I am a punjabi. Born in chattisgarh, lived all my life in madhya pradesh. Hindi heartland. There is a stereotype that we hate tamil and southern Indian languages. Its not true we love tamil and know its older than sanskrit. I would have loved to have tamil as an optional language in my school. We should focus more on teaching South indian language as optional in north India rather than vice versa.
I'm Muslim I'm very proud to be a Tamilian and speak the oldest language in the world thanks to my other Indian and other bothers sisters who had appreciated my lovely language
I'm a Naga and I love Indian music. Indian culture is very rich and diverse and I hope we continue to do preserve our rich hertitage of music also. It's beautiful and unique.
Tamilians ...no body can beat them.. truely genius people..in every field..music science... M lucky to complete my education in tamilnadu...love from Maharashtra

Lots of Love From Maharashtra Mumbai city Atucally I can understand song because my mom belong from South and Daddy from Maharashtra So I feel very much proud that my mom is from Tamil thanks Frds Very very beautiful language God bless you all
I am a punjabi born n brought up in punjab .. didn’t understand most of the words but it’s my first track of everyday gym workout… a legendary masterpiece of Berkeley college of music ..:hats of to all of you Keep serving music and your mother tongue
This was the centre piece of the whole Rahaman sahabs dynamics.. he is one of the composers who still maintain very high dynamic range.. nothing is loud at all.
No further proof needed - Indian music effortlessly establishes "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - timeless, beyond boundaries, races, castes, creeds, cultures, languages, accents, religions, skin colours etc. etc. (anything that divides the human race) Hats off Berklee team members - each one of you. Pranams, salutes to every one of you - in front of the camera and behind! What a fantastic riot of music, colour, fun and oneness....
Can't remember having seen any other Music college, Award functions, any organization doing a concert any bigger and more detailed with the compositions of any composer... I am a Bengali... More over an Indian. I am proud of all Indian states with different languages, food, music, art... West is also learning slowly to celebrate life in our way. Indians should stop aping west now.
Shreyaji and KS Chitraji are my most favourite singers. Please invite KS Chitraji. She is the highest recipient of national awards for a female playback singer in India. She has sung in almost all indian languages. If you agree with me, please give a like for my comment, so that it gets noticed by organisers of Berklee College of Music!
I watch this video at least once a week for the past 4 months. Watching this gives so much happiness. And scrolling the comments section makes even more happier, Being a Tamilian.
*For those who want to get the idea of the lyrics-* The first song at 1:50 is an emotional one with a hindi version in the film Bombay. Comes close to the meaning: "only you, only you...without you how would i ever live" its the song for the ill-fated lovers. So is the second one at 4:13 called 'Nahin Samne Tu'. star-crossed lovers sing: "So what if you're not in front of me. You are close to me, you are within me." At 5:50 the third one i can't tell its in Tamil(India has like 22 different official languages.) The fourth one is 'chanda re, chanda re' at 7:15: Its been a long time since they met so they are having a romance with words about nature "oh moon(chanda), oh moon, take some time and visit the earth someday. We will just sit and have a chat..." [Hope this helps]
Prem Namaste from Durban, South Africa. I remember all of these songs from my childhood. Our people left India centuries ago but no matter where we went, the Indian culture lives on in different ways. I love Berklee. Thank you for sharing this! JAI HIND.
When the nation is fighting against a state who don't want hindi in their books, this extraordinary gang, comprising of different world cultures, from different Indian states and traditions showed that music and the humanity must not be language biased. We as India should be proud of all our languages. Hindi guys making fun of Tamil. Tamil guys banning Hindi must stop, so as to preserve cultural interests of united India. By the way am from Andhra Pradesh (Telugu state). I don't know atleast one Tamil word. But still I respect every language. Thank you A R Rahman sir for weaving us through these soulful songs in different languages. And Thank you Berklee Indian Ensemble for making us tap our heart and feet with outstanding choir team and stupendous vocal team.
8.28 onwards " Thanthane Thanthane"....is highly energetic....One of my favorite song....The two singers voice is amazing...The whole team is simply "SUPERB"
A.R.Rahman is a great music composer indeed. Even if he hadn't got any awards from America, he would still be considered a great music composer in India. But Maestro Illayaraja is the greatest music composer India has ever seen. So far, 4 generations of South Indians have been under the magic spell of Maestro Illayaraja's enchanting music. A.R.Rahman was Maestro Illayaraja's keyboard player and assistant. In India, there is only one music composer who can compose contrapuntal music like Johann Sebastian Bach. That's Maestro Illayaraja. He is the first Indian music composer to compose a full symphony, which was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. So, you should pay tribute to Maestro Illayaraja too.
I am from Pakistan doesnt understand a single word malyalam language but the magic of great A.R Rehman never stop and the berklee college did a great job
If people like AR RAHMAN are like God's of music...Berklee wud be the place where they make Angels of music....ssssoooo damn good...hats off to you people...love yaolll...
Never saw any group of people enjoying music like this....! I don't understand an iota of Tamil language but my heart danced to every God blessed word coming out of those beautiful mouths.
You guys are blessed.. My parents doesn't have much knowledge on my interest.. Am 37 now and still love to learn music and love to join this college.. Enjoy your life guys.. My wishes and prayers for you all.. Love you all ❤❤❤❤❤
Finally I am happy to see a place where people praising my mother tongue tamil, bcoz there's such bad stereotypes being created about south indians and this beautiful language.❤️
If Rajnikanth Sir is Thalaiva in acting as well as human being in Tamil Nadu then A R Rahman Sir is Thalaiva in music #proudmoment my friend is doing job in Chennai. M also trying to learn Tamil from him.....Tambe, macha etc. Eagerly waiting to speak Tamil fluently one day....
3:02 When he sang "Uyire..", my uyir just went to him. Such a talented singer. Also what a beautiful composition and everybody passing their soul to the song.
I always forget myself whenever I hear this Berklee musical. One will know music has no race or religion when u see them. Superb. I enjoy every musician's talent.
I close my eyes and listen trying to hear the faintest of instruments and you hear the entire music in all its glory. Try it, close your eyes listen focus and try to hear the faintest of instruments you'll hear everything
A. R. Rahman music exemplifies everything that is beautiful and rich about India. And Berklee College of Music does a wonderful job at sharing this experience.
No wonder Tamil is the oldest language of this planet. The words fit in so accurately into every tune. I could understand the words cause of Hindi version of these songs.
How lucky these people are! They are doing wat they luv! Music... Pure music...

This was the centre piece of the whole Rahaman sahabs dynamics.. he is one of the composers who still maintain very high dynamic range.. nothing is loud at all.
Heard Berklee produces great musicians, but these were magicians . How can people be soo good?
No further proof needed - Indian music effortlessly establishes "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - timeless, beyond boundaries, races, castes, creeds, cultures, languages, accents, religions, skin colours etc. etc. (anything that divides the human race)
