Kesariya Balam - Rajasthani folk tune, Indian Classical Music - Esraj

First time I heard this was on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2007 - sung by Raja Hasan
LOVED the composition and his singing.

Here is whatever I could manage to play + random alaaps + a few mistakes

but overall It still feels pretty OK . so I'm putting it up .

There are a lot of other lovely variations to this tune - browse youtube for "kesariya balam" or "padharo mare des"

इस लोक-संगीत का प्रचलन शतकों पहले राजस्थान के ऐतिहासिक राज-दरबारों से हुआ माना जाता है। उस समय के लोक कलाकार राजा तेजाजी, गोगाजी तथा राजा रामदेवजी की गौरव गाथा का बख़ान करते हुए 'माँड' गाया करते थे। इस शैली का एक लोकगीत जो अत्यधिक लोकप्रिय हुआ वह है - 'केसरिया बालम आवो सा, पधारो मारे देस'।

Hi dhavlena...No need for apologies...

I was just a little miffed at your reference to Dor as the inspiration for the song whereas this is an age old folk song...it is really good to see a "westerner" show such interest in Indian music...as an Indian I appreciate and thank you for your interest...
