Really interesting. They look like they’re from the Punjab probably Pakistan someone might know from the language.

That was really interesting. It is a phenomenally brilliant piece of music but somewaht heartwarming to see the appreciation of it. I love the idea of music as the universal language.
Having spent a lot of time in India I suspect these guys are wedding musicians.
I think some of the people reacting in this particular strand of clips might find the description “Tribal People” rather insulting. Bit racist IMO.
“Reaction” clips of all sorts are all over YouTube, currently. Presumably they generate a tidy income if they get enough views. Most of them seem to offer subscription models with extra content if you pay.
The unpaid-for clips are almost never shown uninterrupted, to avoid copyright strikes. One or two of the better clip creators are open about the necessity of doing this.
It is of course a quite seductive thing to see a stranger’s invariably-positive* reaction to music that you personally know and like.
I’m suspicious that the otherwise sophisticated-sounding participants here seem to have never heard Opera before. It’s a common feature of “Reaction” clips of all genres that the “reactors” have never heard the featured artists before. I often find this difficult to believe and think their professed ignorance is often feigned.
I wonder if they get paid for it.
*Of course they are. Negative reaction clips would be taken down pretty quickly and thus would not make money. Say 24 hours max lifespan if somone absolutely slagged a piece of music off in a clip.
That’s why I put it in quotes. It’s a very common description in India. No one has a problem with it there in my experience.
Don’t know about these clips, but I’ve heard many times of jazz musicians in the 60s being confronted with a Beatles’ song to play… and saying ‘Who are they?’
Yeah, right, chin-ny (and very much) reck-on.
The stuff about pressure and damage to the organs was v interesting.
I would guess The Afterword Massive could be described a a tribe
