The Essence of Carnatic Music
Carnatic music is one of the oldest systems of music in the world. Originating from South India, it is known for its intricate rhythms and expressive melodies. It is primarily a vocal-centric form, though instruments like the violin, mridangam, and flute accompany singers to enhance the performances.
