funny you say that... the violin is often used to accompany the vocals of a singer in Carnatic music. Additionally, the violin is tuned and played differently in Carnatic music to match the singing style, and yes, the Gamakas of the voice is also replicated in the violin
I don't like how people call different types of music more beautiful than others it's just different I think all music is genuinely beautiful expression of one's own emotion.

You are right absolutely... Thousands of years evolution in Indian Music. One of the 4 Vedas( Ancient sacred texts of Hinduism ) is actually covers Indian Music and it's rules. All our Ancient texts were actually transferred through songs and hymes until they were written on Palm leaves
It's not a "more advanced" way of singing as art is highly subjective. You can say Indian Classical explores different aspects of music compared to Western Classical and so on.

I think it’s so amazing how these singers can do all the curves and ornamentations and still find the scale pitches so easily. It’s like they are built in and they can just have fun getting there. love this!!!
I was trained in Indian classical music since I was 5 and trust me, it's not fun getting there at all. Repeated practice of the basics, again, a hell *LOT* of practising and listening to classical songs all my life is what enabled me to sing as I do today. 😄
indian classical is insane. I keep trying to understand but my western classically trained brain can't understand it. it's so cool. I wish I can be taught
Damn dude it was opposite for me I am classical hindustani musician (she talked about carnatic music here) And when i started to learn western music as well, it was easier for me to learn
You can still learn. I started with Indian classical and moved towards western classical and always looked for Indian classical anywhere I could but it's hard to find a teacher. I learnt from just copying Bollywood songs but I like understanding the theory and I can convert this to western theory but there's more that you just have to accept like notes in between general western scales
So would everybody recommend trying to study this carnatic/hindustani music/singing techniques first, so that I can easily improve on western style music/singing? Because I was leaning towards that
When she added the gamakas to the notes after singing it plainly, I smiled responsively. Wow, Indian music is phenomenal! Regards from the Philippines!
Wow. I don't know why this is in my recommendations but I thoroughly enjoyed your video! It's very educational and inspiring to know about indian culture because there's rarely people who care to share or teach it to the world. Gamakas do sound fantastic!

