Indian Classical – Alap

Indian Classical – Alap is a free Android app developed by Times Music. It falls under the lifestyle category and offers a complete collection of Indian Classical Music featuring legendary artists.

Indian classical music is the art music of the Indian subcontinent, with its origins dating back to the Vedas, the oldest scriptures in the Hindu tradition. Hindustani music, predominantly found in North India, encompasses various classical and semi-classical forms such as Khyal and Dhrupad. The music is influenced by foreign elements in terms of instruments, style of presentation, and ragas like Hijaz Bhairav, Bhairavi, Bahar, and Yaman. It also incorporates folk tunes like Kafi and Jaijaiwanti.

The app provides a wide range of instrumental and vocal performances. The performance usually begins with a slow elaboration of the raga, known as alap, followed by a bandish or gat. In instrumental music, the alaap may be followed by a rhythmic piece called "jod" and a fast-tempo piece called "jhala." The app features renowned artists such as Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, and many more.

With Indian Classical – Alap, users can immerse themselves in the rich tradition of Indian classical music, exploring the diverse sounds and melodies created by legendary artists.
