Rabindra Sangeet (the musical canon composed by Rabindranath Tagore) relies on traditional Bengali percussion instruments that complement its emotive, lyrical texture.
Information Booster:
·
Shrikhol (Khol): A double-headed terracotta clay drum native to Bengal.
· It is the primary percussion instrument used to accompany Kirtan, Baul songs, and Rabindra Sangeet.
·
Ghatam, Mridangam, Chenda: Classical South Indian (Carnatic and Kerala temple) percussion instruments, not traditionally used in Rabindra Sangeet ensembles.
Additional Knowledge:
· Tagore incorporated both Hindustani classical Talas and indigenous folk rhythm patterns (
Kirtan-anga rhythms) into Rabindra Sangeet, for which the high-pitched, resonant tone of the
Shrikhol is uniquely suited.
