This is a performance from their live album “Family Dinner”, and won The Pups & Lalah a Grammy for “Best R&B Performance” in 2013, it was the first Grammy for both artists. I believe this is a combination of Soul, Funk, and Jazz Fusion music. Yeah, the musicians up there were listening and feeling on each other and that's how this music flowing like water. Their playing was so tight and they started to move their bodies and that's when they're at “trance” condition, it means that their minds are going to another dimensions of the universe.

I can’t believe throughout this whole performance you commented on everything except Lalah’s voice and what she was doing. She was scatting and when she started harmonizing with herself (which is unheard of) that’s when the guys in the band started going off. Lalah is the daughter of one of the greatest male soul singers to ever pick up a mic, Donny Hathaway!

She was singing 3 notes at once to harmonise with herself. It's called polyphonic overtones I believe. :-)

I have never seen a reaction video where the host focuses on what the crowd is doing rather than the musicianship of the artists. He doesn’t know R&B or Jazz nor the fact that this performance won a GRAMMY! Hip hop is not the only genre out there young man! By the way, the vocalization Lalah Hathaway (daughter of the late great DONNY HATHAWAY) was singing is called Scat. It is when a jazz singer uses their voice to run scales like a musical instrument. Learn your musical history! It will make you appreciate the music on your generation even more!

Loved your reaction man! To be fair to the audience - since they were recording this session for an album, and the audience was sitting right on top of the artists, the audience was asked to be as quiet as possible during the performances so as not to be picked up on the mics

Your parents might know Lalah’s father Donny Hathaway who wrote “This Christmas” and several other 70s soul classics. He would have been as big as Stevie Wonder if it wasn’t for his untimely death. His daughter Lalah as you can see transcends his talent. A well-deserved Grammy for this group!

She’s from BET. RIP BET🤎 Somethin is really old and she gave it new life here and that song is older than most people in that room💯I discovered her when I was 6, but didn’t get into DONNY until grown💔💔Lalah is special as fuck and she knows it🤎❤️💜🖤💚

Snarky Puppy is their own genre. They will always surprise you.

This is not overtone singing. Lalah's vocal chords do something extremely rare--she talks about it in a video I wish I could find the URL for, but when she does it, one chord vibrates while the other doesn't and nobody can explain why or how she's able to control it. They actually filmed it to find out what the deal was but no one knows how or why it happened.

If you wanna keep going down the Snarky Puppy rabbit hole you should check out Lingus and Shofukan next

Lalah is r&b royalty. Been around for yrs. Her father is the Donnie hathaway. Snarky is the shit some of the best musicians in the world. Keyboards Corey Henry is a genius has worked with everyone ye, Jay z ect. Check out everyone. Please do lingus

The Trumpet has what’s called a Harmon Mute in the bell that gives it that beautiful haunting sound. Check out 1950’s Miles Davis to hear the best Harmon playing there has ever been on Trumpet.

She's "scatting"

Snarky Puppy was a rejected name from a list of names from I believe his brother's brand. It's essentially Michael League's band (bassist) Anyways welcome to the SP rabbit hole and as anyone will tell you the weather down here is awesome! lol I'm seeing them live here in Miami in May ...can't wait!

do you read your comments? People on here have been explaining polyphonic singing

Calm down, not everyone is as outwardly expressive as you think they should be.

The audience can’t react. This is being recorded. A live recording

Mute trumpet…..

Please react to morissette amon newest single "Gusto ko nang Bumitaw" lyric video. I will wait for you to react this
