Finding Their Place: MERASI MUSICIANS FROM DESERT RAJASTHAN

Music & Advocacy: “NO MORE MANGANIYAR (BEGGAR) WE ARE MERASI (MUSICIANS)” 

For 38 generations, the Merasi have performed and maintained a vibrant folk music legacy that is on the verge of extinction in modern India. Don’t miss this chance to be enthralled by impassioned artists who play a variety of unique instruments direct from the old camel caravan routes of the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India.
