Indian Music
North Indian classical music ensembles have only a handful of players.
Most instruments are played while seated on the floor. There are
usually the same three elements:
● soloist - either a singer or an instrumentalist playing the melody
● percussion - usually tabla
● drone - usually a tanpura, harmonium or electronic box
