What is Ghazal?
Ghazal, a prominent form of Hindustani classical music, is a poetic and melodic expression that has evolved over centuries in the Indian subcontinent. Originating from the Persian and Arabic traditions, Ghazal found its way into the rich tapestry of Indian music, especially during the medieval period. The term "Ghazal" itself refers to a poetic form characterized by rhyming couplets and themes of love, loss, and beauty.
In Hindustani music, Ghazal is known for its distinctive blend of classical and folk elements. The genre is characterized by its emotive lyrics, often exploring deep philosophical and romantic themes. Ghazal is typically performed with a light classical musical accompaniment, featuring instruments such as the tabla, harmonium, and occasionally the sitar or sarod.
