Indian Vocalists

Indian classical music has two distinct genres consisting of Hindustani classical music and Carnatic music. Hindustani Classical Music is the north Indian classical music tradition and it's believed to have evolved from 12th centuries AD onwards. Hindustani Classical Music is said to have been evolved out of a homogeneous amalgamation of different musical genres like the Vedic chant tradition, Persian tradition of Musiqi-e assil and existant folk music culture. Carnatic music, on the other hand, is the classical music tradition more dominant in the southern part of India.

 

This classical music genre is believed to have branched off from the Indian Hindustani music genre some time around the 12th century. The crucial focus is on vocal music in Carnatic classical music. Just like Hindustani classical, Carnatic music embodies the raga (the melodic formula) and the tala or the rhythmic cycles. India has been blessed with a number of renowned classical vocalists like Ananda Shankar, Tansen, Tyagaraja, Beghum Akhtar, Swathi Thirunal, Ghulam Ali Khan, Girija Devi and so on.
