Music of India An exploration of Indian music

The music of India is as diverse as its many cultures. India has over a billion people and hundreds of dialects and languages spread across the seventh largest country in the world, but there is still an undeniable “sound” that makes Indian music unmistakable.

In this series, PBS journalist Hari Sreenivasan explores different aspects of Indian music: Indian musical instruments; the styles of music across India; and what makes Indian music unique—and where it is going.

• Before you get started, think of what you already know about Indian music. What are some of the sounds or instruments you associate with this type of music? Have you heard music from the Arab world before? Who were the artists/groups/styles, etc? What do you remember about it? Keep these things in mind as you listen to the audio series.
• As you listen, think about the fact that “Indian music” can mean many different things (styles, practices, etc.) and reflect on the diversity of music from India.

Lesson Content

• For Educators

The Musical Instruments of India

Do you know which drum can speak? Or what instrument is made from a pumpkin? In this segment, we’ll learn about the many instruments that define the sounds of Indian music, and how they are played: the tabla, sitar, tanpura, sarangi, mizhavu, naal, dhol, pung…and the double-flute sitara, whose players can perform without stopping to breathe!

The Styles and Types of Indian Music

The geographic, linguistic, and cultural diversity of India contributes to a broad range of musical styles within Indian music. Certain folk styles and traditions of music important to one region may be virtually unknown in others. In this segment, we’ll learn about many common elements of Indian music—ragas, drones, improvisation, and the celebrity of being a Bollywood playback singer.

What Makes Indian Music Unique?

Indian music typically contains no harmony, can be completely improvised, and is rarely written down. So how do Indian musicians manage to play together? In this segment, we’ll learn about rhythmic patterns called taal, music unique to certain communities and even times of the year, and if deep-rooted musical traditions can continue as India undergoes fast-paced growth and modernization.

Comprehension

• What are some of the key instruments used in Indian music? Do they have counterparts/similarities to instruments in Western music?
• What are some of the unique elements of Indian music?
• What are some of the common musical roots of the diverse world of Indian music?

Critical Thinking

Describe the effect regional differences on Indian musical styles. Do other types of musical traditions from other parts of the world have this? Describe and then compare and contrast these practices.

What are some of the predictions the musicians make about where Indian music is going? What are some of their reasons for this?

Think of music from your own cultural tradition. Do you see some of the same shifts occurring?

Additional Indian Music Videos

The music and dance of India provide students with a window to the vibrant culture and traditions of one of the world's largest countries. As part of the Kennedy Center's maximum INDIA festival, Ragamala Dance introduces students to Bharatanatyam, a traditional dance form from south India. Combining virtuosity and aesthetic beauty, the dancers, accompanied by live music, demonstrate how basic body positions, rhythms, gestures, and facial expressions are woven into each piece. Acclaimed sitar and cello duo, Shubhendra Rao and Saskia Rao-de Haas, perform their own compositions blending European and Indian styles and also perform with Ragamala Dance. Rao-de Haas will show how she adapted the western instrument to create the 'Indian cello'—the only such instrument in existence (recorded in 2011 at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC).

Featuring classical music from India, these three musicians showcase the traditional styles of Indian culture.

Charanjit Singh takes the Indian musical style of Ragas to a different dimension by combining the iconic Indian sounds with the futuristic synthesizer.

From the Kennedy Center Education Archives: A faculty member at the University of Oregon at Eugene, Sreevidhya Chandramouli plays the vina (plucked Indian lute) in the Karaikudi tradition, combining voice and vina in her performances.

As part of The Kennedy Center's 2011 Maximum India festival, this free session introduces participants to Bhangra. Instructor Rina Shah leads the class in the basic movements of Bhangra dance, while DJ Rekha introduces traditional instruments like the alghoza, chimta, tumbi (or ektar), and dhol, then demonstrates how they are incorporated into modern dance music.

Combining the roots of Bollywood music with big band style, the Bombay Royale brings a unique sound to every performance.

The India Day Parade in New York saw an impressive turnout as people from various backgrounds came together to celebrate. A standout feature of the parade was a wooden carnival float depicting the Ram Mandir, a grand pink sandstone temple from Ayodhya, decorated with flowers. The parade was alive with patriotic songs, Indian flags, dhols, and dancing, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Religious songs accompanied the float, enhancing the spiritual tone of the event. Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj, who attended at the invitation of the Indian-American community, praised the parade’s display of India's divine and cultural heritage. He noted the enthusiasm of the participants and the wonderful presentation of India's values through various tableaus. Highlighting the Ram Mandir float, he emphasized India's message of global unity, equality, and the concept of the world as one family. He commended the parade as the largest and most significant representation of Indian culture globally.
