Hindustani



Hopefully this is the correct Hindustani we are discussing. I wish I knew what he was singing about. The people in the video did seem light-hearted, and this may be a bit ethnocentric but the music sounded upbeat as well. I didn't hear anything that can across as sorrow represented by minor scales. There was the typical violin orchestra featured in the song that was possibly synthesized. Hindustani did include a few malismas and heavy vibrato in his voice. The membranophones were still gave a sense of time but it was definitely not a sound particular to western music. There were also several aerophones, more than likely synthesized, featured in small solos throughout.
