Funny! -- Chutney Music meets Classical Indian Music
Here's a hilarious little clip I found of Chutney Music (by Indo-Guyanese Chutney musician Terry Gajraj) VS Indian Classical Music (by Pandit Ramesh Deochand and Trevolta Karan.) Seems to be from some Natak or concert in New York. Answers the question: What would happen if Chutney lyrics were transported to ancient India? Hope no one is offended. It's all in good fun, and is a homage to both Indo-Caribbean and Indian culture ;) Bit of background for those uninitiated in the genre, Chutney is the dance music of the Indo-Caribbean Desi diaspora. A unique fusion of Soca, (as well as Reggae and Dancehall sometimes) with traditional Indian music, Bollywood music and Bhangra. Crossing cultural boundaries to be hugely popular in both the Caribbean and the Indian diasporic communities in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica and their communities in America, Canada and the UK, the Chutney music is a highly influential musical genre that evolved alongside Soca. Even today, it provides a strong musical musical influence on Soca and Dancehall Reggae. Much love to MrGoat00 for the original upload
