Decoding Indian Classical Music: The Gamaka Box RevolutionIn this captivating talk, Mr. Ramesh explores the profound differences between Indian classical music and Western music, highlighting the unique aural-oral tradition of Indian music, learned through rote memory under a guru’s guidance, in contrast to Western music’s reliance on written notations.
