In the beginning when Zakir Hussain says "It's a Chinese piece called Tuning", he is joking Efra, they're not playing anything Chinese. Zakir Hussain has a great sense of humor. They're playing a "Dhun" more akin to a folk tune very typical of Bansuri (flute), this is not any Raag either, it's a light, playful folk tune. Also, the time signature (taal) is a mix between Keherwa (8 beat cycle) and Dadra (6 beat cycle).
Ustad Zakir Hussain ji was simply joking in the beginning when he said "First we'll play a Chinese piece .. it's called Tu Ning (aka tuning the tabla)" 😅 The piece they played was 100% Indian

@Efra: Calling the ‘ba’ansuree’ a flute is absolutely fine. Zakir Hussain is the senior artiste here; hence, the respect shown by Rakesh Chaurasia at the end of the performance should not surprise. The Indian Classical Music world is very hierarchical. And seniority is not taken lightly, even if merit has brought you more fame and fortune. Zakir has played with Rakesh’s father, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, for decades and is obliged to see the younger Chaurasia as a son figure. So, it is perfectly natural for Rakesh to stretch his reciprocity and touch Zakir’s feet.

There are 4 stages of any classical music performance. Stage 1: Aalap(means aquaintance/introduction) where there is no beat, just get introduced to the raga/tune. Stage2: Jord. Where the beats/rhythm comes in. Stage 3: Jhaala where the rhythm gets faster and more challenging. Stage4: Gat. Where there are dialogues between the instruments. Conversation between them, challenging each other and end with a blast.
@amanjha0211ok can youqoute where specifically All the Ragas are mentioned in Samaveda. Don't make loose claims about a rich craft which beautiful humans which inhabited this Indian subcontinent into a God made thing.

