Manganiyars
From obscure villages around western Rajasthan, comes a musical tradition that has digested and belted out melodies all the way from Persia and Punjab for several centuries. The Manganiyars are the folk artists of Udaipur and their music has been passed on through generations. Their music is complex and secular, its roots spread wide, though chiefly in Hindustani classical music, but its delivery is not bound by the set rules of this tradition. The Manganiyar splits notes into improbable fractions, keeps beat with his eyes, shifts tempo as suddenly and effortlessly as a gust of desert wind moves a dune.
