WHAT DOES KARNATAK MUSIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Karnatak music

Carnatic music

Carnatic music or Karnāṭaka Saṃgīta is a system of music commonly associated with the southern part of the Indian subcontinent, with its area roughly confined to four modern states of India: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. It is one of two main sub-genres of Indian classical music that evolved from ancient Hindu traditions; the other sub-genre being Hindustani music, which emerged as a distinct form because of Persian and Islamic influences in North India. The main emphasis in Carnatic music is on vocal music; most compositions are written to be sung, and even when played on instruments, they are meant to be performed in gāyaki style. Although there are stylistic differences, the basic elements of śruti, swara, rāga, and tala form the foundation of improvisation and composition in both Carnatic and Hindustani music. Although improvisation plays an important role, Carnatic music is mainly sung through compositions, especially the kriti – a form developed between the 14th and 20th centuries by composers such as Purandara Dasa and the Trinity of Carnatic music.