Welcome to the world of Indian Classical singing and Musical Instrument s... 😀😀😀!!!! Indian scriptures - Vedas are more than 5000years old and they are the source and knowledge of all music In India 😀..
Most of brat Indian young like me take classical music for granted as right from when I was a kid I heard alot of these type of songs in TV and I was like okay.. it's just common everybody in India does it , no suprises, so I never really appreciated the art of classical music. But as I see how people from other countries get shocked by the complexity it brings and how difficult it is for them, now I appreciate it from a first time listener pov.
I have seen these two live in Cape Town on two occasions and they are simply amazing. Rakesh's uncle, Hariprasad Chaurisia was the king of the Bansuri Flute.
When I listened to this composition for the first time I felt the flute is singing a song. The every note played is so detailed. I was completely overwhelmed by this particular piece. :)
INDIAN FLUTE IS MORE THAN 6000 YEARS OLD & ASSOCIATED WITH LORD KRISHNA... IT IS BEAUTIFUL SOME PIECES PLAYED ON FLUTE WILL BLOW UR MINDS ❤️🎉🎉🎉🇮🇳 THEY ARE SPIRITUAL TOOLS ACTUALLY THE INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC IS RELATED TO VEDA & MUSIC.
Bansuri(flute) usually represents morning or start of the day(happy and poetic breeze), very rarely early evening (we called it as memory lane evening, english doesn't have a word for it) This piece is depicting a morning environment n day-to-day life going around at that time
I think you mistook Zakir Hussain's comedic sequitur literally :). He was joking about the Chinese piece "the small hammer" as tuning a.k.a Tu Ning, which sounds like a Chinese name. The musical piece is NOT Chinese!!
Indian classical music is supposed to lift u spiritually hence the ragas. Our ancestors realised certain combination of notes lift can make a spiritual connection at certain time of the day or season or mood. So u have a set of different notes which is given a name (name of raga). U have different ragas for emotions like love, remorse, anger, sadness, celebration, courage etc . There are certain ragas for dawn, morning,afternoon, evening n midnight. The morning raga gives a fresh happy feel on hearing it...the night ragas make u calm n sleepy. Etc. You have ragas for seasons. If u hear those ragas they awaken the corresponding feeling. For eg. Megh malhar is raga of monsoon or rain. A story goes that once Tansen the courtesan singer of Emperor Akbar had developed severe heat in the body due to which he was very ill. No medicines worked. Finally his daughter a music maestro herself sang Megh Malhar to him to cool his body. Such is the spiritual effect on mind n body of ragas sung by classical maestros.
Beautiful rendering. Flute (Baansuri) is one of the oldest instruments discovered by mankind and directly connects the soul to nature as it is one of the most natural sounds made by wind passing through bamboo and it Conveys all emotions perfectly. Tabla and flute are made for each other in Indian music
I have had the privilege to attend couple of concerts featuring the Master of Tabla, Ustadji. They were completely different settings, one a Tabla solo concert, the other as part of his fusion band Remember Shakti. His persona on stage, the mastery of the craft, and his charisma is just off the charts.
Pursuing Indian classical music is inheriting not only a craft but also the culture, which beliefs in sadhana(learning & seeking). and the Indian value system, which teaches humility and respect for others.
Pandit. Chaurasia (rest in peace, and the father of Rakesh Chaurasia) is a legendary flutist and is a guru in this genre. If you have the chance, be sure to check out his works. It's probably no surprise that his son has followed in his footstep. ...
Zakir Hussain (the tabla player) in the beginning said "Here's a Chinese piece called tuning!"... it was a joke. There was no Chinese piece in the whole performance.
You must react to Krishna's enchanting flute. you'll love it. It is about a young boy Krishna (God) who plays the flute and the whole village gets mesmerized by the sound of that flute. In this, Legendary Rakesh Chaurasia sir has played the flute. In an interview he said that it is an honor for him to be the sound of Lord Krishna's flute and added that it is not even a pinch of the sweet sound that Lord Krishna used to produce with his flute.
These instruments require years of training and learning. Not everyone can use them with such high accuracy and brilliance. Indian classic music is proved to be the most soothing, senses refreshing, mind relaxing having medical benefits as well.
This composition is initially set in Dadra (6 beats). So the Western idea of "time signature" doesn't really apply here. The taala - the number of beats in the cycle - is more important. So It's 6 beats set in a 3-3 rhythm, and then the ending becomes an 8 beat cycle AKA what you'd traditionally call a double time 4/4.
Indian flute is called "bansuri". Even lord krishna has a bansuri that mesmerised people when heard by. It's part and parcel of most of indian traditional music culture.
Love the fact that you guys are so articulate and bring technical aspects of music along with an ability to discuss concepts and philosophies......bravo to you and hearing you is fun.
Guys u understand music and hence ur analysis is superb. Indian soothing insteuments give peace and solace to people who are under constant pressure in their field of work. Stress level comes down drastically
Flute come from Lord Krishna Himself ..Indian Flute , Bansuri has came from Lord of the universe Himself Tabla you all know the backbone of Indian classical music
Honestly. I have grown up listening to classical music. Got so use to this that could never really listen to it the way you guys do. I had taken this rich art so much for granted but I really thank you guys for really making me learn how to really experience such beautiful art form by tuning in listening wise. Now I have learned to appreciate this. So thankyou so much.
I really like your reactions. You must react to any of the following songs, you will really feel amazed. 1. Aao balma by A.R Rahman of coke studio. 2. Noor E Khuda from movie My Name is Khan. 3. Ladki by Sachin Jigar, of coke studio. 4. Garaj Garaj Jugalbandi from Bandish Bandits series. 5. Taj Mahal Tea presents E-baithak by Madhuri Dixit and Niladri Kumar 6. O rangrez from movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
Waleska & Efra, I really loved your comments on this piece. Like any other country India also has rich folk music. You can explore more. There are so many indigenous musical instruments all over India that it might take while to cover most of them. Thank you and keep going.
This Bansuri(flute) has a special place in a typical Indian person's mind. Because of how it invokes feelings of nature and it's the instrument that was played by Lord Krishna, one of India's most beloved gods.
The Music is originated from India thiusands years ago... Lord Shiva is the Father of Music and Dance💃 respectively..... Indian Civization is the OLDEST ONE..... NO ONE CAN MATCH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC THAT IS THE BASE OF ALL MUSIC IN THE WORLD....
ERFA...i really wanna make a request 2 u..plz try to reach out to ZAKIR HUSSAIN to do a podcast with u...i m sure he would positively respond...he did one with another reaction channel called "our stupid reaction"..... i m sure he will be able to satisfy u with answers 2 all ur queries regarding percussions used in india...he is living legend....will be nice experience ig...plz plz
Also check out zakir husain's tabla with Shivkumar sharma's santoor sadly pandit Shivkumar sharma passed away last week it would be a great tribute to him.
I recommend you to listen to the legendary 'shakti band'. Every member is an legend. Dr. Zakir Hussain is a part of the band too. The group leader is a legendary bassist. Shankar mahadevan(singer of brethless) also linked to them and collaborated many times.
these two instrument have worked together for several thousands of years...along with Sitar and many others indian native classical instruments...the west is only discovering now thanks to you guys. Flute is as old as Lord krishna since it was he is favorite instrument.
This is such a frolicking tune so gracefully played by this great duo. Indian classical music is a gold and diamond mine and and there are plenty more of gems to explore.😀😀
I had the privilege of meeting pandit ji hariprasad chaurasia and Allah Rakha ji in pune . And it is still the most cherished moment of my time on this planet.
Zakir was part of the world music festivals for many decades, playing at multiple world venues, and has led many world music bands like Tabla Beat Science, Planet Drum, etc.
What you're seeing is years and lakhs of hours of devotion to the art. Both these persons are maestros in their field. Also, what they are doing is 100% on the spot improvisation, no practice. They are called Ustad (highest title awarded to the masters). Touching the feet is regarded as form of respect for the elders in Indian culture
We’ll guys you could look at some of the prominent Indian Classical based musicians in UK - - Roopa Panesar - Sitar - Pete Lockett - Tabla, Kanjira, Dholak, Mridungam, Pakhawaj….etc. - Sanju Sahai - Tabla… a work class Tabla Maestro who also teaches at SOAS London University - Talvin Singh - Tabla Maestro - Ken Zuckerman - Sarod… he, I guess is based out of Switzerland - Anushka Shankar - Sitar… daughter of legendary Sitar Maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar and sister of famous Jazz singer Norah Jones……and much more
All Indian musical instruments as u said it can replicate natures sound … flute reminds of you , close your eyes and imagine yourself in green forest , flute will take you to the forest with calmness and butterflies flying around and a stream flowing … it’s the most closest that I found to a forest or an open field with wind blowing
You are most welcome in India as both of you wish to be witnessed Classical music functions, festivals etc. It will really open up the door of another world of Music in front of you which are largely unknown to the wests common music lover people. Indian classical musics are for heart soul not for mind only. It can heal up even illness.

