Q. What Is Lahra?





✓ •• Lahra ••

LAHRA is also known as Nagma. A lahra is a fixed melody, based on a particular raga, and composed in a particular tal. The lahra outlines, or shows the tal, usually by clearly following the vibhags (divisions).

In performance, we hear lahra in tabla solo, commonly performed by a sārangī player, or by a harmonium player. Other instruments are sometimes used but these two are the most common.

The role of these accompanists is similar to what tabla players do in accompaniment: keep time for the tabla player. This means both keeping the rhythm and showing the tal.

For listeners, lahra melodies can help you follow the tal when listening to a tabla solo, or to some of the demonstrations on this website. Lahra can also help you get a feel for a particular tal’s structure.

These days, most tabla players regularly use lahra melodies in their practice. Before smartphones, players used a lahra machine.
