This isn't just combining Hindustani and Carnatic singing styles, it's also a mixing of instruments as well. The flute is found in both styles, but the mridangam (on the far left) and violin were originally exclusive to Carnatic music while the tabla originally came about to accompany Hindustani singers. The REALLY big drum at the back is the khol, similar in construction to the pakhawaj and almost as old. There is also a kanjira being played in the back - the original form of the tambourine, also found originally in Carnatic music. There are thousands of years of musical tradition on display here in all their glory. If I saw this live, I'd probably be crying.

Sandeep narayan is born and brought up in California USAand now migrated to Chennai India for Carnatic music only

It’s so great to see two masters so humble and appreciative of each other during a jugalbandhi. ❤

He is singing the Southern Indian classical music called Carnatic music. The lyrics are in the Southern Indian language, Tamil. She is singing the Northern Indian classical music called Hindustani music. The lyrics are in the Northern Indian language, Hindi. In between she sings in the Tamil language though she is from the North. The sudden applause is an appreciation of her flawless pronunciation in Tamil.

If there is divinity in music, this is it.

Sandeep Narayan is an absolute underrated gem of a singer. You guys really should listen to Ennappan allava from him. It's a classic, elevates you to another level. You'd be blown away by the sheer size of the show from Isha Foundation, an absolute celebration for Lord Shiva and they stay up all night for the Maha Shivrathri every year.

"Music has the power to heal"

FYI....Sandeep Narayan is the son in law of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev of Isha Foundation.

North & south Indian Music coming together in this Raga Hamsadhvani defining the boundary conditions of the improvisations/embelishments are defined by the rules of the Raga. In this case, the ascending notes: S R G P N Ṡ, and the descending notes: Ṡ N P G R S .(the notes are what they are poronouncing). Hamsadhvani falls into the family of early night (9-12) Raags. The prominant note is S and the second most prominant is R. The different embelishments by the singers, ie the way they tranverse and touch the micronotes so well enchant the listener, to enjoy both the Hindustani and the Carnatic styles. Its amazing how the classical singers learn to be so free yet stay so precicely within the Raga being sung, which number in three figures.

Waleska looks soooo gorgeous!!!! Black looks so nice on her!!!!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

I was sitting in the audience when this performance happened last year (Isha foundation Coimbatore). This performance is in reverence to Sadhguru. Absolutely magical that evening was!

Its not a competition but an acceptance of each other's style singing and mainly enjoying the whole process. That's what make them unique. That ambience really is something one should experience in a life time

He is singing in Tamil And she in Hindi. People were thrilled and started clapping when Koushiki switched to Tamil.

I'd love to see an Indian performance, but that doesn't happen in my state. Love this!!!

Every raagas had it's own meaning not only from it's sounds but it's a real life in India's heritage even after many invaders came to India but our heritage would never die ❤❤❤

I cried, listening to this reaction video, classical music and vocals always take me to a different realm, and I surrender to it completely, always moistening my eyes, can't describe anymore... So happy to be lucky to enjoy this greatness !!! ☺️

Please react on "Hoshwalo ko khabar kya", singer is Legendary Jagjit Singh

Yay! Full video on this, was waiting for it. So satisfying to see you guys left speechless and mindblown at the end, other performance of this night are also there on Sounds of Isha channel, if you would want to listen to them in your free time.

Oh my god, that ending crescendo of everything is something I've never heard or felt before.

The "feeling of elation" you mentioned is because the raag is designed this way. It's called "Raag Hamsadhwani" which translates to Swan's Melody
