The Hindi Song

by David Courtney working tools

The geet may, or may not be con­si­dered a distinct style of song.  The word “geet” ac­tually means “song”.  How­ever, there is a tendency to use the term for many of the lighter styles which do not fit the rigid classification of the more classical forms.  The geet need not be based upon a rag.  It is us­ually set to the lighter tals.
