Awesome. Mind if i sample this?

[cashberg]

@Tasbo1982 Not up to me.

Not tring to be rude. Its more than beat boxing or scat singing. Its rythimic carnatic classical music. It takes years of practice and discpline to achieve this.

@punkkiranpunk I only wrote that to help people find it who might not know the term konnakol.

yeah my friend had to studying world music at the UofM told me that before playing a song on the drums they have to be able to sing the parts, that way they know exactly what to play, it's like memorizing sheet music almost

[Lanakikuta]

I've never heard something like this before, interesting

[Lefty70]

Is it safe to call this complicated scat singing? Does Konnakol mostly happen in groups of 2 or more? There is something Jazz like to it, is it improvised?
