Workshop: Konnakol // Center for World Music

In the organizer's words:

In this workshop we will immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of Konnakol, the traditional rhythmic language of South India. Konnakol makes it possible not only to drum, clap or stomp rhythms, but also to form, understand and creatively shape them with the voice. This opens up a unique approach to a complex yet naturally accessible rhythm system that transcends cultural boundaries.

The course offers an introduction to the South Indian understanding of rhythm and teaches basic exercises such as Teka, Muktayam and Korvai in various meters. This is complemented by body percussion and creative approaches for practicing and teaching.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who would like to experience, understand and playfully deepen rhythm more intensively.
