Konnakol lesson 3 "Da-Di-Ge-Na-Do"

[jesser101090]

Hi, very useful video. Any particular reason why you prefer Da Di Ge Nah Do to Da Di Gi Nah Dum? I've been working with Konnakol mainly with the Gateway to Rhythm DVD (John McLaughlin and Selvaganesh Vinayakram) and that is the five beat syllable mainly used on there

[StringsOfAndersen]

Selvaganesh learned "Da Di Gi Nah Dum" from his father the great Vikku, just like his brother Mahesh, whom I have worked with. (check out our "Konnakol Conversation")

I learned "Da Di Ge Na Do" touring and studying with Trilok Gurtu. However the amazing Pete Lockett introduced me to "Tha Di Ki Da Tom" ETC..

I did a lot of research before writing my 3 books on Konnakol : "Shortcut To Nirvana"

and there´s a lot of dialects/ names of "Khanda Jati" = a unit of "5"

Its different but the same thing

Hi Henrik, Tha dhi gi na thom is really flexible. An alternative, if you're counting 8th notes you can throw in a 16th like: Tha ki ta kita thom. I use this for playing 5's with my right hand (3 finger technique) on bass. 3-2-1-32-1

[StringsOfAndersen]

@FunkMan53 - That is classic :)

[StringsOfAndersen]

With 4 pr beat.... count to seven 5 times, then to six 5 times, etc...

By the way : Seven is grouped in 2 + 2 + 3 = Da - Aa - Aaa

Really enjoyed this. I couldn't get the 7 beats per syllable part / 5 x 7, 5 x 6, 5 x 5 etc. part. I'm assuming "Da" is one syllable but can't see how it translates into 7 beats per syllable here: Da ah ah -Di i ih -Ge e eh -Na a ah -Do o oh?

Thanks

Another very helpful video... Where was your workshop that you show at the end?

[StringsOfAndersen]

@musicgoodmusicgood , The workshop took place in Herning, Denmark, last year. with members from "Ensemble Midt Vest" mainly classical musicians. It was a public event at "HEART museum of modern art" Where I also did a workshop with children

[bajerovaquero]

Is this composition a Korvai?

[StringsOfAndersen]

@bajerovaquero - No - Its just a riff from one of my Corvais

[flamaniacs]

Dejligt oplysende, virkeligt anvendeligt både didaktisk og praktisk:-)))

[StringsOfAndersen]

@flamaniacs - Tak :-)  Der er - til oplysning - 2 videoer mere på min YOUTUBE : En med introduktion til KONNAKOL og én med Konnakol triks og rytme formler

[StringsOfAndersen]

well , one can experiment a lot of different mindsets, having a long therm relation with music based on practising hours a day.

Anyone will talk the talk, surpricingly few will walk the walk :)

I find KONNAKOL constant inspiring, it makes me a much better musician

If I was to learn Indian music I would need 40 years... I dont do that, I am full of music by nature, I got what I need in life, I just share because its great fun

[alienaline]

If you´ve learned indian music you must know that "you" have to be absent to let the music be... Then inspiration can come through you to us... ;)

[StringsOfAndersen]

Thanks a lot <3 I guess that you are familiar with my 3 books "Shortcut To Nirvana" - they come without a CD! - It would be great to release the books with a CD or even a Video.. I would love to make one, but I dont know any companies interested :( "Da-Di-Ge-Na-Do" can be :

"Tha-Di-Ki-Da-Thum" or

"Tha-Dhin-Ge-Na-tom"

I have heard a lot of variations, it a living thing

[Wyga23]

@StringsOfAndersen You have been inspiring me for a long time, so what about books with cd? Or video? Btw is it da di gi na do or da di gi na dum? Salvagenesh says dum at the end.
