Just letting you know that this coming Tuesday 6th December, on BBC 1, you can catch the Imagine documentary series which will be covering Rajasthan and all it’s amazingly rich heritage.
This is from the BBC’s website; “The arts series takes a road trip round the desert state of Rajasthan, meeting musicians whose existence is under threat from the new India. They meet Bhopa bards who recite four-night-long epics in front of huge hand-painted scrolls, saffron-clad, chillum-smoking sisters, cross-dressers and gypsy dancers who literally bend over backwards to pick up rupees.”
This episode will also cover some of the work I have been doing with Dharohar, the Rajasthani music project I have been involved in for the past 4 years, and our performance at the this years Rajasthan International Folk Festival (RIFF)…which was brilliant! So, if you can, please watch BBC 1, 10.35pm this coming Tuesday 6th December.
