In Hindustani music, a Tala is a cyclic rhythm pattern with a fixed number of beats (matras).
Information Booster:
· The tala consisting of seven matras is Rupak.
· Rupak Tala is the most prominent and widely used 7-matra cycle in Hindustani music.
· It has a distinctive structure where the sam (first beat) falls on a silent wave (khali), starting on the 4th matra of its vibhag pattern, which is commonly felt as 3+2+2.
· It is frequently used in vocal music (Khayal, light classical) and instrumental performances.
Additional Knowledge:
· Dadra is a 6-matra tala (3+3), popular in Thumri, Dadra, and ghazals.
· Teevra (or Tivra) is a 7-matra tala, but it is extremely rare in contemporary practice.
· While it exists in theory, Rupak is the de facto standard 7-matra tala. Some sources list Teevra, but its usage is minimal compared to Rupak.
· Keherva (or Kaharva) is a very common 8-matra tala (4+4), used in light classical, folk, and devotional music.
