In this episode, I will be diving into the impact of animal sounds on the Tamil music industry of south India. With the amazing experience of my dad, we will be breaking down the integration and development of animal sounds in music, from the abrupt bray of a bull, to the seamless integration of a bird call into a catchy beat. I hope you enjoy this episode and learn more about the impact of nature; which essentially gave rise to music, and why it is so valuable to world music!

Navarathri Narration: A Hindu Folktale told by Utisht Ramakrishnan

Hello and welcome to Musicall! This podcast aims to connect people all around the world through the art of world music. The world is starting to emerge out of the COVID - 19 pandemic and during this past year, the experience of singing together and connecting people has been greatly compromised due to restrictions on certain activities. In this podcast, I hope to help people gain interest in music all over the world and bring a modern perspective to what are believed to be “ancient” art forms of music, as well as modern music in order to explore how music had evolved throughout history.
