Description

Zamzama is a rapid, rolling ornamental technique that involves quick repetition or oscillation of a group of notes, creating a shimmering, undulating effect. It is more elaborate than a simple murki and adds a sense of richness and complexity to the melodic line. Zamzama is particularly associated with certain gharana styles and adds textural depth to improvisation.
