❖ ABOUT THE TABLA & LEHRA ❖
The Tabla is a percussion instrument widely used in Indian Classical music both as a solo instrument and as an accompaniment to vocal or instrumental music. When played as a solo instrument, the tabla is accompanied (usually on the harmonium or sarangi) by a continuous cyclical musical phrase or riff called the "Lehra" or "Nagma" (ostinato in western music) that keeps track of the "aavartan" or rythmic cycle in the chosen "taal".

It provides accurate as well as pleasing lehra accompaniment for a wide variety of taals and raags on the harmonium, violin or the flute.
