Description

Konnakol is the ancient South Indian art of performing rhythmic syllables vocally, a cornerstone of Carnatic music. In Konnakol, intricate percussion patterns traditionally played on instruments like the mridangam are translated into vocal sounds using a specialized vocabulary known as solkattu. This rich and complex art form is regarded as one of the most sophisticated and elaborate rhythmic systems in the world.

Recorded by renowned performers Charu Hariharan, Akshay Anantapadmanabhan, and MT Aditya, this pack captures the essence of Konnakol with precision and artistry.
