Music from the village
This week’s Tamil program we have a very special guest Ranganayaki who is from Kottakari village is giving us the essence of the village Music in Tamil Nadu. In villages where farming was the primary work, the ladies who work in the fields used to sing kulavai songs. Tamil music is sometimes categorised into Devotional, Classical and Popular Folk music. Rythms of popular folk music express a vitality which stems from the closeness of its contact with the life of the people.
