Contents Introduction THE WORLD'S MUSICAL TRADITIONS Series, Volume 2: The Tabla Taran, a Little-Known Classical Percussion Instrument from North India that Plays Melodies Hindustani music, which thrives in North India, has become relatively well-known thanks to the work of Ravi Shankar and Zakir Hussain. However, the "tabla taran," an instrument made by arranging 10 to 16 tablas tuned to specific pitches and playing them like a melodic instrument, is not very well known. This work, produced under the leadership of the International Institute for Traditional Music, a cultural research institution established in 1963, features a performance by Pandit Kamalesh Maitra, hailed as "the last master of the tabla taran," supported by tabla player Trilok Gurtu, known for his work in jazz fusion sessions. The relaxed atmosphere of the sound, which differs from the conventional image of Hindustani music, strongly conveys the depth of Indian music. Furthermore, a luxurious booklet with high informational value is included as an appendix. Includes Japanese commentary/obi strip. Media reviews and more. The second release in the "THE WORLD'S MUSICAL TRADITIONS" series is the last master of the tabla taran, a classical Indian percussion instrument that plays melodies! (C)RS
