Transport yourself to the heart of Rajasthan. The Langas and the Manganiars, two professional hereditary caste musician communities, share the beauty of the Thar Desert and its people in this unique virtual concert.

This October, Mandala Arts and Rupayan Sansthan present Raj Rang: Colors of Rajasthan. Rupayan Sansthan is an alternative ethnographic museum that preserves the folkloric and everyday traditions of Rajasthan’s rural communities. RajRang (a unit of Rupayan Sansthan) features artists such as Habib Khan Langa, Khete Khan Manganiar, Dere Khan Manganiar, Feroz Khan Manganiar and Anwar Khan Manganiar. These renowned artists have been featured in productions with Ustad Zakir Hussain, Yo-Yo Ma, Zingaro, and in the acclaimed international hit, “Manganiyar Seduction”.

During the pandemic, the lives of performing artists have been affected globally. This program seeks to support vital musical communities.
