Bol (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bhol)
Template:Short description A bol is a standardized mnemonic syllable used in North Indian classical music to define the tala, or rhythmic pattern.[1] Bol is derived from the Hindi word bolna (बोलना), which means "to speak."[2] One who learns to play the tabla or pakhavaj (or pakhawaj) drum is taught to recite the rhythms as bols, which can be quite complex.[3]
Bol is analogous to konnakol, which is used to recite rhythms for the mridangam drum in Carnatic music, which is South Indian classical music.
