About this Item

Title

  • Soumya Chakraverty & Devapriya Nayak: Traditional Hindustani Music from Virginia

Summary

  • This Homegrown concert with Soumya Chakraverty and Devapriya Nayak featured the usage of traditional Hindu string and percussion instruments. The sarod is a fretless stringed instrument with a skin head like a banjo and an extended air chamber under the fingerboard. These features give the Sarod a unique and clearly identifiable depth of sound. The sarod is believed to have its origins in the Afghan Rabab, a smaller stringed, lute-style instrument played while marching or riding into battle. The tabla is the best known classical Indian percussion instrument, consisting of a pair of hand drums capable of a wide variety of sounds.
