मनजीत गटावर सक्रीय झाल्यापासून गटावरील सगळेच "संगीतप्रेमी" एकदम जागरूक झाले आहेत.उदयच्या रोजच्या अप्रतिम गीतांना इतके दिवस मनातल्या मनात "दाद" देणारे आता चक्क संगीतावर भाष्य करू लागले आहेत.ही आनंदाची गोष्ट आहे.शांतारामने कवितेत म्हटल्याप्रमाणे "दिलकी खिचडी पकाये मंजीत दिलवाला" या खिचडीत "साधू वाणी डाले पानी और मिर्च मसाला" या काव्यपंक्तीप्रमाणे आज "Manjit's Manjinopathy - थप्पा" सादर करतो.

"थप्पा(Tappa)"

1.Tappa is a semi-classical genre inspired by the folk music of Punjab, especially songs sung by camel riders in that region.

2.It was first introduced to classical music in the 18th century and has since enjoyed varying degrees of popularity in different regions and at different times.

3.Tappa compositions are generally based on themes of love and separation and are popularly composed in light ragas that express these moods (Kafi, Khamaj, Jhinjhoti, Des, Bhairavi, and so on).

4.One of the distinct features of a tappa presentation is the use of vigorously executed choppy taans. 

5.Taans are mathematical sequences of notes performed at rapid speeds.

6.In a traditional taan, all the notes are of equal length, but in Tappa,the taans comprise notes of varying lengths, which gives them their trademark choppy effect.