It's more like an exercise. You have to practice it, only a few with natural talent can sing that, all the rest are specifically trained to do that. Like the women in the video, she's a trained singer.
Omg before this video, I thought Indian yodelling existed. FINALLY, gamaka is the right term! Every time I hear sliding melodies, it automatically transports me to the Indian culture. I keep hearing this in Bollywood films. They usually have musical segments.
I guess the western equivalent to gamaka is ornemantation. The first one is similar to a glissando, slide or bend. Second one is similar to a trill or mordent. Third one is similar to an accent on the second note
Yasmin Devan yeah the only thing is Gamaka singers really utilize semitones and for some reason have found a way to really showcase the notes in between the half steps
Um. Hindustani and Carnatic singing is SO MUCH more complex than Western singing (says this classically trained Western singer). See my note to Panicking Shmuley.
Cameo Shadowness true! It could be seen as a syncopation. But most syncopations also tend to be more varied then just one accent on a second beat. I think both interpretations are correct, it is either a simple syncopation or an accent on the second beat.
I love all kinds of music, but it's only Indian singing that makes me reflexively close my eyes and sway... it's like someone pulling my heart strings when I hear those slides.
I mean, there's a difference in sliding when it's intended and when it's not. Not all music is meant to have slides, just like how not all music is meant to be absent of slides.
Reminds me of my choir director making us sing row by row to pick out the individual who was sliding notes or singing off key. But goodluck learning these techniques
Choral singing is an exact art, that’s why directors don’t like it when choristers add stuff that’s not indicated in the score. When the composer does ask for slides, it will be indicated.
yo for reeeal. i wasn't classically trained for long, but it was enough that when i switched to contemporary i just couldn't (still kinda can't) get the hang of sliding
I'm a singer from Italy. Europeans know nothing about singing tecniques of other continents. I think this is a pity! This style of singing is beautiful. I'm trying to follow your exercises...they are not easy for someone who never tried this style, even if you are already a singer. Thank you, you are an amazing singer! I hope other styles of music will be known more in Italy and Europe. Mixing Cultures and music can create new amazing things... (:
naaah, ti sbagli, l'ultima parte della tua opinione è solo MARXISMO, dubito completamente che i musicisti karnatik vorrebbero mescolare la loro cultura musicale con qualsiasi altro stile perché in questo modo la cultura musicale karnatik può perdere, semplicemente, ma tu sei europeo non è raro che tu voglia mixare ed eliminare il tuo proprio culturel musicale, il MARXISMO è la cosa quotidiana in Europa, non riesco a immaginare Vivaldi che usa sitar e bansuri nel suo lavoro, o Haendel che usa i gamaka nei suoi cori di Halelullah, non essere scemo, l'eredità musicale europea e l'eredità della musica indiana vanno bene proprio come lo è, i gamaka sono straordinari nel loro stile, anche i cori europei, se pensi che questo mix possa funzionare prima prova a mescolare un pesce con un pollo, se può essere carino forse anche questi due stili possono essere carini
It exists in middle-eastern music too, called "koma". There are 9 middle notes in between two notes. Like western music has accidentals. It's usually the performers' consideration to how perform komas to achieve a natural sound and results are pretty similar to gomakas described in the video. Mostly oud and clarinet players like to use komas as these instruments allow them to do more with it.
I think the closest thing western music has is traditional irish music, which has “trills” of two notes in between the melodic notes for embellishment-really cool to hear how different middle eastern and south asian music is from what I’m used to hearing
that’s because it is autotune. her voice sounds robotic is some places, which is a clear marker of pitch correction/autotune. i’m not saying she wasn’t using the technique but this isn’t what this type of singing sounds like live.
As a western musician, I've been fascinated with the melodic delivery of both north and south Indian music for decades. I learned a number of ragas but could tell very quickly that there's much more to it. I'm really excited to have discovered your channel. Subscribed!
I’ve always been in awe of the fluidity it takes to be able to do this and not skate on the edge of being flat or sharp. It’s almost a hypnotic sound. Also, reducing the video speed helped immensely in understanding what exactly was going on with what I’d normally call a “run.”
Indian Classical Music has amazing Melodic Ornamentation. Runs certainly are one of them, but it's the 'CONTINUOUS or UNBROKEN TRANSITION' from one note to another that makes Indian Classical Unique. Eastern cultures, in general, tend to have such continuity, but Indian Classical has explored it the most. This just makes music more diverse. We all need to learn from each other and take music forward !
@@beautyandthesavage These are composed by Raveendran master, you can search for his other works too. Most of his work are sung by legendary singer Yesudas sir and Chithra mam.
Something about this music touches the heart and i find the voice spontaneously singing/chanting in ways the mind does not even intellectually understand. Yet here I am, dancing. Then, I stumble upon videos like these - they help Thank you, haribol
@MahaVakyas it's one thing to praise your own culture and another to degrade another culture. I agree that our Indian culture is amazing, I don't think we have to degrade western culture to show that though!
I love at 2:48, the animators didn't even attempt to follow the changes with a line graph, absolutely stunning singing and learning experience. Thank you!
i was trying for ages to figure out what it was called, i watch bollywood movies and love hindustani classical and i’ve always wondered what the true term for it was. man, indian culture is incredible. namaskaaram from houston texas
Singing scales this way instead of the Western way like I was taught has finally given me control over smooth transitions from chest voice to head voice. I've been playing with overtones and subharmonics for about 2 years but this method of singing has really brought all of my ranges together. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Actually, continuity is fundamental in Indian Classical Music. It really decorates Melodies in a spectacular fashion, which has not been explored in the West, simply because it's not Western. Also, Singing becomes much easier, because you get a very good control over your voice ...
I love the way Gamakas sounds, It's so beautiful 😭❤ I'm from New Zealand, and I would absolutely love to go to a festival where their people are dancing in their colourful and wonderful cultural outfits and this kind of music is playing. I love it!
I wish I could place sub-titles on some amazing Indian movies that use these concepts for their movies. It’s learning through entertainment. Btw, none of them are Bollywood movies though. Lol. They are just annoying. You should learn Telugu or Kannadam if you can. That’s the gateway to all these forms of music.
One of the most clear and beautiful voices I've ever heard! As an American I've always loved Carnatic music and the singing style. I've never seen the technique of Carnatic vocals and embellishments explained. In America they call this "runs." Thank you for sharing. 💖
As an American, I absolutely love learning all about this. Very interesting to know about Indian music theory and singing styles like this. Amazing video :)
np I’m not Indian but I’m glad RUclips recommended this to me. It’s so cool. Im Jewish though and it reminds me of the singing I had to learn to read from the Torah for my bar mitzvah. 😊

