Скачать или смотреть Rare Tabla Bandish/Kaida (Vocal Tabla Compositions), Banaras Gharana

Tabla Beat Box(?)

Pt. Chandra Bhushan, disciple of Pt. Lachhu Ji Maharaj (Tabla Maestro) recites those rare traditional tabla bandish (compositions) from the Banaras Gharana and a few from the Punjab gharana. When learning the tabla, compositions are taught and recited within a rhythmic structure or tal, we learn to clap out the tal as we recite compositions.

A kaida is a type of tabla composition. There are different types of tabla compositions, both fixed (pre-composed) and improvised.

The word kaida is an Arabic word meaning 'rule' or 'a system of rules'. The rules for playing a kaida are complex, but in short, one must only use the bols that are in the original theme, follow the rules of tala, and maintain the bhari-khali structure.

So, a tala is a rhythmic cycle of a certain number of beats. For example, 7, 8, 12, 16.
