The Manganiyar Seduction

At the Attakkalari festival last month, I got to watch the brilliant ‘Manganiyar Seduction’…it was an absolutely mind-blowing musical performance…like I had never seen or imagined.

The long traffic jams we endured en route to the venue were worth it!

The troupe hails from the state of Rajasthan in India & have dazzled audiences around the world – if they perform in your city, don’t miss it!

1940-50

India’s Hindi music, classics from mid 1940-50…

Lambi Judai – Reshma

Reshma, is a folk singer from Pakistan, who is very popular in India. Music knows no barriers!

This particular song was a part of an Indian movie, Hero. Soulful & beautiful.

Ghazal – Jagjit Singh

This song is from the Hindi movie Arth.

Written by Kaifi Azmi & sung by Jagjit Singh, one of India’s most famous Ghazal singers.

Tum itna jo muskura rahe ho

The gist of the song is a man singing to his beloved –

You are smiling so much

What is the sorrow that you are hiding behind this smile?

Tears in your eyes and a smile on your lips…