There is no 'piece' in classical music, every time they play it, its unique. The musicians don't really practise together when before their performance.
Flute is shown to us since lord Krishna who used to play flute...it is said that when he used to play flute near the cows,, the cows used to start releasing milk. So flute as an instrument is in India since over 1500 BC. Goddess Saraswati is shown with Instrument Veena. LORD SHIVA with Damru.

INDIA 🇮🇳IS THE OLDEST CIVILIZATION AND THE LAND FROM WHERE MUSIC IS BORN AND FLOURISHED, NURTURED.... AND THE SPREAD OVER THE WORLD.... RECITING, SINGING AND DANCING💃
It is result of years of tireless practice and knowledge gained from Teachers.It is always a great tradition of indian culture to pay respect of senior by touching their feet.
Hi Efra. Nice to see Europeans taking interest in Indian classical music. It is said in the Indian scriptures that God himself gave music to manking to enjoy and participate. All Raag's or basic compositions, were made and perfected by maestros thousands of years back. These compositions were played in temples and later in the king's courtrooms. Thanking the lord, the creator was and is the only reason for playing classical music. That is why you feel the devine connection. Please also see the great masters of recent times for vocal music, like Pandit Jasraj or Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. The young masters like Kaushiki are also exceptional.
Spot on with exploring where scales can take you with instruments. The beauty of Indian music is, it is an exploration of voice as the instrument. Human voice comes close, but in that battle, instruments (for example, the Bansuri Flute here) would always win. A musician’s voice can come close but can’t surpass the instrument’s agility and dexterity, besides the range it can cover.
One thing I can assure is that Every Indian more specifically every Hindu would have a soft side towards flute (Bansuri). Sentiments attached to it. Its divine and soulful at its best. Because Lord Krishna holds and plays Bansuri 🥺❤️😍🥹.
In the beginning when Zakir Hussain says "It's a Chinese piece called Tuning", he is joking Efra, they're not playing anything Chinese. Zakir Hussain has a great sense of humor. They're playing a "Dhun" more akin to a folk tune very typical of Bansuri (flute), this is not any Raag either, it's a light, playful folk tune. Also, the time signature (taal) is a mix between Keherwa (8 beat cycle) and Dadra (6 beat cycle).
Thanx for explaining. Good job 💪❣🇮🇳
Obviously ❤️
I'm so proud of you brother! I loved that you are connected to your culture. Stay rooted always! 🇮🇳🇮🇳

