rtidrtid Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 hi all is there a name for indian instrumental music (essentially background instrumentals for weddings)? I'm sure there's a word for that type of music, but can't figure it out!

Yoda-esque Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 This is a very good thread.Can we expand this thread to discuss Indian classical music and its nuances (the differences between Hindustani and Carnatic classical etc.) ? I have always been interested in knowing about Raagas and Kirthanas and I am sure that there are many posters who are knowledgeable on them. Posters can cite examples of the different raagas used in film music so that it does not become a purist's thread and can be a learning experience for the likes of me as well.
Yoda-esque Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I will start with this wonderful video of Ustad Zakir Hussain explaining the basics of Classical music. He is widely acknowledged in popularizing Classical music to the newer generation. There are 4 parts.I am only uploading the first but you should be able to find the rest on youtube.
