Enjoy soulful folk music by the famous singer from Malwa - Shri Kaluram Bamania - at Jaivik Setu, along with the Organic Farmers' Market's food stalls at the JS Night Bazaar !!

About the singer:
Kaluram Bamaniya belongs to a vibrant tradition of singing bhakti poets such as Kabir, Gorakhnath, Bananath and Meera in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh !! From the early age of 9 years, Kaluram started accompanying his father, grandfather, and uncle on the 'manjiras' !! When he was 13 years old he ran away from home and went to Rajasthan, where he absorbed a wide repertoire of songs from an itinerant Mirasi singer Ram Niwas Rao for almost 2 years !! For Kaluram, singing Kabir is not merely a profession, it's a way of life !! "You get a lot of power, you get fearless by singing Kabir," he says !! He sings and plays the 5-stringed tambura and khadtaal and is accompanied by his troupe on the dholak, violin and manjiras !!

Kaluram has also been associated with the famous Kabir Project since 2002, and his music and interviews have featured in films (Had Anhadand Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein) and audio CDs (Kabir in Malwa) produced by OK Listen !! A CD of his songs is also part of a compilation created by Reena Ginwala, entitled 'Kabir Saamagri' !! (inputs from www.oklisten.com)