In an interview he said that it is an honor for him to be the sound of Lord Krishna's flute and added that it is not even a pinch of the sweet sound that Lord Krishna used to produce with his flute.

These instruments require years of training and learning. Not everyone can use them with such high accuracy and brilliance. Indian classic music is proved to be the most soothing, senses refreshing, mind relaxing having medical benefits as well.
Lord krishna Used to play flute 6 thousand years ago
Much respect to you guys. The way you are getting the brilliancy and intricacy of the music is very impressive!
This composition is initially set in Dadra (6 beats). So the Western idea of "time signature" doesn't really apply here. The taala - the number of beats in the cycle - is more important. So It's 6 beats set in a 3-3 rhythm, and then the ending becomes an 8 beat cycle AKA what you'd traditionally call a double time 4/4.
Thank you! I requested this! I am sure others have too.
Indian flute is called "bansuri". Even lord krishna has a bansuri that mesmerised people when heard by. It's part and parcel of most of indian traditional music culture.
Love the fact that you guys are so articulate and bring technical aspects of music along with an ability to discuss concepts and philosophies......bravo to you and hearing you is fun.
Guys u understand music and hence ur analysis is superb. Indian soothing insteuments give peace and solace to people who are under constant pressure in their field of work. Stress level comes down drastically
Flute come from Lord Krishna Himself ..Indian Flute , Bansuri has came from Lord of the universe Himself
Tabla you all know the backbone of Indian classical music
Honestly. I have grown up listening to classical music. Got so use to this that could never really listen to it the way you guys do. I had taken this rich art so much for granted but I really thank you guys for really making me learn how to really experience such beautiful art form by tuning in listening wise. Now I have learned to appreciate this. So thankyou so much.
I really like your reactions. You must react to any of the following songs, you will really feel amazed.
1. Aao balma by A.R Rahman of coke studio.
2. Noor E Khuda from movie My Name is Khan.
3. Ladki by Sachin Jigar, of coke studio.

5. Taj Mahal Tea presents E-baithak by Madhuri Dixit and Niladri Kumar
6. O rangrez from movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
Waleska & Efra, I really loved your comments on this piece. Like any other country India also has rich folk music. You can explore more. There are so many indigenous musical instruments all over India that it might take while to cover most of them.
Thank you and keep going.
This Bansuri(flute) has a special place in a typical Indian person's mind. Because of how it invokes feelings of nature and it's the instrument that was played by Lord Krishna, one of India's most beloved gods.
Loved Waleska's facial expressions in this reaction. The bhansuri always goes straight to the heart.
Indian classical music is like meditation to us !!
It pierces your soul !!
This is the true magic of Indian classical music🙏 hope you to react on more of such Jugalbandis
Zakir sarcastically said he is going to play a Chinese piece called tuning. Implying Chinese music sounds like tuning.😂
The Music is originated from India thiusands years ago... Lord Shiva is the Father of Music and Dance💃 respectively..... Indian Civization is the OLDEST ONE.....
NO ONE CAN MATCH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC THAT IS THE BASE OF ALL MUSIC IN THE WORLD....

I recommend you to listen to the legendary 'shakti band'. Every member is an legend. Dr. Zakir Hussain is a part of the band too. The group leader is a legendary bassist. Shankar mahadevan(singer of brethless) also linked to them and collaborated many times.
these two instrument have worked together for several thousands of years...along with Sitar and many others indian native classical instruments...the west is only discovering now thanks to you guys. Flute is as old as Lord krishna since it was he is favorite instrument.

