And so it was quite a revelation when the \u201c<strong>Sounds Of The Desert<\/strong>\u201d arrived in Mumbai on January 25, 2019 at the Royal Opera House, under the aegis of ShowCase Events\u2019 Nanni Singh.<\/p>\n<p>Expectations remained high, after all the programme was being curated and directed by the man behind the brilliancy of the annual folk and fusion event, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/paddy-fields-provides-a-classical-focus\/\"><em>Paddy Fields<\/em><\/a>, Atul Churamani. Yes, the excellence of this event maintained his average as the talent of Kutle Khan and his troupe were showcased across one and a half hours of invigorating Rajasthani melodies, with hand-clapping to the beats a norm with the capacity audience, rather than an exception. While it was obvious that the genre has been passed through the generations by oral tradition, it is the simple, acoustic-based music that combines such special events and people into a magical sound status. And so the programme progressed with a combination of Western instrumentation \u2013 guitar, keyboards, and drums \u2013 combining with the traditional [harmonium, sarangi, dholak, nagara, and sarangi] as the set list ran through innumerable folk songs, probably having no known author, and having simply evolved in sound through the years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-564 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"339\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sudeepaudio.com\/saundcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kutle-Khan-and-his-troupe-live-at-Royal-Opera-House-in-Mumbai-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/a>But the fascination as a listener was two-fold: first, the vocals of Kutle Khan and his arrangements, making those traditional songs his very own by ushering a modern era of Rajasthani folk and, second, the amazing instruments that I do not reminisce having heard before; for instance, the <em>khartaal<\/em>, an ancient percussion instrument mainly used in devotional\/folk songs consisting of a pair of thin, hard wooden pieces, and deriving its name from the Hindi words \u201ckara\u201d, which means hand, and \u201ctaal\u201d, which means clapping. Ably supporting Kutle Khan on the <em>khartaal<\/em> was his brother, Gafur, who was equally adept in playing the <em>morchang<\/em>, another unique instrument, also known as a \u201cjaw harp\u201d, consisting of a metal ring in the shape of a horseshoe with two parallel forks forming the frame, and a metal tongue in the middle, between the forks, fixed to the ring at one end and free to vibrate at the other. The <em>morchang<\/em> is often used as a percussion instrument in <em>lok geet<\/em> (folk music). Then there was the <em>Algozha<\/em>, performed by Shakoor Khan, consisting of two joined beak flutes \u2013 one for melody, the second for drone \u2013 tied together, with each breath of air \u2013 as it were \u2013 creating a lively, swinging rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>But the complete package went beyond just the vocalising, arrangements, and instrumentation, as the number of jugalbandis continued to provide enthrallment, the synchronisation of the <em>nagara<\/em> among three musicians being exceptional, the effective call-and-response presentation between Kutle Khan and his backing vocalists, and the intermittent appearance of two traditional Rajasthani, <em>Ghoomar<\/em> dancers \u2013 a mother and daughter representing the Sapera family \u2013 after the interval, including featuring an unbelievable sequence when two finger rings were picked up by using eyes!<\/p>\n<p>With marvellous lighting, fine sound, appropriate visuals in the background, and adept mastering of ceremonies courtesy Mihir Joshi, \u201cSounds From The Desert\u201d was not only an appropriate introduction to Rajasthani folk, but an outstanding beginning to a musical new year. If you missed this memorable event, ShowCase Events promises similar performances throughout the year. Check them out then, and revel in the uniqueness of the rocking sounds of Rajasthani folk \u2018n\u2019 soul!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each country has their own folk music but here, in India, each State has its own.
