Talab Khan's Story
Born into the rich musical traditions of the Manganiyars, Talab Khan has been captivating audiences with his mesmerizing voice and soulful harmonium melodies since early age. Talab’s journey into the world of Rajasthani Folk Music began at the age of 4 under the guidance of his family and esteemed teachers from the Mirasi traditions. Immersed in this enchanting musical heritage, he continues to explore and preserve the timeless folk music of Rajasthan. Specializing in traditional Rajasthani folk songs, Talab Khan’s performances are a celebration of Rajasthan’s cultural legacy. His powerful voice and masterful harmonium skills bring to life the rich stories and vibrant rhythms of his ancestors, enchanting listeners and transporting them to a world of timeless musical traditions.
Together with Talab Khan and his fellow musicians, Savita Kalbeliya takes the stage, her graceful dance giving a visual dimension to the powerful melodies. Kalbeliya women compose songs and are known as the best dancers of the Thar Desert. Originally, the traditional occupation of this nomadic caste was catching snakes, trading snake venom for medicinal purposes, and training snakes to dance to the sound of the pungi flute. Today, as snake hunting is banned in India, this charismatic community primarily consists of dancers, musicians, and singers. The dancers wear black, swirling skirts that are colorfully embroidered and adorned with mirrors. The anthropologist
Mona Klöckner, who personally knows the band members and has conducted research on their hereditary musical culture, will host the evening, translate and answer questions from the audience.