I'm trying to follow your exercises...they are not easy for someone who never tried this style, even if you are already a singer. Thank you, you are an amazing singer! I hope other styles of music will be known more in Italy and Europe. Mixing Cultures and music can create new amazing things... (:

naaah, ti sbagli, l'ultima parte della tua opinione è solo MARXISMO, dubito completamente che i musicisti karnatik vorrebbero mescolare la loro cultura musicale con qualsiasi altro stile perché in questo modo la cultura musicale karnatik può perdere, semplicemente, ma tu sei europeo non è raro che tu voglia mixare ed eliminare il tuo proprio culturel musicale, il MARXISMO è la cosa quotidiana in Europa, non riesco a immaginare Vivaldi che usa sitar e bansuri nel suo lavoro, o Haendel che usa i gamaka nei suoi cori di Halelullah, non essere scemo, l'eredità musicale europea e l'eredità della musica indiana vanno bene proprio come lo è, i gamaka sono straordinari nel loro stile, anche i cori europei, se pensi che questo mix possa funzionare prima prova a mescolare un pesce con un pollo, se può essere carino forse anche questi due stili possono essere carini

It exists in middle-eastern music too, called "koma". There are 9 middle notes in between two notes. Like western music has accidentals. It's usually the performers' consideration to how perform komas to achieve a natural sound and results are pretty similar to gomakas described in the video. Mostly oud and clarinet players like to use komas as these instruments allow them to do more with it.
Thanks for this extra info :)
Thank you so much I wish to learn about this immediately!
I think the closest thing western music has is traditional irish music, which has “trills” of two notes in between the melodic notes for embellishment-really cool to hear how different middle eastern and south asian music is from what I’m used to hearing
This is the one Shakira uses.
Makes sense considering the middle easts history with india
4:08 woah it sounds like auto tune 😳 this is amazing
Celeste Verdin It’s raw indian talent 😇
that’s because it is autotune. her voice sounds robotic is some places, which is a clear marker of pitch correction/autotune. i’m not saying she wasn’t using the technique but this isn’t what this type of singing sounds like live.
@@f1ftyfiftycl0wn you can search for live performances by indian singers... this technique is widely used actually. It's not autotuned
@@f1ftyfiftycl0wn ruclips.net/video/hzw5_UKy_1s/видео.html. That's a live performance of the song by the original singer.

She sing very nicly
As a western musician, I've been fascinated with the melodic delivery of both north and south Indian music for decades. I learned a number of ragas but could tell very quickly that there's much more to it. I'm really excited to have discovered your channel. Subscribed!
Blew my mind. My shower singing will be next level now!

I’ve always been in awe of the fluidity it takes to be able to do this and not skate on the edge of being flat or sharp. It’s almost a hypnotic sound.
Also, reducing the video speed helped immensely in understanding what exactly was going on with what I’d normally call a “run.”
Me too 😍
A run is more of a mariah carey rnb ornementation thing, this is how the lyrics are sung, runs also glide less and in and from less directions
Indian Classical Music has amazing Melodic Ornamentation. Runs certainly are one of them, but it's the 'CONTINUOUS or UNBROKEN TRANSITION' from one note to another that makes Indian Classical Unique. Eastern cultures, in general, tend to have such continuity, but Indian Classical has explored it the most. This just makes music more diverse. We all need to learn from each other and take music forward !
This is the most beautiful and magical thing I've seen today. Wow.
Then try these songs based on classical Carnatic music:
Pramadavanam Veendum
Devasabhathalam
If you need more just ask.
@@0arjun077 wowww! you've blessed this evening. These are beautiful!!!
@@beautyandthesavage These are composed by Raveendran master, you can search for his other works too. Most of his work are sung by legendary singer Yesudas sir and Chithra mam.

Something about this music touches the heart and i find the voice spontaneously singing/chanting in ways the mind does not even intellectually understand. Yet here I am, dancing. Then, I stumble upon videos like these - they help
Thank you, haribol
Friends I found the best website that will help you to learn singing
that is LearnSinging55.blogspot.com
Hope this will help…

@MahaVakyas it's one thing to praise your own culture and another to degrade another culture. I agree that our Indian culture is amazing, I don't think we have to degrade western culture to show that though!
@MahaVakyas dude shut the fck up....you are a disgrace to all hindus
It's a shame these concepts aren't taught in schools. Truly amazing techniques that really show how much an instrument the voice is!
!!!!
I love at 2:48, the animators didn't even attempt to follow the changes with a line graph, absolutely stunning singing and learning experience.
Thank you!
I had no interest in Indian music until RUclips recommended this video to me but now I’m mesmerized

