KKSongs Khol Guide
(Portuguese
translation by Sri David Britto prabhu from Brazil)
Welcome
to the KKSongs Khol Guide. Ever since the first mridanga class of Spring 2006
took place, mridanga handouts and recordings associated have not only assisted
the class students, but also assisted music enthusiasts and students outside of
class. In attempts to keep class materials separate from our kind web visitors,
the pages are being redone in order to allow a more suitable presentation.
