The Banjara, a group of traditional music, consisting of eight excellent musicians and dancers, all hail from the Thar desert. Heirs of ... Tout » an ancient culture, today, under the direction of Kamal Kant, himself a musician and a dancer who has been living in France for over a decade, they are the ambassadors of the great Banjara tradition which stands at the cross roads of classical North Indian music and the skilful art of Persia. The lively rhythms, bordering frenzy, which accompany the whirling dancers in their famous costumes of a thousand, scintillating mirrors, are an invitation to a journey rich in colour and emotion, following in the footsteps of the gypsies of Rajasthan.

  • @DAVE1R1111 I see where you are coming from. However, these people are just as nomadic in Rajasthan and the rest of India, as they are in other parts of the world. They have no fixed address nor property and travel from town to town performing music and dance, doing metal-work and occasionally topping up income with petty theft. They do have although a very hard and uncomfortable life but a free existence. Most rajasthanis are unlike this and these people are called Banjara in their home-state.
