Description

Journey through the songs and soundscapes of the Awadh region of North India. Journey through the lush soundscape of the Awadh region of North India, the heritage home to myriad love ballads, from the sensuous Thumri, to the lilting Dadra, the intoxicating Ghazal, to the songs of the seasons (Kajri, Chaiti, Hori and Jhoola). Savor this delectable bouquet from one of its leading exponents, Pooja Goswami Pavan, backed by a stellar team on the Sarangi (Pankaj Mishra), Harmonium (Kedar Naphade) and Tabla (A. Pavan). And experience the impact these songs have had in Hindi films of the Golden Era (1950s – 70s). This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
