Carnatic Music
In this second episode, Anoushka Shankar takes us on a journey through the classical music of south India, or Carnatic music.
In the second of this three-part series, Anoushka Shankar explores the classical music of south India, or 'Carnatic music', and how it differs from its northern or 'Hindustani' counterpart. She helps us to understand the importance of the Melakarta (the complex scales) in the music, how it's much more composition based than the northern tradition and the role her father, Ravi Shankar, played in popularising Carnatic music across the whole of India.
Steeped in the traditions of the music, and a sitarist herself, Anoushka Shankar is our guide to the stories, theories and recordings of Indian classical music and what makes it so rich.