I had no idea what a Gamaka was. The instant that you demonstrated it my heart sang. Thank you for sharing, my friend!
"My heart sang" omg yes! That is exactly how this made me feel.
I’m Latina and I’ve always thought your music is sooo beautiful. Thank you for this video, your skill is amazing 😊
yh i agree💕💕
the yt algorithm on acid and it's amazing, this is great
Согласен ))
i was trying for ages to figure out what it was called, i watch bollywood movies and love hindustani classical and i’ve always wondered what the true term for it was. man, indian culture is incredible. namaskaaram from houston texas
Congratulations to the visual editor, this ended beautiful
Ok so if I correctly understand this videos, Gamakas are the Indian Spices to the music ! 🌈
@Ryan Kiddo You have basically no humour lmao

this person's voice is angelic oh my god
Singing scales this way instead of the Western way like I was taught has finally given me control over smooth transitions from chest voice to head voice. I've been playing with overtones and subharmonics for about 2 years but this method of singing has really brought all of my ranges together. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Actually, continuity is fundamental in Indian Classical Music. It really decorates Melodies in a spectacular fashion, which has not been explored in the West, simply because it's not Western. Also, Singing becomes much easier, because you get a very good control over your voice ...
holy crap! Now I know why Indian song sound the way they do! So cool!!
I love the way Gamakas sounds, It's so beautiful 😭❤ I'm from New Zealand, and I would absolutely love to go to a festival where their people are dancing in their colourful and wonderful cultural outfits and this kind of music is playing. I love it!

Go to your local hare krishna temple..
I wish I could place sub-titles on some amazing Indian movies that use these concepts for their movies. It’s learning through entertainment. Btw, none of them are Bollywood movies though. Lol. They are just annoying. You should learn Telugu or Kannadam if you can. That’s the gateway to all these forms of music.
@@TabeerAli pls Ghazals are not the same. The discussion is about something different here. You can promote your videos on a different discussion.
Yes... You can watch the performance of dancer shobana or sharada nrthiyalaya students......
I absolutely adore Indian music simply because of the gamakas. It's just so beautiful how fluid the notes feel.
I will probably never sing indian music but I watch this video at least once a week because her voice is so enchanting
I'm so glad I can put a name to this unique and beautiful technique. Indian vocals are the most mesmerising things. 💕

It is nice to know the name of the sound that always get my attention in classic indian songs.
Indian music is definitely different from the rest of the world. Now I know what gives it that beautiful traditional melodic sound.
Your voice is so cool.And,when u sing ,it sounds divine!
p g true
It’s pre recorded but still good
No. It's not. She sang it live ...
One of the most clear and beautiful voices I've ever heard! As an American I've always loved Carnatic music and the singing style. I've never seen the technique of Carnatic vocals and embellishments explained. In America they call this "runs." Thank you for sharing. 💖
As an American, I absolutely love learning all about this. Very interesting to know about Indian music theory and singing styles like this. Amazing video :)
On today's episode of 'why did youtube recommended this'
😂😂
Martin Ng 😂
np I’m not Indian but I’m glad RUclips recommended this to me. It’s so cool. Im Jewish though and it reminds me of the singing I had to learn to read from the Torah for my bar mitzvah. 😊
i always thought those vibrations and gamakas were autotune added into the vocals, but it's not and it's even more impressive to think about!!
Excellent video! I have wondered about the unique style of Indian singing and now I know. The more I learn about the culture of India and its people the more and more impressed I become. Warm regards from the U.S.A.!
That first time she adds a gamaka it's like straight up Bollywood. I've never had it broken down and explained so well. Very interesting.
No south indian
Bollywood is persian version

This is random Korean passing by; coincidentally I went to school in India and always wondered the type of Indian music, then this showed up on my recommended. You sound like string instrument and I love it. Bless the RUclips algorithm!
I've always been so curious as to how Indian music sounds so beautiful. I'm very happy I've found this video.
This came up on recommendation and I am so glad it did. I always have love traditional Indian music. It's beautiful.
Wow this is pretty similar to singing in Serbian folk music. Cool to see us connected through music. 🥰
Ummm.....might be because we share the same roots. The serbians and indians share the same indo-aryan and indo-european linguistic, culture and belief system, i suppose
I'm Indonesian, and we have a similiar things like gamaka, and some of them are so extremly complex. You can found it in "cianjuran". It is a classical Sundanese music from West Java.
java is heavily influenced by India. that might be the reason.
Thank you! Mildly obsessed with Sudanese music as well 😍
