The performing arts of Kerala � Kathakali, Kutiyattam, Mohiniattam, and other forms of dance and drama � occupy a vital space in India�s creative imagination. All these performances move to a music that is supported by Kerala�s indigenous musical instruments � a variety of drums and clappers, as well as a smaller number of pipes and strings. Quite a few of these instruments are also found associated with rituals and festivities in the temples of Kerala: the Itakka, Chenta, Timila, Milavu, Suddha Maddalam � all membranophones; the aerophones Kurum Kulal and Kompu Vadyam; and Ilattalam, an idiophone. Notes on these instruments by a devoted student of the performing arts of Kerala are put together in this small volume � the first English-language publication on the subject. Illustrations of each instrument accompany the texts. The author brings to his task the benefit of an intimate knowledge of each instrument, acquired through years of fieldwork, as well as an erudition born of his immersion in literary classics in Tamil, Malayalam and Sanskrit. The pieces here are a source too of the folklore associated with Kerala�s musical instruments. The chief strength of the book, however, lies in the precise information it provides on each instrument � its dimensions, materials, construction, playing techniques, methods of training, and, not least, its music. Apart from musicians and musicologists, this book would interest students of Kerala�s folklore and anthropology, as well as general readers with a special interest in the arts and culture of Kerala.
