Summary:
“The western music encourages usage of falsettos, which gives the voice an airy and flaky texture. Nagpur: Music of a region is reflected by its culture and belief of the people. We Indians believe in the cyclical ‘yugas’, maybe that's why ‘taal’ in our classical music is also a progression of beats and repeats itself after the last ‘bol’. Whereas, the westerners have a linear concept of time according to their Abrahamian literature which is rightly reflected in their style of writing music notations in a line, said Anuja Kamat , performing artiste and Internet sensation from Mumbai.She was in the city to deliver a lecture on ‘Appreciating Indian Classical Music’ and to draw parallel between Indian classical music and western tunes. The diction changes, but notes and ‘swaras’ remain the same.”(?Reporting by Bhagyashree Kashyap).
