Varnam by Laasya

Laasya is a dance group based in Germany presenting Classical Indian dance styles as Bharatha Natyam, Kuchipudi, Mohini Aattam as well as modern dance types as Bollywood and Semiclassical items. A varnam is a relatively long piece and can range from 30 minutes to up to nearly an hour or 40-50 min. The patterns in a varnam are considered to be characteristic patterns of a particular raga or scale. Varnams are considered the most complex of the vocal exercises in Carnatic Music. They are designed to help develop voice culture and proper control of rhythm. Indeed, varnams are often practiced in double and triple speeds and proper rhythmic control (tala) must be kept.
