Songs of Love, Longing and Separation

The Langa and Manganiar are both hereditary musician communities from Western Rajasthan, and have a rich and varied musical repertoire handed down from generations. Songs of longing and separation are one of the most evocative of their repertoire, as is the case in many musical traditions of India. These range from romantic songs sung at weddings for the patrons, devotional songs pining for the divine lover, or those that are part of romantic ballads among others

An evening with Multan Khan Manganiar; Askar Khan Langa and Sardar Khan Langa (vocals & Sindhi sarangi); Firoz Khan Manganiar (vocal & dholak); and Ghewar Khan Manganiar (vocals & kamaicha)

Conceptualised and curated by Shubha Chaudhuri
