Also beat boxing/ capella. All our taals (teen taal, ek taal, jhaptal etc) mimic the sound of the tabla and can actually give the beat needed for any song in the pace needed.

You have a great knowledge about music and taals 😇

People like her, are the messengers of our Heritage & culture. If possible can you share the complete lyrics of ताल बद्ध कवित . It would be great to get an enlightenment on this subject.

We need a platform to preserve folk music and traditions, unless people are supported financially this art will die. They need to be given opportunities and economic stability

Mimansa Shekhar2 years ago

Totally agree!! It's a fading culture now

Very nice! I don't know who the guy was sitting behind her, but he was mouthing the words she was saying as well! Speaking of classical music, have you seen this film directed by the legendary K Viswanathji? It is amazing.

With how I was raised, I've always felt a need to prove myself. This song has been playing subconsciously in my head for my entire life. The last five years that feeling has been on fire. There has been a carrot right in front of my face I've been trying to grab. WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU. EYES ON A DIAMOND. Lionhearted with KOTA is out now. Run this one up and share it everywhere. Pookie loves u. #profgampo #kotathefriend #hiphop #newmusic #rap

Christopher Nolan explains why he chose Travis Scott to open a 3,000-year-old epic instead of following Hollywood tradition "When academics talk about how Homer's story was passed down, they'll always talk about folk poets." "They don't look at rap. They don't look at a guy like Travis Scott." "That's why I've got Travis in the movie." "This is how this story's been handed down. We have that in our culture today. It's such an important part of the culture."

The biggest lesson I learned while kidnapped in Haiti for 17 days is that Gangster rap has ruined Gen Z. What I noticed inside was how they all glorified: - fake designer & jewelry - sagging your pants - becoming a rapper to talk about all your crimes We had become so 'friendly' with them inside that the kidnapper thought we would help him with his rap career once released. My brother & I leveraged that for my release. This is a negotiation call from Day 10.

👤: Like, ‘Aliens’ is a rap song, you know? 🐿️: It is a rap song. Yeah. So throughout the album, I think I looked back on what kind of work I have been doing all along. What identity we want to show as BTS. When I reflected on why we are creating this album, it was all about showcasing who we are, our identity and our roots. 🐿️: And as Koreans, there were parts that we wanted to highlight. So I think all of that worked out well. It came out very honestly and candidly. And there was a lot of rapping. As that came along, I think each of our styles actually meshed and blended cohesively throughout the album. 🐨: What’s amazing about J-Hope is that me and Suga, we started as a rapper, like, from a Seoul street scene. But he used to be a dancer. A street dancer. And my favorite rap verse from this whole album was like, his verse from a song called ‘2.0.’ Wow. Like, it’s so addictive. Like… (RM begins rapping J-Hope’s verse) 🐿️: Exactly! 🐨: Oh my, J-Hope! Damn, you’re a rapper, bro!

Devin Nunes explains the damage that was done by the criminals involved in the Grand Conspiracy. “People have died. People have lost their livelihoods. People have lost their careers. People have not been promoted. Families have been destroyed. Finances have been wiped out. Millions of Americans were kicked off social media. News networks were not allowed onto the legacy media platforms. This damage is far and wide and has been ongoing for a long time. So Nixon is not even a drop in the bucket to what is this kind of two or three dozens criminals in and around the Clinton operation, the DNC & Obama’s operation - and Biden’s operation for that matter - have been doing now for over a decade.” This is why our country cannot move forward until we see accountability.

Ironmouse has been a big inspiration since the beginning of my VTubing career. I don't usually comment on this stuff, but seeing such a good person go through such awful things is wrong. She deserves justice. In tribute to her, i've done an Ave Maria cover, her cover inspired me to show more of this side of my voice too: I heard her sing Opera in the start of her career; it surprised me-- Not only how amazing at singing she is but that someone similar to myself also comes from a classical background. Most importantly, Ironmouse has shown me to *NEVER* give up in anything you do. This girl has been at it for so long through so many difficulties and has made it. There have been so many days I've wanted to give up but seeing how strong she is and how she got to where she is now has made me want to do better and keep going. We've had distant musical/stream collabs from mutuals when we both started VTubing. I'm not sure if you remember me but if you see this, I want to thank you for always being so kind to me :'3 You deserve the world and I know things will get better for you, you are so loved. Keep being amazing!

This is a very sad, painful and haunting cry from an old woman in Gutu pleading for Job Sikhala’s release. She talks about how Job Sikhala used to help the elderly with food during their difficult times. Job Sikhala has been in prison for over 460 days without a custodial conviction. He has been repeatedly denied bail! Job Sikhala penned a letter released by New Hawks talking about how his comrades have betrayed him.

#WATCH | Tamil Nadu | On Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's letter to Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, DMK MP Kanimozhi says, "I think it's very inappropriate for a minister to call our opposition to the imposition of Hindi as myopic because we have seen how many languages have been destroyed, how many cultures, how many people have become faceless in this country because the students have been forced to learn Hindi and they've lost their own culture, they've lost their identity, they've lost their language. Vice President has recently said that the best way to destroy a culture and a race is to destroy its language. So, we are protecting our culture, race, and language, which we've inherited from our forefathers. It's a very ancient language, it's a classical language, and we want to protect it and gift it to future generations. I don't think it's a myopic view. I think it's a visionary thing that our leaders in Tamil Nadu for years have been taking up this struggle for, and we cannot let it go because it is going to completely destroy our identity as a people..."

mgk on his upcoming 2026 rap album: "I have the sickest name for the rap album." "The main thing is that we want and need these songs to pop. ‘FIX UR FACE’ gotta pop."

"A lot of these songs [from the lost americana album], this will be the last time you hear them on a set list for a while because everything's gonna change a lot when all this new music comes out" "I would compare it to absolutely none.

Hopefully I will have given back to it when I’m here, just so very grateful for my life so far….” Bravo and congratulations to this lady. A grateful immigrant and not an entitled one is indeed refreshing and I’m sure she has been and will continue to be a credit to our country.
