His breath support, vocal timbre, and range are insane. I’ve been a fan of his for a while, I’m glad you’re seeing him. There’s something else I’m going to request of you, by him but also another group that sang with a little girl who is insane!
Fun Fact: 'Ustad' is not a name its a title given to legends. It literally means 'Master', this is given by the musical community to those whose talent and excellence achieves the highest order. So when you see a video where an artist referred to as an 'Ustad' you know you are in for a journey with excellence!
He’s from Pakistan. Latin Americans have awesome melisma as well called COPLA or flamenco music. And Irish people also have their own kind of melisma. Melisma really is an international thing.
@@MrPrav76 Firstly, it isnt flamingo it is Flamenco. And, can you confirm your evidence? From what I have read, Flamenco is the Spanish interpretation of Arabic music and Fado is the Portuguese interpretation. I would love to learn more if you have more information. 🙂
@@chrisofmelbourne87 That’s just one reference by the way sorry for my spelling mistake but you can go do you own research just type in on Google origins of flamenco music which was originally from the gypsies of India
Wowwww. What a voice, I have heard of him. He is singing in an Eastern style (Like you said Nick, Melismas). Mostly Black-American Churches are the ones who developed melismas in the U.S. over the centuries, through gospel music. Basically them and the eastern style (Balkans / Middle East / Spain / India) have amazing melismas, even though they are different but both are wow. So glad you reacted to him. Su ch a voice. Wowwwwww. I love his runs, his vocal texture and tone, very emotive and bright. And creative melismas!
@@hollygranger3734 You're welcome. I find it interesting, that if you look at any music (Before Soul/RnB/Aretha/Etta James), eg: 1920s-1930s, runs, dips, riffs and melismas are either never used or very limited and simple. The gospel churches influence was strong in singers like Etta James and Aretha Franklin. Eg: if we look at Jazz, runs were not used, it was more linear and smooth. Controlled. Blues too. Country music too. I guess opera in Europe used some types of runs but is different to normal singing and requires lots of training. In pop music, other genres we know in the English spesking world/the west, gospel is source of these vocal acrobatics that slowly crept in and influenced everything. In the east, the rythms are based on the Makams (Rythms/Scale) of the Jewish / Christian Orthodox/ Muslim religious music, which are almost the same scales, as well as Hindu religious music in the Indian subcontinent, Gypsy (Romany) music and Arab nomadic singing. These regions have all influenced each other so much, because of empires and invasions, immigration and thus a 3000 year rich cultural exchange. This is why you can see so many types of vocal gymnastics that are similar from India to Spain, along with a yearning/passion/cry in their voices. 🙂
Those rifts and runs or scating (some of you call it) is actualy equivalent of solfège but in this classical form, except of do re mi so fa la ti sylables are different and here they are sa re ga ma pa dha ni. Because of first four (sa, re, ga, ma), it is called sargam. Master singers do Sargam to express the series of their notes by becoming an instrument themselves.
He has been trained since a child in classical singing and music - he comes from a very long line of super masters of classical music - here he has created a fusion piece of a traditional song.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is a Pakistani qawwal and singer. He was trained from childhood by his own legendary father as well as his uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who revolutionized the art of qawwali. Qawwali is a uniquely South Asian Sufi tradition. You can listen to Rahat's qawwalis, songs and kalaam's on Coke Studio Pakistan.
Loveeedddd this reaction. Yes Qawalli singers are SO talented, its a true art. Love the way you really appreciated, also kudos for pausing when saying your interesting thoughts and then backtracking a bit to not miss.
He’s swaying the notes he’s singing (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni) and also telling the tabla player the rhythm by mixing in Konnakol, a form of spoken language of rhythm. At the part you said he’s scatting
Masha'Allah our brother is saying that he i stunned to the degree of being irked by how good it was (and that he never knew about this style of music) and has not yet listened to Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali khan, Rahat's teacher. But its ok, this style is literally native to my land, and your reaction is the same as ours was when we first heard Qawwali too. :D
In Pakistani classical music, ustad means master shows different NOTES used in that tune like ….sa..ray..ga…mà..pa..dha..nee…etc. Rahat Fateh Ali is one of that masters who are classically trained.
Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been trained and spend his ages learning Raag and Classical singing from his Uncle Ustad Nusrat Fathe Ali khan another master Musician of South Asia at that times.
The ustand is an incredibly talented singer, even though his late uncle trained him. He guides his backup singers and band using his voice and gestures, often changing the speed and structure of the songs. The people from India and Pakistan are famous for developing great talents through hard work and commitment, making them examples of excellence that are hard to match.
Sensational singing and heartfelt sincere reaction. Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. First part of the name means MASTER, He is one of the masters of the Vocals in the entire world. Please react to another of his classics from the Coke studio ; Coke Studio Season 7| Chaap Tilak| Abida Parveen & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan , with English subtitles (9:02 minutes)
He was doing notes vocally man. To attain this one needs to do it from childhood. I remember him from a concert he did with him in early 90,s here in uk.
He was chanting in the End "Ali Ali Ali Ali".... you must have hear the name Mohammad Ali... he was chanting the name of Ali .... Cousin of Prophet Mohammad Peace Be Upon him and his family....
That's why everyone calls him "Ustaad" ustaad means your boss your teacher the head of teachers you can say in short the one and only god father of music
Hey bro, I am from Bangladesh, Was once the East Pakistan. This singer's name is RAHAN FATEH ALI KHAN from Pakistan, a south Asian country. What you heard like ''sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa" that is the base concept of making the voice prepare for any song in our South Asia. You can visit some other songs of him from "Coke Studio". Love from Bangladesh. ❤
rahat's instrument called harmonium- his father farrukh fateh ali khan known as king of harmonium as he was very fine player. his teacher was his uncle ustad nusrat fateh ali khan .. and later on he adopted rahat. the combination of music and vocal known as raag ... i think there are 36 37 raags in indian subcontinental.
The parts where he’s saying “sa” “re” “ga” etc is scatting like you said not actual words. Lots of gems from Pakistan! Check out coke studio tracks like Sawaal kande utte, kangna, miyan ki malhar, yaar vekho, aadam, piya re (Nescafé). I think you’d enjoy all of these they’re really wonderful fusions
Bro you are missing out big time on “Coke studios - Rahat fateh Ali khan and abida parveens chaap tilak” it’s insane and in my opinion way better than this.
Great reaction my guy. Glad you understood the technical difficulties of the performance. Btw you probably get this a lot but you're an absolute dead ringer for KRS ONE 😊
Hey Bro. Singing a Raag is like doh rey me but it goes Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da nee sa aver a C major scale. There are an infanite number of variations. This video is a 10 minute meddly of the hilights the 3 hour concert he was touing at the time. Well spotted QL missed out Fateh...It was an amazing day!
Rahat fateh is the nephew of the legend Nusrat Fateh Ali khan. Rahat Fateh was taught by his uncle himself. Plz react on Nusrat Fateh Ali as well. Maybe on "kina soba tenu". They both sang numerous songs for bollywood as well. And then there's Abida Parween as well. Plz react on "aaqa" from coke studio too.
Ustad is a title for him.. like calling someone Sir.. and the words you said you can't do it.. that is he doing notes on scales vocally.. sa is C, re is D . And so on.. he is legend for a reason.
He is from Pakistan,his name is Rahat Fateh Ali khan, it's classic modern mix,if you want pure rock from pakistani singers then brother kindly react to Pepsi battle of the bands,the song is "Jilawatan by"Call". you will definitely like it brother.
His breath support, vocal timbre, and range are insane. I’ve been a fan of his for a while, I’m glad you’re seeing him. There’s something else I’m going to request of you, by him but also another group that sang with a little girl who is insane!

Exactly
Also his emotion in his songs! You can do all that crazy stuff, but he makes it so musical and soulful too.

@@passionate_472No it doesn't
@@STAYBLINK-qh8bj I am right check it on Google ... Ustad has so many meanings
He learned from his uncle, late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
The instrument he is playing is a harmonium which is an air pump with reeds. It's used by all classical musicians and devotional singers
He’s from Pakistan. Latin Americans have awesome melisma as well called COPLA or flamenco music. And Irish people also have their own kind of melisma. Melisma really is an international thing.
