All the love to India from Colombia
Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad to see there is a larger relevance to this art form.
Otro colombiano por aquí que también ama el Konnakol. Es fascinante.
a trick: watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Otto Duke Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
@Otto Duke Definitely, I have been using flixzone for since november myself :D
When it ended, I wanted to applaud. But clapping in 4/4 would have felt like an insult after that master class in rhythm!
I agree funny reference.
nice one
this shit is in 4/4 look at their hands
@@2Chillyd it's not, look closer. one clap is half as long as the other three.
"4/4"
As a drummer and a meshuggah fan, this is FUCKING AMAZING. The rhythm understanding required to do this cleanly is EXPERT. Not to mention the tongue speed.
@Leo "kinesen" är en tönt have you considered the possibility of you not getting it
@Leo "kinesen" är en tönt have you considered the fact that you might be unfamiliar with the culture and their art forms
lol yeah this could be jdent
Same over here. Aaaannnnnd..Agreed
This music up here isnt exactly my cup of tea but DAMN the timing is sick. Also a Meshuggah fan here lol
This is part of the classical music education in India. Many people think it's kind of ethnic, or exotic, or world music, but *for the Indians it's classical music :-)*
It's very nice that the we have a classical music of India, that is very different from the classical music of Europe. It's a good example for how interesting our world can be, if we allow it to be interesting.
I think it's really cool! I'm curious, do you know what they're saying/what this song is about?
Chris Rafinski i may be confusing this with another type of indian classical music, but syllables they’re saying are like rhythmic solfège. where the syllables do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti represent the degrees of the ionian scale, the syllables they’re saying represent different rhythmic pieces of the beat they’re saying
Teddy Filkin mmhmmm. That i can understand. But doesn't the middle section sound like they're actually saying something? It doesn't sound like rhythmic syllables all the way through.
I noticed that too Chris. It sounded like a departure from the Konnakkol language.
Chris Rafinski from 0.50 to 1.17 and 1.31 to 1.39 are short prayers from 2 different Indian languages. First one is paying respects to the ultimate Lord and second is for paying respects to the GURU or the master. Rest is all Konnokkol as you know. It’s amazing to see how they have put those hymns to rhythmic syllables.
*Drummers out there* : lets talk about odd rhythms and metric modulation
*she* : hold my fruit juice
"hold my chai"
Ahahahahha
Yes😂😂😂
@@frzferdinand72 Actually where she's from, (southern India), she would say "hold my filter coffee" 😂
why fruit juice?
Found this because of Andre Antunes, but experiencing this is such a privilege. Proud of my Indian culture.
Check out Artificial Fear cover.
Very underrated and much longer than AA.
Although I appreciate what Andre has done for Indian and Pakistani ethnic rhythms, in thie case Artificial Fear is the OG!❤😂
Same
In case people are not noticing, she is actually maintaining two rythms (thaalam) on her two hands. Simply amazing coordination.
It’s not the whole time but yeah I noticed. To use western ideas, her left hand is a 7/8 pattern and her right hand is a 7/4 pattern, so after two of the left-hand patterns they sync up and it repeats. Which would take some practice to do BY ITSELF, let alone while doing the vocal pyrotechnics that, from what I can tell don’t follow any kind of 7-beat pattern and are just kind of their own thing.
@@mingnrich thank you for explaining that.
For her its likely something that is a count of 14 or 16 or something that would make most western musicians go: are you kidding me? I've read there's even beats that go much higher. So, its counting 1 to 14, not 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 like we're used to. And, then the emphasized beats are not every third or 1st or something. It might be 1st 2 3 4 5th 6 7th 8 9 10 or something that's ..... well .... its a whole new vocabulary.
🤯 wow, ok, thanks. Mind officially blown.
How about the guys, He's not?
Beat boxing: kindergarten arithmetic. Konnakol: quantum physics.
You haven’t seen very good beatboxing if you think that’s true haha. What they’re doing is hard because of the speed and rolling of the r’s although I suspect people who speak languages with rolled r’s would have an easier time than us. The sounds themselves aren’t hard are Beatboxers are making two or three sounds all at once and they’re usually sounds that most people could make one at a time.
@ Shabazz It is not just the words, but the entire mathematical structure of the art form called Konnakol. According to many experienced people, knowledge of Konnakol even supports the playing of musical instruments like a guitar. Also, just so you know, as per even the most conservative accounts, Konnakol is atleast 2000 years old.
@@DipayanPyne94 Why does its age matter? It seems to me that this person is talking about the difficulty level.
If they were being literal about the mathematical aspect of it it wouldn’t make since to exaggerate it and say it uses quantum physics.
@@ShabazzTBL I didn't write my previous comment to you keeping the original comment in mind. The original comment is ill-informed, to be very frank. Calling Beatboxing Kindergarten stuff is ridiculous. I just wrote my comment to let you know that Konnakol is not hard just because of the reason that you gave (although I know that u didn't say that that is the only reason). Rolling of R's is completely irrelevant here. If an American learns Konnakol and doesn't get the pronunciation right because of his/her accent, fine. It would sound a bit wrong, but the pronunciation is not really that important. It's the entire theoretical framework of Konnakol (which happens to be atleast 2000 years old) that matters. Konnakol is a part of South Indian Classical Music. Classical Music, from any part of the world, is of primary significance, because it's often very vast and teaches people the basics in a very systematic fashion. By that, I don't mean that Beatboxing is not systematic, lol, but you get my point. Learning Konnakol greatly improves the knowledge of rhythms, in general, and even assists melodic instrumentalists in many ways. Even John McLaughlin, who has teamed up with many Indian Classical Musicians till date, would say that. It's a long story.
@@DipayanPyne94 yeah I was only speaking about making the sounds since I don’t know anything about the music. I believe your description of it.

