Priyanka Akhilan is an Indian Carnatic Singer living in Canada. She has garnered a large following on TikTok for her videos demonstrating and analyzing Indian Carnatic music. Because Carnatic music uses a different methodology than Euro-Centric music, we wanted to see how Auld Lang Syne, a Scottish tune, could be interpreted in an Indian Carnatic style. Can the dignity and essence of Carnatic style, and the origins of Auld Lang Syne, coexist authentically?
