Konnakol

Konnakol is an ancient south-Indian classical art form involving the “vocal expression” of percussive syllables (solkattu), to a meter (tala) that is counted by hand. This unique characteristic is what makes Konnakol the only percussive artform that is powerful enough to connect all forms of percussion in the world. This program aims to teach the essential rhythmic concepts and calculations in the language of Konnakol, and extrapolate them to the context of global music.
