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.