Please listen to this master piece.
Yes please
This is such a frolicking tune so gracefully played by this great duo. Indian classical music is a gold and diamond mine and and there are plenty more of gems to explore.😀😀
This piece they played was completely an Indian piece. He was "Tuning" the Tabla so he jokingly said it was a Chinese piece because "Tu Ning" 💀😂
I had the privilege of meeting pandit ji hariprasad chaurasia and Allah Rakha ji in pune . And it is still the most cherished moment of my time on this planet.
Zakir was part of the world music festivals for many decades, playing at multiple world venues, and has led many world music bands like Tabla Beat Science, Planet Drum, etc.
Waiting for Anushka shaker's (sitar player) VOICE of the MOON she is daughter of Ravi Shankar 😍
Bansuri is so soothing instrument
What you're seeing is years and lakhs of hours of devotion to the art. Both these persons are maestros in their field. Also, what they are doing is 100% on the spot improvisation, no practice. They are called Ustad (highest title awarded to the masters). Touching the feet is regarded as form of respect for the elders in Indian culture
I love this lady and her facial expressions. I love you lady.
We’ll guys you could look at some of the prominent Indian Classical based musicians in UK -
- Roopa Panesar - Sitar
- Pete Lockett - Tabla, Kanjira, Dholak, Mridungam, Pakhawaj….etc.
- Sanju Sahai - Tabla… a work class Tabla Maestro who also teaches at SOAS London University
- Talvin Singh - Tabla Maestro
- Ken Zuckerman - Sarod… he, I guess is based out of Switzerland
- Anushka Shankar - Sitar… daughter of legendary Sitar Maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar and sister of famous Jazz singer Norah Jones……and much more
Deepak is nephew of legend Hari prasad chauarsia ... his performance qith zakir khan was awsome too
you are listening to 2 great Legendary Master giants in Indian music, they are incomparable
All Indian musical instruments as u said it can replicate natures sound … flute reminds of you , close your eyes and imagine yourself in green forest , flute will take you to the forest with calmness and butterflies flying around and a stream flowing … it’s the most closest that I found to a forest or an open field with wind blowing
The flute is called "bansoori"
You are most welcome in India as both of you wish to be witnessed Classical music functions, festivals etc. It will really open up the door of another world of Music in front of you which are largely unknown to the wests common music lover people. Indian classical musics are for heart soul not for mind only. It can heal up even illness.

If you want more flute covers to react to, you can watch Krishna theme/flute cover by Lakhinandan Lahon
2:51 that's tanpura in background
There is no 'piece' in classical music, every time they play it, its unique. The musicians don't really practise together when before their performance.
Flute is shown to us since lord Krishna who used to play flute...it is said that when he used to play flute near the cows,, the cows used to start releasing milk. So flute as an instrument is in India since over 1500 BC. Goddess Saraswati is shown with Instrument Veena. LORD SHIVA with Damru.

INDIA 🇮🇳IS THE OLDEST CIVILIZATION AND THE LAND FROM WHERE MUSIC IS BORN AND FLOURISHED, NURTURED.... AND THE SPREAD OVER THE WORLD.... RECITING, SINGING AND DANCING💃
This flute is called "Bansuri" in india.
It is result of years of tireless practice and knowledge gained from Teachers.It is always a great tradition of indian culture to pay respect of senior by touching their feet.
Proud to be an Indian ☺️
Hi Efra.
Nice to see Europeans taking interest in Indian classical music.
It is said in the Indian scriptures that God himself gave music to manking to enjoy and participate.
All Raag's or basic compositions, were made and perfected by maestros thousands of years back. These compositions were played in temples and later in the king's courtrooms.
Thanking the lord, the creator was and is the only reason for playing classical music.
That is why you feel the devine connection.
Please also see the great masters of recent times for vocal music, like Pandit Jasraj or Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. The young masters like Kaushiki are also exceptional.
This was surely an Indian song/melody..
Spot on with exploring where scales can take you with instruments. The beauty of Indian music is, it is an exploration of voice as the instrument. Human voice comes close, but in that battle, instruments (for example, the Bansuri Flute here) would always win. A musician’s voice can come close but can’t surpass the instrument’s agility and dexterity, besides the range it can cover.
One thing I can assure is that Every Indian more specifically every Hindu would have a soft side towards flute (Bansuri). Sentiments attached to it. Its divine and soulful at its best. Because Lord Krishna holds and plays Bansuri 🥺❤️😍🥹.
