The Merasi Community: The Merasi are a marginalized community of
northwestern Rajasthan (India) who carry a unique musical legacy more
than 1000 years old, an Intangible Cultural Heritage as defined by
UNESCO.
Children who grow up in oral musical contexts such as the families of
hereditary musical specialists commonly learn the body-language of
music before they learn music itself. Throughout infancy and childhood
they absorb the mannerisms of performance practice and the physical
Since 12 April 2005, our team gunsar lpk sangeet sansthan have been documenting oral music acquisition
and transmission, conducting a detailed exploration of the processes
by which children in diverse cultures become musicians, beginning with
passive exposure in infancy and culminating in adolescent
participation in public performance. We are considering our findings
in the context of the belief, widely-held in such cultures, that these
learning processes are intrinsic to the strength and depth of these
highly-specialised traditions, which in all cases are central
expressions of regional/national identity.
We are a team of five educated person of folk artist communitys only. each of whom specialises in
particular folk singing ,sufi. Each of us also has
qualifications and experience in other relevant disciplines including
music education, film-making,

LANGA/LANGHA
These community Parform music for muslim community only and as of now they do performance for all communitys of Rajasthan and around the world
The Manganiar or Manghanhar and related Langha are
Muslim communities in Sindh, Pakistan and in the desert of Rajasthan,
India in the districts of Barmer and Jaisalmer, Bikaner, along the border of
Sindh province of Pakistan. Majority of Manghanhar are found in the
districts of Tharparkar, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Tando Allahyar,
Hyderabad, Badin, Sujawal, Thatta, Jamshoro in Sindh Pakistan. They
are known for their folk music. They are groups of hereditary
musicians whose music has been supported by wealthy landlords and
aristocrats for generations.
The Manganiyars consider themselves descendants
of the Rajputs and are renowned as folk musicians of the Thar desert.
Their songs are passed on from generation to generation as a form of
oral history of the desert. They sing songs about Alexander the Great,
about the local Maharajas and past battles in the region. Manganiyars
have survived for centuries on the patronage of wealthy merchants in
caravan towns, particularly Jaisalmer Barmer & bikaner where there is an important
settled community today. The traditional jajman (patrons) of the
Manganiar are the locally dominant Rajput community, while the Langha/ langa
have a similar relationship with the Sindhi-Sipahi, a community of
Muslim Rajputs. At times of birth, marriage or any family festivity
for their Rajput patrons, the Manganiyar musicians sing songs of the
desert and many specially composed songs to praise the patron and his
family.Thid is only the community in the world who has redhamme in there blood last fifteen generaton From Now.
Though Manganiar and Langhas communities are Muslim, in Rajasthan many
Manganiar songs are in praise of Hindu deities and celebrate Hindu
festivals such as Diwali and Holi where the performers traditionally
invoke the Hindu God Krishna and seek his blessing before beginning
their recital.
Present circumstancesIn 1978, Jodhpur-based musician Padam Shree, Padam bhushan late mr Komal
Kothari provided the Manganiyars with institutional support, allowing , motivate them for perform international plateform
to sing outside the state and out of country around the world rich dyinf artof rajasthan for the first time. Currently, several
Manganiyar groups tour internationally.
Socio-political controversy In present-day Jaisalmer and Barmer ,bikaner
surrounding regions in Rajasthan, the term Manganiar, or Manganiyar,
meaning 'musicians', is used as a debasing and derogatory title for folk
musicians that are among the lowest castes in Rajasthan. These
communities of folk musicians refer to themselves as Merasi, which
translates as 'musicians' or 'keepers of the stories' and had been
titled this by patrons, including wealthy and powerful Rajput patrons
predating Komal Kothari's usage of Manganiar. Considered
‘untouchable’, denied access to education, healthcare, and political
representation, most live in poverty yet aspire to improve their
situation. Despite on-going caste-prejudice, they persist in their
roles as oral genealogists, storytellers, and musicians. To reclaim
their identity as storytellers, the Merasi of Jaisalmer ,Barmer,bikaner Western Part Of Rajasthan.
