 Dodgers won. That one, this wasn't what I was supposed to say. An insult to injury. Wasn't it a baseball season? Dodgers won the World Series. Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Interactions video. It's up here with Dodgers and Paulson Instagram. Twitter for more juicy content. It's so juicy. They're the biggest chokers in the history of baseball other than the Boston Red Sox. Well, they didn't choke this year. This wasn't a real season. My god. You want me to go off on how this was? I didn't watch one baseball game this season because it was a joke. No one cares. And today we are going to be reacting to a video of Corbin dancing naked. Types of God. This is a, I think it's the same one that explained rock that I could be wrong. I think it's types of Indian musical instruments. And it's the same. I think so. I could be wrong. Okay. Anyway, that's awesome. That's the one that explained rock. She was wonderful. You can tell me if I'm wrong. You're wrong. Yes, sir. It's her, right? Yeah. Yay. Yeah. She was such a great teacher. And so this is an Indian musical instrument. Awesome. Types of classification. Sweet. So it'll be an educated video for us so we aren't stupid or... This is fun. Here we go. Hey everybody and welcome to this episode of Indian Music Fact Files with me Anu Jakama. I have observed that when it comes to Indian classical music people are likely to attend instrumental concerts rather than vocal concerts. For this reason, I have planned to dedicate this episode of mine to the beautiful world of Indian music instruments. Well, there are many, many, many Indian music instruments and if I introduce you to each one of them I think it'll take me ages to do so. And we need to end this episode somewhere, right? So I will be introducing you all to those instruments which you are likely to come across frequently She could say. And I'm going to murder your family tonight and you'd be smiling with us. Very cool. Very well compared. Let's move on to understanding the types of Indian music instruments and their classification. A musical instrument can be classified into various types. But in case of Indian music, the most accepted classification is the one proposed by Rishi Bharat who mentions four categories of instruments. The first one being kandu vadya. These are the instruments having strings. In western music, they are called chordophones. Can you identify the sound? I've heard of it. It is the sound of attanura which is a drone instrument in Indian classical music. It is only an accompanying instrument that is, it cannot be played for a solo performance. Further, the tantu vadya can be categorized into tatavadya or nakhaj vadya meaning instruments played with the help of fingernails. Popular examples of tatavadya are instruments having frets like veena. So if you consider it as frets, it's played with the fingernails? And sitar. There are also instruments without frets like sarod. Okay, there you go. Of tantu vadya are vithat vadya or string instruments played with a bow. Popular examples of these are sarangi. And I think we've seen every one of these instruments in a Tosharlal video. And violin. Played without being plucked by the fingers, plucked by the nails or without the help of a bow. Yes indeed. Hammers. Like hammer dulcimer. It was the sound of santur which is a string instrument played by striking the strings with a spoon-shaped hammer. The second major category is that of sushel vadya or the wind instruments. In western music, they are called aerophones. This was the sound of a shank or a conch which is a natural sushir vadya. The most popular mouth-blown sushir vadya is the basuri. Without reeds, there is also the shahnai. It is a mouth-blown sushir vadya with reeds. With time, there emerged a new category of sushir vadya which used bellows to glow air mechanically to produce sound. The prime example of this is a harmonium. The third major category of instruments is avanad vadya or charmaj vadya. They are called as drums or membrophones according to western music. They contain a layer of animal skin which helps in sound production. Some avanad vadya are played by using palms and fingers. Example, karnatic instruments like bridangam tabla. The next one is somewhere in there. And khanjeera. The instruments like pakhavach played by striking the skin with sticks or hammers. For example, the tsoughada. They are called idiophones according to western music. The body of these instruments is made of a solid material like metal, clay or wood. They do not need further tuning. Most of them are used as side rhythm instruments. Prime examples of these instruments are karnatic instruments like ghatam. Morsi. It's not that instrument but it's comparable. Manjeera. Kartal. Stapelis. If you observe, you'll notice that the melodic instruments fall in the category of either dandu vadya or sushya vadya. While the rhythmic instruments fall in the category of either avanad vadya or ghanavadya. You might also ask, what about the instruments like synthesizer and electronic tanpura and tabla? Well, we could classify them into the category of electronic instruments. I'm sure if Rishi Bharat would have been present today, he would have done the same. Oh, yeah. One, now that you know about the types, the classification, the sounds of some Indian music instruments, let me tell you a quick fact. Did you know, during the ancient times, the term Veena was used to refer to all melodic instruments. The human voice too was considered a type of Veena and was called Ghatra Veena, meaning bodily Veena or Dayini Veena, meaning God gifted Veena. Okay, so that's it for today. I hope you like this video and it was informative enough for those who are looking out for some more information on the topic of Indian music instruments, you can refer to my blog. I have shared the link of my blog in the description area under this video. Well, if you appreciate my effort, then please do like, comment and share the video and do subscribe to my channel. I wish to see you all in my coming episodes. Till then, peace be with you. I like her videos. Yep, very educational. And entertaining, stay engaged. One, most of all, I was animated. So that's doubly impressive that she was able to, I don't know if she hired somebody or if she did it herself, but it was very good animation. Very good. And it was really cool that not only, well, all that we learned, but we knew most of the instruments. Yeah, we've been exposed to the majority of those for the two years. We've been exposed to, or at least, like obviously I wouldn't know the name. No, well, I can recognize the sound of it. Yeah. Like, I don't know what sound this gun makes when it, like when, like, I messed it up already. It's all right. No, the sound it makes when it kills somebody or something like that. It's from online, from like a, what's it from? I think it's from like a, what's it's face? Eastwood. Yeah, I love that you, what's the face? My god, it is. Yeah, you know what it is. That was really cool though. I really enjoyed that. Very educational. I enjoyed her videos. You know what I didn't know prior to us reacting to things? And this is coming from somebody who grew up with music and is a musician. I didn't realize there were so many instruments in Indian music. Yeah. Really did think it was as simple as just like versions of a sitar, versions of a tabla and things. Makes sense though, obviously. The world's oldest culture. Yeah. And music has been around since the beginning of humans. Yeah. And I guess some animals. And I know, we just scratched barely a fingernail clipping of the surface of the whole body of what the instrumentation is that's available in India. They have a lot of instruments. Remember the one we reacted to where everything was made out of clay? Mm-hmm. And like they can break. And there's the ones with the glasses and the cups all over. Yeah, we didn't. I think that video got blocked. I don't think it's ever saw the chain. That's a shame. We did a video, I forget which, it was one where he was playing the... They were, for lack of a term, there were little cups, but they were made of clay and they were talking about the process and how they have to dry. It's weird what videos get blocked. Yeah, it really is. Why wouldn't you want that to be seen? That was just a video about a guy explaining his instrument. Yeah, that we'd never seen, that I think Tashara is the one who turned us on to that. Yeah. And it got blocked. Yep. Anyway. Shows you. Great. Let us know other videos of hers that we can react to down below.
