This is not permissible. This chanting is singing and songs, and singing is the voice of the Shaytan (Satan).
"And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice" (Al-Isra:64).
Allah says to the Shaytan :“And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice” (Al-Isra:64).
And the voice of Shaytan is singing. It’s not permissible to use singing in gatherings, parties, or other occasions; what they call Sheilat. This is all Haram (forbidden) and not permissible.