SAME! I was inspired from second 0:12 but this ~~~
For those that don't know what we are wowing about, those two just performed 9 evenly spaced beats in a 4-beat duration. A 4:9 polyrhythm, to be exact.
Just think about how you would evenly space the beats. Difficult, right?

Honestly I can't explain how this blows me away. The rhythm structure is far beyond what you usually hear in western styles, it's at God level, and I asume they are actually saying many things. The fact they're keeping 3 rhythms with their hands and singing that fast... Just leave me speechless every time. This is one of the most beautiful classical music I've ever heard
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.
Well Andre Antunes got his hands all over this masterpiece and create another one.
I sent it to him last November. He did a great job! It's very hard to keep up with something so amazing like this.
Yes he did😂❤

I assumed this was improv until they started going in unison. astonishing
This is improv. But since there's always a mathematical calculation they naturally come to one end phrase which is called mukthayi because that's the only way it's going to be divisible with the number they've chosen for the whole improv.
@@YaminiKalluri98. wot? that's insane
@@narwhal5447 yup! 🙈
@SinisterMinister there can be several mukthayis for different cycles. But by the flow of it they naturally come to an understanding which mukthayi it is. Mukthayis are also made up. This is all a mathematical calculation but after years of practice I feel they go by instinct than logic and still these great artists end up accurate.
That is absolutely mind bending. I just cannot even. Insanely cool.
The drummer in my head is still trying to process this. This is unbelievable.

In all seriousness, this is amazing.

Vocal djent
Much more advanced than any djent I've heard so far.
I was in a drum line high school and this sounds similar to what we would say to each other to describe the drumming phrases when we didn't have our drums. This was a lot cooler, though.
Stuyboyz I feel you bro
Good ol' drumspeak...you should've heard Tom Float doing it back when I was in BD.
@MrMozoak you are right. It is called Konnakkol in this style of music for the percussion instrument Mridangam. In the Hindustani (North Indian) classical music, it is for Tabla or Pakkawaj instruments.
u couldve just learned beeatboxing u wouldnt need ur drums if u master it just listen to adam rupp
Lol “where are we starting from” “from the cha chiggadum chiggadum buggada buggada buggada”
I am a drummer who plays many genres, but I was trained as a jazz drummer by a teacher who also is proficient in Tablaa and Konnakol. He transcribed the Konnakol to the modern drum set, which was very hard to learn initially for how different it was. He never taught me the Konnakol, which I now regret because to me, I imagined it to feel like becoming one with any rhythm.
Meshuggah in vocal form but a few octaves higher.
ah I see you are a man of culture as well

What I love SOO much about this music is that there are huge parallels with stuff like, technical "math rock" progressive metal, or even electronic music artists like Squarepusher that we think of as being "new" music, but really there was the same level of rythmic innovation in musical forms dating back thousands of years. Surely indian classical music is the most innovative music in terms of rythm, it's world class
What blows me away, just as much as the incredible skill, is that this rhythm structure is based on the Fibonacci sequence.
India had Fibonacci sequence in ancient times

BC Manjunath.
Andre Antunes brought me here. 😄
The little song she sings and recites while she recites Konakkol is a prayer to Lord Shiva, one of the most incredible dieties in the Hindu pantheon of Gods. The prayer praises Shiva as the source of all - the mother and father of all, the source of all goodness and greatness and fount of all that is holy. "Om Tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam / Urvaarukamiva bandhanaan mrutyormuksiyamaa mrutaat".

She's keeping the 7 beat talam (not sure what that's called in Carnatic music) with her left hand. Then at 0:50 she starts keeping the talam with her right hand as well and it looks like 7 beats but half the speed of her left hand. So she's keeping two talams and reciting at the same time. What's that about? Is that a certain kind of composition? Crazy, impressive!
Pedro Alter The seven beat Talam in Carnatic music is called Mishram or Mishra Tala.
The thalam in her left hand is Mishra Chaapu (thakadhimi thakita or 4+3). She starts the trishra jaathi triputa thalam with her right hand at that point which is also 7 beats but 7 distinct beats (counting fingers or "laghu" for 3 beats and tapping the palm or 2 "dhruthas" for the next 4 beats)
I was also trying to figure out how that timing worked! Thank you for the explanations Sowmya and Bhuvana.
Right hand: 1,2,3,-4,5,-6,7 :7 beats
Left hand: 123-1,2-1,2 : 7 beats
I highly recommend feeling music at three speeds. Walk half notes, clap quarter notes and sing eight notes.
2:55 has me actually shook. Those dynamics Holy fucking shit

To anyone not familiar with this music, try to listen to the relation between the simple handclap pattern to the singing patterns, notice how the patterns constantly change alignment with the claps.
This are just the gods of polyrhythm.
She sounds like Cardi B...only with talent.

As a drummer, I was amazed! I watched and enjoyed this over and over.
At the risk of sounding stupid, is what they are doing is playing drums but with their mouths and hands only? I've never heard of konnakol until 10min ago but think it's absolutely amazing
@donnaroddy2771 I would think of it as vocal percussion
