saaliskalan
Saaliskalan, also known as the Saalis scale, is a musical scale used in the traditional music of the Saalis people, an ethnic group from the Indian state of Kerala. The scale is characterized by its unique structure and is often used in devotional music and folk songs. It consists of seven notes, with the intervals between the notes being specific to the Saalis scale. The scale is typically played on traditional instruments such as the chenda, a double-headed drum, and the edakka, a frame drum. Saaliskalan is an integral part of the Saalis culture and is often performed during festivals and other cultural events. The scale is also taught to young Saalis musicians as part of their cultural heritage.
