Yes, I understand that it's not scat singing. The title is meant to convey an approximation of what Konnakol is so that a westerner unfamiliar with it might be interested in checking it out.

Konnakol (also spelled Konokol, Konakkol) (Tamil: கொன்னக்கோல்) is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally in South Indian music, the Carnatic music (South Indian classical) performance art of vocal percussion. Konnakol is the spoken component of solkattu, which refers to a combination of konnakol syllables spoken while simultaneously counting the tala (meter) with the hand.[1] It is comparable[citation needed] in some respects to bol in Hindustani music, but allows the composition, performance or communication of rhythms. Sri Thetakudi Harihara Subash Chandran is a well-known proponent. (norththreesevenzerooneonesevensix westzerozeroeightzerozeroonesixfive)

If, like me, you have a vivid but possibly fading memory of a young, classy, warm-voiced and quite attractive Indian-British lady who did a song very similar to the one in this video, which you found when you searched for 'indian scat singing' because you couldn't think of any better keywords to use, and then you ended up at this video of a bunch of boring old jazz cats instead of that Indian hottie with the fenomenal vocal performance, and you're frustrated because no one, not even here in the comments, is acknowledging her much earlier and much better and warmer and smoother and sexier performance, or even confirming that it has ever existed at all, and now you're beginning to doubt yourself and you wonder if maybe it was just your imagination -- well, let me assure you that your memory is very true, that you're only one mouse-click away from rediscovering that beautiful artist, whose name is Sheila Chandra and whose song is called "Speaking in Tongues", of which multiple versions can be found here on KZfaq, but this one on her own channel is a good start, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y72Tnthyz86nmoE.html

Comparing Konnakkol as Indian Scat Singing is like equating Veena/Sitar with Guitar or Mridangam/Tabla with Drums. While many resort to this analogy in the pretext of convenience, it is both inaccurate and unjustified. Beatboxing, Scat Singing and the entire range of Vocal Percussions are new age inventions which are undoubtedly interesting, unique & entertaining in their own ways. However Konnakkol is a distinguished classical art form with profound meaning to each and every syllable, unsurpassed in stature, unrivaled in complexity and unparalleled in its depth & range.

If I remember correctly, each of those syllables corresponds to a type of hit on the tabla, an Indan drum instrument. So not only can they sing the syllables, but they can play them as well. This video shows what I'm talking about: /watch?v=Joyk_EMtzn0
@kharybdis5 жыл бұрын
That's true for the North Indian counterpart of this. In the NI classical tradition, those 'bols' are syllables that represent the various tabla strikes. This is from the South Indian tradition, in which tabla is not a major percussion instrument. In the SI tradition, the main rhythmic/percussive accompaniment is the mrdanga, but the syllables don't even necessarily represent the mrdanga strikes here. In the SI tradition, the art of vocal percussion is not representative of anything. It's treated as a thing unto itself. You can transcribe a Konnakkol performance into a mrdanga (or any other drum) performance, but the syllables themselves are not representative of anything.
@AM-tu1rc4 жыл бұрын
@@kharybdis Very informative, I wasn't aware of that. I briefly learned mridangam and learned bols, but it was much less strict than tabla bols and there was much more flexibility, so it makes sense that konnakol is a completely different art.
