Dadra - Dadra (genre)

Dadra (genre)

In this context dadra is a light classical vocal form in Hindustani classical music, mostly performed in Agra and in Bundelkhand region. It was originally accompanied by dadra tala (from where the term for the genre was borrowed), but later dadra compositions are often found in other light talas (such as keherwa).

There have been some Bollywood songs as well based on the same for instance Madan Mohan (music director) composition -Lag Jaa Gale, a song from the movie Woh Kaun Thi.
