 You and me, all of us together. I'm so juicy. Don't mind me laughing at you. And today, we're reacting to, say this name for me please Rick. Rod Barabi. Rod Barabi. Rod Barabi. Don't you think that's us? I think so dad. And it's a video, it's the bar. The barge? The bar, first of all, a couple of singers we've reacted to. This one is a sitar and tabla, I don't know. Tabla? Yes, which is a very super cool thing. We were first introduced to that with Desharn. Yes, we were. But this has been highly requested in those videos that we reacted to. You'll recognize this setup when I press play. This is going to transport me to another realm, I can tell already because I remember. Welcome to London South Bank, and the largest Indian classical music event in Europe. This is Siam's exclusive coverage of the 9th annual The Bar Festival. It's an annual festival, we should go. I think it's in London. I don't know, we should go. What is this? This is, he freaking rocked it. It doesn't even look like he's actually doing it. No, it doesn't look like digits and doing the different things. My guess is it's probably one of the most gentle and sensitive and nuanced percussion instruments, if not the most nuanced and sensitive. I hear that, or just... Right, which I don't think that's the case. But man, that took me, the journey that took me on was just, I was out in the desert and a tent with torches and that was sexy. That was sexy. That was just, and I could have easily just let that go for another series. That could have been 45 minutes just that. I'm pretty sure that festival is, like it's just musicians. That moment with the harmonics. Because there's stuff you can do with a guitar, that we know, a western guitar, where there's certain places on the frets that you can, in fact, people will tune their guitar that way and make sure that it's in tune by hitting the harmonics above that ring out. And he did that and played with that. But the other cool thing about the sitar is the fact that, I don't know how many strings it has, but it has strings that are specifically for the melodic soloing and then the underneath, that's basically the chord. The sustaining thing that he repeatedly will go back with his finger and strum and then use his finger to get to the other soloing strings and then he'll go dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Crazy mastery. Musical mastery. Love this. Let us know other, like if there's different masters of their instrument, whether it's singing, sitar, the thousands other instruments. That are amazing. Yeah it also makes me realize is my favorite band of all time is the Beatles and obviously knowing the Beatles when they went to India completely changed their lives and changed their their musicality and it opened them up interestingly from their stereotypical rock and roll Western music to a completely whole other world of sound composition and they changed Western rock and roll music. By Sergeant Pepper was the first film of the first film was the first album that was a concept album where it was the entire album was a singular piece of artistry that was Sergeant Pepper and that's what's so beautiful about Eastern music from India is because there's so many notes in between that we don't have in Western music that's tuned to A440 it's just we don't touch those notes our instruments don't do it the sit-tart doesn't yeah A440 I've talked about this before A440 it's the it's the vibrations per second for the note of A if you go to an orchestra and they tune to Western music if it's classic yeah everybody tunes they're tuning to that A and it's called A440 because that has 440 vibrations in a second of if you break that down Eastern music isn't tuned that way or written that way there's the notes in between the notes which is a mathematical beauty of you've got the harmonic series that happens in the circle of fifths but in between those like on a piano I've talked about this before there's 88 keys on a piano but in between those half notes from a C to a C sharp there's a lot going on that you can bend yeah that you can't bend on a piano but you can't on a guitar but most Western music doesn't do that yeah this does and it takes you to places that you don't go anywhere else ones that do or the masters like a Carlos Santana does it a lot he does a very Spanish style yes but then obviously Eric Clapton the blues the blues again referencing the blues the blues takes you in there like BB King he touches you got to see BB King live wow you did yeah he was on a boat that my dad was captain wow that must have been I talked to you talked to BB King crazy that's freaking awesome yeah it was crazy well I didn't obviously I was like six to eight years old so I remember it can't I couldn't appreciate well sure of course not right it was meeting a legend right right and I would if this is a yearly thing in some way shape or form I'd love to find out when it happens and go if it's a celebration of Indian music are you kidding yeah that'd be awesome
