Etymology

[edit]

Probably borrowed from Tamil பதம் (patam).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • enPR: pä′dəm′
  • Hyphenation: pa‧dam

Noun

[edit]

padam (plural padams)

  1. In Carnatic music, a type of short song, or the accompanying dance.
    • 2003, Phillip Zarrilli, Kathakali Dance-Drama: Where Gods and Demons Come to Play:
      This first delivery of the line of a padam might best be described as a 'pre-acting' of the line. It establishes the general mood.
    • 2007, Sruti:
      The best way to express our indebtedness to the Brinda-Muktha legacy would be to include a padam or javali in concerts
    • 2009, Richard Wolff, Theorizing the Local: Music, Practice, and Experience in South Asia and Beyond:
      The dance-drama students will have already learned their roles in the padams, without music, in group “sitting classes” in the dance-drama kal·aris; in theory they would have to perform these padams in sitting classes perfectly rehearsing with musicians in the colliyattam studio
