Enduring and resilient is the spirit of these people. Nature seems to sing with them.

padharo mahra desh.

welcome to my country.

[13chandru]

Happy to be doing what they like most, the digital revolution has not reached this place, so these people are happy with simple things of life.

[biggesthitter]

[rushik9998444455]

extra ordinary voice

[maharajp]

love the teamwork - beautiful!

[tanveer1908]

It is indeed beautiful... the langas and tha manganiars... but it seems as if they have mixed 2 songs: one is the welcoming song 'padharo mhaare des' and the other describes the camel decoration 'gorbandh' but it is still very beautiful

[ambindia]

beautiful voices. wish he had a sarangi instead of that dissonant keyboard.

[stickysubject]

Fantastic!!!! These are truly FREE people!! We could ALL learn a lot from this... this is how life was meant to be lived - not in a friggin' office building listening to some pointy haired boss!!!! These people have it all figured out.

[patrickinternational]

No...I don't mean to be disrespectful but I don't think you understand the conditions under which these people live. I think they were not in a good situation and not extremely free. It's a brutal life and perhaps it's best not to romanticize it too much. I took this video, these people are poor and deserve better from their government (although this is difficult in India). I think I would describe what I observed in this area of Rajasthan as quite fudal still, despite having democracy.

[stickysubject]

Right. I know what you mean. What I was talking about was the fact that even under the conditions you describe they can still get together and create such wonderful music. I believe they're free in their hearts and minds, which allows them to endure the unfortunate circumstances they're in. I do hope things change for them someday, but I admire their free spirit! Keep posting this wonderful stuff!

[miroyu]

to sing like this no matter what life one have you need high spirit . These people for sure heva such spirit. AMAZING!!! Thank you for posting

[swahem1]

LOVE the Song... SALUTE the Spirit.

I am so proud of aapno Rajasthan... brought tears to my eyes.

[angshu2909]

Forget about 'ratings' by commenters. People who complain about 'lack of ideal conditions' to enjoy themselves and bring that joy to others can take a look at this video for a lesson. It is a bonus that I found the music fine too, considering they were not performing at an A/C hall in front of formal audience.

[ibrahimhalildere]

This is an awful chorus.

[itsvivekhere]

Please understand they're fulltime day laborers living on maybe $2 a day who were never formally trained in Music. The beauty lies in their rendition of Maand, unrefined yet so mesmerizing. Trained singers know that Maand is not formally a Raag, however its sweetness and beauty transcend all definitions.

Other exquisite renditions have been sung by Mehdi Hassan, Ustad Naseer-ud-din Saami, Lata Mangeshkar and Vaani Jayram. Listen them as well. Each one is sweet in its own way.

[patrickinternational]

Actually they were not day laborers and they were trained in music passed down through generations. They are part of a musical caste - meaning this is their role in society for hundreds of years and they make music as a living. I think perhaps the chorus was not so good here because this was the entire family participating, including small small children. This was a way to get everyone involved and have a nice family time and welcome me.

[parul209]

[karan013]

Beautiful....

[itsvivekhere]

Having grown up in Rajasthan and having heard it so many times by many artists in many variations, I opine this is one of the most excellent renditions Maand (that is what it is called).

Patrick I cannot express my gratitude in words. My ears were yearning to listen songs in my mother tongue.

[lundan]
