Mind and Music: Demystifying Thumri Maestros


Overview

Indian classical music has two foundational elements, raga and tala. The raga forms a melody structure while the tala measures the time cycle.

Indian music has one of the most advanced and scientific systems of categorization of the melodic entities known as ragas and an equally sophisticated sense of rhythmic patterns or talas.
