This writer’s earliest tryst with folk music was witnessing a group of traditional Rajasthani musicians enchant a group of tourists at an intimate setting in a quaint town in western Rajasthan. In the chilly desert air, amidst swirling winds, the raw, earthy melodies of the musicians and their instruments stood out like a refreshing oasis, leaving an unforgettable mark on our memories. As folk music gains worldwide recognition and adapts its sound for newer audiences and their tastes, musicians Sadiq Khan, Asin Khan and Zakir Khan aka SAZ are determined to bring the same timeless rustic essence to a seemingly unusual setting, a Mumbai club.
Over a short email conversation with the trio from the Langa community it becomes clear that they are no rookies at performing for unfamiliar crowds. The musicians have travelled across the globe for performances and collaborations in the USA, Italy, France and China. “For us, our traditions form the foundation and the continuing inspiration for our performances and original compositions. Even when we collaborate with world artistes across genres, our focus remains on doing justice to the folk traditions of Rajasthan,” the artistes share.
