Sounds of India

Welcome to the 'Sounds of India' - the blog dedicated to Indian music!

India offers a rich and varid heritage of music. Sound in different forms - be it the myriad vocal styles or the complex rhythmic patterns - is embedded in the fabric of Indian culture. For years, India has been the cradle of musical experiments. Sounds of India have a universal appeal. They have transcended geographical borders and cultures to become an integral part of world music and a global culture. Indian artists are sought and revered across the world.

Objectives
The objectives behind this blog are two-fold:
1) to explore various forms and nuances of Indian music
2) to generate and spread awareness about Indian music

Structure
The blogs would be theme-based. The themes would largely revolve around Indian Instruments, Rhythms and Raagas, and Collaboration of Indian music with world music. Minor themes such as Indian folk music, Research on Music etc. will evolve over time.

Participation
All and everyone interested in music are welcome to contribute. Hopefully, over a period of time, these blogs will become a rich, one-stop source of information on various facets of Indian music.
