KKSongs Talamala
Welcome to the KKSongs Talamala page! This page will
serve as a database for the Indian rhythmic cycles, known as talas. Each page
will contain detailed information about the tala, the
notation using tabla bols, and songs which are found on this website bearing
those talas. For further help in understanding these talas, please visit one of
the two guides for rhythmic instruments.
If you wish to submit a new tala or corrections,
please visit the Contact KKSongs page found on the homepage.
