Tala-Maddale  (English, Paperback, unknown)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tala-Maddale is an ancient form of art from coastal and malnad regions of Karnataka and northern Kerala state of India. It is very popular in Uttara Kannada, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Shimoga districts of Karnataka and Kasaragod district of Kerala. It is a derived form of Yakshagana-a classical dance or musical form of art from the same region. A typical Tala-Maddale show consists of veteran artists sitting in a circular fashion along with a Bhagavata (the singer, with \"Tala\" or pair of small hand cymbals) and a \"Maddale\" (a type of drum) player.
