| | Music of India - Open Encyclopedia |
 | | The present musical style is derived from the traditional musical accompaniment to the folk dance of Punjab called by the same name, bhangra. | | | From them on, most of north India was under Islamic rule, and Hindustani music is the result of a fusion of Mughal, Arabic and Persian traditions with traditional Indian music. | | | Carnatic music, on the other hand, traces much of its contemporary concert repertoire to a series of composers and musicologists in the 15th and 16th centuries including Govindacharya, Venkatamakhin, Purandaradasa, Tyagaraja and Muttusvami Dikshitar. |

| | On Musicians' Speech About Music: Musico-Linguistic Discourse of Tabla Players |
| | This paper is a brief examination of how musicians speak about music, specifically the musico-linguistic discourse of tabla players from the Punjab region of Pakistan and India. | | | This form of communication was primarily "musical" insofar as the semantic content of the conversation was formed outside of speech, and was largely ccomplished through the drum language that tabla players employ known as bol. | | | Examples of musical indexicality combined with musical iconicity are Yogesh Samsi's performance of a traditional genre, the rela, the structure of which points to the sound of a train but is not intended to be a literal representation. |
