▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ From Rajasthan, a state in northwestern India, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ comes the 11-member music and dance troupe Musafir. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Their 1999 North American debut CD, Dhola Maru, is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ comprised of nine cuts that touch upon a variety of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musical styles and genres. From everyday folk tunes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ about happy babies and weddings gone awry to sacred ▓▌
▓████▓▌ qawwali music (often associated with the Sabri ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Brothers and the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Musafir delivers each song with power and passion. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Along with Hindustani and Roma (gypsy) songs, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lullaby, love song, and sound collage (which makes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ use of telephone conversations and market sounds) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are also found on the eclectic CD. Detailed liner ▓▌
▓████▓▌ notes accompany Dhola Maru. They provide ▓▌
▓████▓▌ information about the history and cultural makeup ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Rajasthan, photos and biographical information ▓▌
▓████▓▌ about each member of the band, and a description of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ each track. A captivating CD, Dhola Maru provides ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the listener with a glimpse into the culture and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music from a majestic, though often overlooked, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ region of the world. (from allmusic.com) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Situated in northwestern India is the state of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rajasthan (which literally means "the land of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ kings"). Home to over 44 million people, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rajasthan's most well-known geographical feature is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the vast Thar desert, while its most well-known ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musical ensemble is Musafir. Musafir is made up of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 11 performers. They perform music that is both ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scared and profane, and usually delve into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ traditional Qawwali, Hindustani, and Roma (gypsy) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songs. Singing that borders on the ecstatic takes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ center stage in many of their tunes. Establishing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the sonic foundation for these vocals are the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sounds of many instruments. They include the dhol ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (a barrel drum that is played with sticks), the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ aloogoza (a double flute), the harmonium (a compact ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pump keyboard originally introduced by Western ▓▌
▓████▓▌ missionaries), the dholak (a wooden drum with two ▓▌
▓████▓▌ heads), the kartals (wooden clappers), the pungi (a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ large reed flute), and the saarangi (a bowed lute ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that has both melodic and sympathetic strings). The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ makeup of Musafir reflects the rich cultural ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tapestry that exists in Rajasthan, a region that is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ home to Muslims, Hindus, and Sufis (among others). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ For example, two dancers in Musafir are Saperas, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the so-called nomadic "Gypsies of Rajathan," while ▓▌
▓████▓▌ four of the musicians are Muslim Langas. Musafir's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ other members include Muslim Manghaniyars, Hindus, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and a classically trained Hindustani singer. This ▓▌
▓████▓▌ diversity is reflected in the unique fusion of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sounds that the band as a whole is able to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ generate. Besides turning out two CDs (Gypsies of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rajasthan and Dhola Maru), Musafir is also known ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for giving impressive live shows. For over five ▓▌
▓████▓▌ years, the members of Musafir ù a word which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ literally means trip, travel, or pilgrimage -- have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dedicated themselves to a demanding international ▓▌
▓████▓▌ touring schedule that has included more than 100 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performances per year on four continents and in 30 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ countries. These concerts allow the band to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ showcase individual soloists and the propulsive ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rhythms that make their music so danceable. As ▓▌
▓████▓▌ energetic as their live music is, Musafir does not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ limit their shows to sound alone. It is not unusual ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for the band to collaborate with acrobats, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ contortionists, and dancers. ▓▌
