'Lai Le Samandaraadi Leher' sings Kaluram Bamaniya

Kabir (or Gorakh) didn't rely on esoteric vocabulary or obscure symbols to make their point. They crafted metaphors out of everyday activities, and made us attentive to the natural wisdom of life that surrounds us. In this song and reflection folk singer Kaluram Bamaniya speaks to us about the way a song sung by his village elders wounded him deeply.

Kaluram Bamaniya belongs to a vibrant tradition of singing bhakti poets such as Kabir, Gorakhnath, Bananath and Meera in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh in India. He started learning at the early age of 9, by accompanying his father, grandfather and uncle on the manjiras. When he was 13 years old he ran away from home and went to Rajasthan, where he absorbed a wide repertoire of songs from an itinerant Mirasi singer Ram Niwas Rao for 1-2 years.
