  • 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. Tal literally means "clap".

  • Annamacharya Aaradhana
    2018 అన#$%ర' ఆ)ధన Annamāchārya Ārādhana 2:00pm - 7:00pm on September 30th, 2018 Revere High School, 3420 Everett Road, Richfield OH 44286 Vision Annamacharya Aradhana endeavors to pass India’s rich cultural heritage to our next generation, encourage us to love more consciously and with abundance and excel in personal growth and social engagement. Saint Tallapaka Annamacharya (1408 - 1503) Annamayya is widely regarded as the Padakavita pitaamaha (grand old man of song writing) of the Telugu language who strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions that we hear today. Annamacharya considered his compositions as floral offerings to the Lord of the seven hills, Sree Venkateswara. Annamacharya composed close to 36,000 sankeertanas (songs) out of which only 12,000 are available today. Based on the Vishishtadvaita school of thought, his songs are classified into Aadhyaatma (spiritual) and Sringaara (romantic) genres. Many of his compositions are in Telugu language. Every year in the month of September/October, NEOTA conducts the Annamacharya Aradhana, to celebrate the life and works of Saint Annamacharya of Tallapaka, as a humble tribute to the supreme devotion of the poetic genius that continues to captivate us to this day! !1 of !5 Annamacharya Sankeerthanalu by Cleveland Annamacharya Group " (taught by Gurus Sri Srivishnu Pasumarthy & " Sri Sreekrishna Pasumarthy)" Bhakti Koladhi Vaade Rāgam: malayamarutham Tālam: Adi Anthayuneeve Rāgam: Anandabhairav Tālam: Adi Iddarigunambulive Rāgam: Kapi Tālam: Adi Kantimineedide Rāgam:

When the Lord walks gracefully, the camphor on his body sprinkles and as the goddess sits on his lap it seems as if he is covered by moonlight. The glittering ornaments worn by the Lord join the charisma of the goddess and seem like a lightning joins hands with the glitter and charisma. Meaning (word-word): Adapted from Tenneti Rao’s Blog: http://tenneti-rao.sulekha.com/blog/post/2010/09/meaning-of-okapari-kokapari-song-annamayya-kirtana.htm Time and again (“okapari- kokapari”), when the Lord is gracefully (“oyyaaramai”) walking, it seems that in his face (“mogamuna”), many beautiful rays (“kaLalenni”) have sprouted (“molaci”) and existed thus (“natlunde”). okapari = once; kokapari = a different time; oyyaaramai = with grace, gracefully; mogamuna = on the face; kaLalenni = many a ray, many beauties (cf. moon has sixteen distinct phases of beauty, sixteen degrees of beauty); molaci = as if sprouted; natlunde = exist thus; When the Lord of the world (“jagadEka -pati ”) walks gracefully, the camphor dust (“karpuura-dhuLi”) on his body (“mEna ”) sprinkles (“callina ”) and spreads sparkling light (“jigigona ”) on all four directions (“naluvanka”).
