this at least once a week for a year now.
The Music and Styles the Indian ancesters have already mastered it long ago..... .no wonder Old Indian Civilization was the most Amazing Gifted civilization ever existed... They Masterred the Art of Singing,, .Music's .Science .philosophy..Miracles and Beyond way back ... ..and their legacies still we get to hear it today from these talented Brothers....
Good version, but i can't help it - a word about McLaughlin, who is one of those few unique and fearless musicians that march to their own drummer, as they say. He changed music history a number of times. Not your normal guy - he's a brother from another planet and went where no man has gone before and in fact, where no man has gone since.
Tamil soil given three children to the globe. At rehman, shivamani, and Shankar mahadevan thankyou again my soil god bless them wishes from tamilnadu
And to think each syllable they are pronouncing is the indian sound for the note. Wow
Aisi chiz gaane aur bajane k liye 15 20 saal ki siksha chahiye
Kiya baat Shankar mahadevn g and all other musicians are so Brilliant 👏
The vocals solos have not been improvised right? Coz if it is, that guitarist is a god.
Huge respect to Srinivas, Mahadevan, Mclaughlin, Zakir Hussain and Selva Ganesh who gave this beautiful music spontaneously! :)
Im stunned! Just love Indian/western music fusion so much. That singing is heavenly!
I feel like a drop in the ocean
I feel defeated by great music
I always knew that only “crazy” people study at Berkeley! :)
I don't know what they are saying but it sounds beautiful!!!
Fury Foxhound they're notes in Indian classical music. Akin to 'do re mi...'
The older Indian Guy in the Purple Shirt is amazing. I love It when musician enjoy the music they Play / Sing
Indian skatting???? This is the most amazing sound ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bridget F Stegall not really skatting. each of the syllables used are a part of the Indian octane (sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni, sa). much like do,re,mi. now imagine the different combinations you can make out of them :)
I feel sorry for those 88 people who disrespected the music
I've been living under a rock! This is life-changing amazing! Musical Paradigm completely blown!
Why is Berklee Indian Ensemble always so enchanting? These people are just amazing, whether it's about Shreya Ghoshal, AR Rahman or Shankar Mahadevan, they ensure that the show is at its best with the perfect music, beats and notes. Leaves me in awe everytime. Captivated by your music man!
Love❤
This is literally the best thing I've ever heard. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this.
the guy with orange hair is my favourite at Berkeley music school.
Incredible talent. Nothing else needs to be said.
Why is there only 10 mins of this. I need atleast 3 hrs of this
Good God! Who is that fine specimen belting out those Carnatic notations like a God?
Slowly but surely, this put a big smile on my face 🙂
Shankar Mahadevan sir, whatever you did at the end, was something out of this world!!! HUGE HUGE RESPECT..
no words.. from breathless to speechless.. 😍😍😍
I love how everyone seems to be having so much fun, that's what it is all about
The sheer joy on their faces is a testament to their love for music.
Hey, anyone here Remembers Shakti?☺️
If you listen carefully the musical instruments are making exact sounds they're singing verbally 🙃🙃🙃
Music is a language in itself. It doesn't need dictionary words to express itself.
Just Speechless !!! j'en reste bouche bée !!! Monsieur Shankar Mahadevan est encore plus impressionnant dans cette version que dans celle donnée en compagnie du Dr John Mc Laughlin lors du "Jazz à Vienne". Hats off to everyone !!!
Thankyou, MahaVisnu JOHN MCLAUGHLIN ❤️
So this is a piece from the band Shakti who were an ensemble of the best artists in the Indian classical scene at the time and John Mclaughlin. Listening to them has definitely changed my thinking of what music can do.
I came here for a moment and I'm having 10 mins of blossomness.
It is impossible to imagine the effort these guys must have put for this performance. Really, hats off to everyone. :)
The guitar player is insanely good, the whole ensemble is but the complexity of the melodies the guitar player is playing to double the singers and the violinist is just fantastic!
Everytime I revisit this performance it just gets more joyfull ,some of the finest music i've ever heard ,wish they'd do an actual cd of it
Absolute BARS. he's spiTTIN
People say you lack taste of music , I say they lack imagination & creativity.
The 5 piece band original composition is by Ustaad "ZAKIR HUSSAIN" "JOHN MCLAUGHLIN","L SHANKAR","RAMNAD RAGHAVAM" and "VINAYAKRAM" called "SHAKTI" and sung by "SHANKAR MAHADEVAN". The band is a fusion of Carnatic, Hindustani and jazz music.
I am a 61 year old Cherokee, German, French breed...I was digging some Teddy Swims and this was at the end of one of his play lists. I feel so sheltered...LOL...never heard of this style before but I stumped my husband, I told him he would guess once a day for eternity and not guess what I was listening to. I like it, Michelle likes it! How fun. The joinery of each part is seamless.
This is like food, like medicine, like oxygen. As it ends - snap snap! - I start again at the beginning. In a world that is so so crazy, I find faith here, and joy. Celebration.
I would love to study with you Shankar Mahadevan ‼️. Wow!
Oh...what a beauty...
in 5/8th rhythm.
This is a gift for music lovers to cherish for years and years
May god bless them with good health to create and inspire many more such pieces..
Love it! Thank you India for these lovely stylish vibes.
every now and then i remember this exists and come back to watch it and it never fails to elicit pure joy, and put me in my place about how little i truly know about music
Que hermoso ensamble. Saludos desde Chile
what kind of sorcery is this? I felt like being on drugs.. they are too awesome :)
I knew the genius of Shankar Mahadevan, who doesn't? But it was the other guy, Rohith Jayaraman, who impressed me. Out of this world.
Rohith Jayaraman awesome singing....Truly talented
Now that's what I call Shankar; Lord of Music. Lord of Lord. Shankar Mahadevan!
Mind blown 🤯 trying to calculate how many times I’ll listen to this work of art in the years ahead.
That drummer got my full attention 🙏
That guitar player is the upcoming Sir John Mclaughlin
I've looked for other Berklee college videos. They're all amazing but my gosh none of them comes to this Jewel right there. Talk about musical genuis
This is superbly amazing..!!!
