Carnatic Instrumental

Carnatic Instrumental music is a genre of South Indian classical music. It is based on the melodic and rhythmic patterns of Carnatic music, which is one of the oldest systems of music in the world. It is characterized by its use of complex rhythmic patterns, improvisation, and melodic ornamentation. It is typically performed on traditional Indian instruments such as the veena, mridangam, ghatam, and tabla. It is often accompanied by vocalists, but can also be performed as a solo instrumental piece.
