iNdIan ClaSsiCal iNsTrUmEnT: VEENAI

The veenai is one of the most ancient string instruments of India. It is almost similar to the Grecian harp. There are three types of veenai; saraswati veenai, rudra veenai and vichitra veenai. The highest quality veenai have the whole body
carved from a single block of wood, while the lower quality veenai is carved in three sections (the resonator,neck and head). Commonly, veenai has a large, round body with a thick, wide neck, the end of which is carved into the head of a dragon. A small resonator is attached to the underside of the neck. The veenai has 24 metal frets embedded in hardened Beeswax, mixed with charcoal powder. Melody is produced on four metal strings that run above the frets. These are stretched over a wide bridge that sits on the body of the veenai. Three other strings run alongside the neck of the instrument. These are used for maintaining time and for playing the drone. The performer, who sits cross-legged on the stage, rests the small resonator on the left lap. The fingers of the left hand are used to press, pull and glide on the frets, while the fingers of the right hand are used to pluck the strings. The saraswati veenai is made up of jackwood, 52" long, has 24 brass frets and 7 strings.Unlike north Indian instruments like the sitar, the Saraswati veenai has no sympathetic strings. It has only four playing strings and three drone strings (thalam). A major centre for the manufacture of the Saraswati veenai is in Thanjavur. The rudra veenai is also known as the been. The duration of these veenai's notes is incredibly long. The been is made of a body, a hollow tube made of teak wood, on which the strings are fixed at both ends. The bridge is a flat bridge, multiplying the depth of the note's wavelength. Veenai is an integral part of the rich Carnatic music in Thanjavur. Popularly known as Veena, Veenai bears relics to the rich religious and cultural history of the place. According to mythological legends, Goddess Saraswati is always seen to play musical instrument of veenai.

The indigenous peaple in amazons-indian

Indigenous people

Sawaddikap….. This week I want to talk about the indigenous people. As we know… these people are very unique and have mystic customs. Hum… for sure I will let you know about the indigenous people lived in Amazon-Indians.

Who are indigenous people?
The indigenous people can be describe any ethnic group of people who inhibit a geographic region with which they have the earliest known historical connection, alongside the more resents immigrants who have populated the region and may be greater in number.

The indigenous people in Amazon
As we know…... rainforest are bursting with life. There are many and many types of species of plants and animal live in rainforest, but not only that… people also live in the rainforest as their home…. Besides that, indigenous or native have lived in there for long times ago. . Many of these original peoples, such as the Cribs (after whom the Caribbean Sea is named) have disappeared completely. Others are only scattered remnants of what they once were. Various indigenous people of the Amazon are represented, including the Matis, Matsés-Mayoruna, Huaorani, Bora, Shipibos, Yagua, Marubo, Ticuna, Kayapó, Suyá, and Xingu Amazonian native tribes. Various ceremonies and rituals are illustrated, most importantly the Ceremony of Mariwin, Matsés-Mayoruna Poison Frog Ceremony, Dance of Queixada, Ritual of Capybara, Ticuna Indian Girl Puberty Rite of Passage, Marubo Ceremony of Aco, and the Kuarup (Kwarup) Ceremony of the Dead. Amazon is covered, as well as hunting with blowguns and curare.

In my questions, how do their lived? Ho3… let me answer that….
Although some indigenous people live much as we do, others still live much as did their ancestors thousands of years before them. These communities organize their daily lives differently than our culture. Their food, medicines and clothing come primarily from the forest. Besides hunting, gathering wild foods and fishing, the indigenous people also plant small gardens for the other sources of foods. They used method called shifting cultivation to plant their crops. Let me explain further about the shifting method.... first they clear a small area of land and burn it, and then they plant their crops to be used for food and medicines. After a few years later, the soil has become too poor to allow for more crops to grow and they move to a nearby unclear area. This land traditionally allowed regrowing for 10-50 years before it is farmed again. How the indigenous people doing to save their territory? Indigenous groups are beginning to fight for their land, most often through peaceful demonstrations. Such actions may cause them to be arrested or even to lose their lives, but they know that if they take no action, their land and culture could be lost forever.
