  • Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian
    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm.

  • General Knowledge
    Siddhartha Basu Preface Know for Sure—a series of eight general knowledge books for students of classes 1 to 8—has been a carefully and has earned the trust of many for providing detailed and accurate information on a wide range of subjects. between knowing more and being sure of what we learn is by getting to the primary source of facts or by cross- checking these with sound references. Know for Sure has been doing this since its beginning while continuously updating itself to keep pace with this age of information boom. This year, the series has been thoroughly revised Know for Sure is not just a bunch of questions and answers or just another bundle of facts which have to be answers. It is about going beyond a few select subjects that are taught in schools. It is also about becoming more aware of the world around us. Therefore, this series has been designed as an extension of the recommendations of National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 and is aimed at bringing alive general knowledge in the classroom with quizzes, games, facts, surveys, word craft, activities, life skills, brain-teasers, lifestyles, stories, handicrafts, group discussions about value systems, and a whole lot more that can excite, engage, and educate a young mind. The perspective of the series—India and the World—is aimed at kindling an all-round interest in subjects both familiar and unknown. While systematically dealing with subjects and areas recommended for learning, these books not only make quizzing fun and fascinating but also encourage learners to discover more.

  • The Journey of Kathak Dance
    Katha Dance Theatre Press Kit Dance. Discover. Transform. Office: 5444 Orchard Avenue N., Crystal, MN 55429 | Studio: 5806 W. 36th Street, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 | 763.533.0756 | [email protected] Mission Katha Dance Theatre creates, performs, and educates through the art forms of dance, music, poetry, and storytelling. Rooted in Kathak, the classical dance style of North India, KDT is dedicated to making dance accessible, inclusive and relevant. It enhances the local community by bridging diverse cultures and audiences to contribute to life’s infinite artistic expressions. History Founded in 1987 by Artistic Director Rita Mustaphi, KDT is a non-profit organization based in Crystal, Minnesota. The company was founded with the intent to advance Kathak, the classical dance tradition native to North India, and integrate it into the Twin Cities dance community. To this end, KDT offers performances, education, and other cultural activities of the highest artistic and cultural quality throughout the state of Minnesota. Furthermore, KDT is the only organization of its kind, scale and scope in the Midwest, ensuring its strong cultural and artistic impact. The word “Kathak” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Katha,” meaning “story”. As a dance form, Kathak has its origins among traveling storytellers (called “Kathakas”) who traveled throughout India’s villages sharing dramatized versions of Hindu epics and lore using songs, gestures, and subtle expressions. Centuries of exposure to Indo-Persian cultures enriched the art form, manifesting within it a unique synthesis of Hinduism and Islam. In the 16th Century, Persian rulers introduced Kathak to the royal courts, where it acquired secular elements of sophistication, especially in its pure dance passages.
