Basics Of carnatic Music Continued..........

TALA
        As i've already told you tala being the most prominent platform of music it has seven Groups as follows(Courtesy Wikipedia). If you are really not getting tala it is just the beat the singers maintain by flipping their hands up and down
  • Dhruva tala
  • Matya tala
  • Rupaka tala
  • Jhampa tala
  • Triputa tala
  • Ata tala
  • Eka tala
These seven groups are however a critical combinaton of three angas and they are
  • Laghu
  • Dhrtam
  • Anudhrtam
Anudhrtan is a single beat.
Dhrtam is combination of two beats in a cycle.
Laghu is combination of 3, 4, 5,etc beats in a cycle
Tala is something that has to be maintained through experience so just now don't get fuzzy about this.
