 Tamil music

Tamil music is sometimes categorised into Devotional, Classical and Popular Folk music. Rythms of popular folk music express a vitality which stems from the closeness of its contact with the life of a people.

The musical traditions that have developed amongst the Tamil people have also been influenced by the differing origins and languages of the peoples of the Indian sub continent. Carnatic classical music is related to speakers of the Dravidian group of languages.
