Halaria - Bachu Khan's 'LIVE' Performance @ Brave Festival 2013, Poland

From the desert region comes unique caste of musicians, Langas, whose main profession was to sing and dance for their patrons. Bachu Khan's father performed yet for the Royal family of Jodhpur--Rathore Gharana. With the end of royalty state function of Langas, their music started to flourishduring all occasions including weddings, births, engagements and festivals. According to the Darbari (royal) tradition of several centuries Langas still sing love songs in their mother tongue, Marwari, depicting one's longing for the lover, joy of reunion and hopes that lovers put in the future. Instruments in use are Sarangi (string instrument),Murliand Algoza (woodwind instruments), Morchang (Jewish harp) and Khartal (wooden castanet).

Bachu Khan was introduced to music by his father, but his real master, who taught him Rajasthani folk repertoire was Haji B. K. Khan. At the age of twelve Bachu Khan gave his first public performance and just a year later his first international show took place. Bachu Khan's high-pitched, open-throated, very powerful voice, supported by the backing vocalists is perfectly complemented by the woodwind and string instruments, forming a melodious and sensuous musical score.
