Bhopa Family of Traditional Rajasthani Musicians, Pushkar 2009

We met this wonderful family of musicians through our new friend, Jesus from Spain. After spending the last two years traveling India to capture the stories of 100 Indian families (www.100familiasindias.com), he met the Bhopas in Pushkar and decided to help them procure the funding to replace their much needed new tent for the coming winter. For a donation he, and they, offered us this private show in a tea shop tent outside of the campgrounds at this year's Pushkar (Camel) Fair. What a treat!

This is sooo great! I often say this so I will repeat once more: Indians are the only people on Earth who didn't forgot what music is for.

This is beauitful seeing how they can enjoy music and play it themselfs.

In Western world only people who play instruments are narrow-minded musicians trained in academies and self-thought guitarists who think that the faster you play the better you are.

Other are rare examples.

I want to go to India one day and play along these remarkable people.
