तबायफ Tayafā Ταμπαΐφ, ταβαΐφ (तबायफ, Tabaayaph, Ταμπαΐφ, ταβαΐφ, tayafaa,) 
[IN] - Συντάκτης: Laios, Sakis 
तबायफ / Tayafā, Tavayaph ή Tawaif
Περσική λέξη που σημαίνει χορεύτρια. Χορεύαν, τραγουδούσαν είδη Ţhumrī και Ghazal, ενδεχομένως πρόσφεραν και πιο προσωπικές υπηρεσίες. Μπορεί να τις καλούσαν σε θρησκευτικές γιορτές, αλλά και σε ιδιωτικές. Από την περίοδο της αγγλικής κτήσης της χώρας είναι γνωστές και ως Bai.

Εμπλουτισμός του αποσπάσματος: "Κάθε ράγκα έχει ανιούσα και κατιούσα μορφή (που μπορεί να διαφέρει) καθορισμένα μελίσματα, χαρακτηριστικές μελωδικές φράσεις και συγκεκριμένη ώρα της μέρας για εκτέλεση. Τέλος, έχει μια κυρίαρχη διάθεση (rasa) και δύο βασικές νότες, μια κύρια που συνοδεύει τη μελωδική κίνηση και μια δευτερεύουσα συνήθως μια 4η ή μια 5η ψηλότερα." από το σχολικό βιβλίο μουσικής της β' γυμνασίου. | |

Draft performance & video by Sakis Laios This is a Kayada (theme & development) in Roopaka Taala, which was given to me by Pt. Ram Kumar Mishra in summer 2012. A few months later, this is what I've managed to do so far... Initially, this was a one-shot video, out of which I've just selected four parts and glued together. Then, I pasted the text with the composition and designed the Taala Circle on the top left for visual reference.
