Chennai: Prakash Singh comes from the Lok Calakars community in Jaisalmer.
For generations, they have sang the numbers of Rajasthani’s people at marriage, at birth of a child, and to tourists who flock to the country.
But, recently, musicians enter the WhatsApp to make songs directly, feeling feeling and personal for the generous communities in Chennai.
For the group, it is a type of return: a city of NGOs has helped him out of naming, and now these are young people about what they know best: singing Rajasthani’s songs.
“You have stood above us during a period of sadness …
There are some good people in this world who understand the suffering of the poor and stand beside them,” The Turbaned Singer Croons in Hindi, played Harmonium, while other musicians played dholak.
The song caught a bond that was forged between Aram Porul based in Chennai, an organization that worked for those who needed, and a group of Jaisalmer-based musicians.
The group, who struggled to survive during a pandemic, is now standing up after some assistance from Aram Proul.
And they are now working to establish a music school where they can teach Hindi numbers so that their children can get a broader platform to show off their skills.
“There are around 50 Lok Kalakar families in the village of Modha, from where they came from,” said Prakash.
“Work dries out during the lip.
During the national locking last year, many people helped us but this year, it has been difficult.
At one point, we did not have a hundred rupees ₹” when someone referred it to the founder of Arama Prasanna,.
“They want a ration a month to support 50 families.
We arrange the shop there to provide ration kits – Atta, oil, turmeric, chili powder etc.
– and bear costs,” Prasanna said.
The crisis immediately passed but Prakash now wanted to establish a school for small children from their community.
“They grow listening to Rajasthani folk music but I want to teach them Hindi, and Bollywood songs because there are wider audiences for music like that.
They are naturally talented and I want to train them and register them for the reality show when they have helped launch The career of many singers, “said Prakash, who once again reached out the help of Aram porul.
“We need some harmonium and dholak, and a small room where children can practice.
I just want to make sure that the next generation doesn’t have to fight like us.” Prasanna said they raised funds for school.
“We hope to help them establish a school immediately because it doesn’t require a large amount of money,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prakash continued to move the dhrips and play the only harmonium they had outside the mud hut when the children raised their voices in the song.
