He shyam sunder rajasa manmohana
Vinavuni sanagte tuj, Jau de mala partuni ||

Gaav gokul door rahe door yamuna neer wahe ...(2)
Harwale mi kase maz, Chaalale kuthe ghanwani || 1 ||

Pawricha soor bhidla majasi maza visar padla ...(2)
Nakalata paaule mam, Rahili ithe thabakuni || 2 ||

Paan jali salasale ka? bhiwaviti re lakh shanka ...(2)
Tharathare baware man, Sangati sakhi nach kuni || 3 ||

WORLD MUSIC

RASA is a Sanskrit term meaning "sap," "essence" or "fluid" and in the spiritual tradition, the emotional or aesthetic impression of a work of art.
I am an independent artiste from South Africa. My lineage extends to my forefathers from India hence the dynamic Indian traditional influence in my music style.

In RASA I have rendered my voice to compositions based on praise of the Divine. The lyrics are by 15th and 16th century poets Surdas, Kabirdas, Raidas, Mirabai, Chandrasakhi and Adi Shankaracarya an early 8th century Indian philosopher and theologian.

The mood ranges from soft melodious to upbeat and peppy.

Ghat Ghat Mein Panchi Bolta

The story of Kalbeliyas is an example of how the changes in society and culture influence traditional musicians and their lifestyle. From a region of Barmer in Rajasthan origins a nomad tribe of Gypsies called Kalbeliyas, which were traditionally known as snake charmers. They used to remove serpents from houses and trade snake venom. Women used to accompany men on their way of trade from house to house, as they begged for alms while dancing and singing. They used to give public shows as well, which included various snake tricks. Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 brought a ban on snake performances so Kalbeliyas had to transform their shows – girls replaced snakes.
Mohini Devi group – representative of nowadays Kalbeliyas is an ensemble of about seven musicians who did not receive any formal education, but were instead learning music from an early age from their guru Kalunath Kalbeliya. They have gained international recognition and many of the dancers lived, performed and even taught this style abroad. In India Kalbeliyas are invited mostly for weddings, cultural programs and festivals. Mohini Devi group is also proficient at many other dances like Bhavai, Chari, Ghummar, Terah Taali and add on elements of fire shows and acrobatics in their performance.
Spheres of Kalbeliyas act are divided: men plays instruments and women dance. The main instrument is Been – an Indian woodwind instrument originally used to hypnotize snakes. It’s both plaintive and seductive tones are accompanied by beats of Dhap and Dafli, creating very energetic and compelling rhythms. Dancers wear traditional black ankle-length skirt and top. Both are richly embellished with colorful strips and complemented with beautiful jewelry made from tiny pearls and silver hangings. Outfit completes a dupatta – a long loose flowing stole pinned to dancers’ heads. Kalbeliya dancers spinning fast, swaying their hips, swirling tassels and shawl can mesmerize viewer for long hours
