Thumri
(重定向自Thumris)
Thumrī (Devanagari: ठुमरी, Nastaliq: ٹھمری, Bengali:ঠুমরী) is a common genre of semi-classical Indian music. The term 'thumri' is derived from the Hindi verb thumakna which means "to walk with dancing steps so as to make the ankle-bells tinkle." The form is, thus, connected with dance, dramatic gestures, mild eroticism, evocative love poetry and folk songs of Uttar Pradesh, though there are regional variations.
