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

  • Its retarded, Terry ...

    Its retarded, Terry Gajraj is an absolute joke, who can't come up with any hits, he doesn't get any credibility in the music scene, but yet he got the balls to crack on Indians? What a dumb South American.

  • Yeah only Guyanese ...

    Yeah only Guyanese would do sh*t like this. You guys like to crack on Indians, Trinis, Sri Lankans, etc; most of the hating I see on anything chutney/tassa/soca related are by mainly Guyanese ppl, that is why Guyana is a dump, you guys don't want to live there but you claim it with such pride. You guys want to make fun of Indians, but sweat bollywood, make fun of Trinis but sweat the Trini Chutney, Tassa and Soca. Some of you need to worry about progressing in life, rather than hating.

  • it's not really ...

    it's not really funny, it's just sort of stupid.
    it's funny in the same way as watching a monkey pretend to play the piano, or an ape play dress-up, or the class bobolie answering a question when the teacher call on him. in all 4 cases something of art or intellect is mimicked and made mockery of by some ignorant who who can't understand it, so he mocks it.
    we all laugh at the class bobolie's, but no one wants to be them.
