Ragam Tanam Pallavi
Ragam Tanam Pallavi is a classical music form in Carnatic music, primarily performed in South India. It consists of three main sections: Ragam, which showcases the raga or melodic framework; Tanam, a rhythmic improvisation; and Pallavi, the thematic refrain that is elaborated upon.
The structure allows musicians to explore the raga's nuances and express creativity through improvisation. Typically performed by a vocalist or instrumentalist, it highlights the artist's skill and understanding of melody and rhythm, making it a significant aspect of Carnatic concerts.
