Elements of different Folk forms like Mand from Rajasthan; Chaita and Neergun from Bihar; Carnatic Classical from South India are infused together to give birth to a new genre of Global Indian Contemporary Sound and Space, which is very high in spiritual content in terms of the lyrics. The aim is always to transcend the listener as well as the singer to an exalted state of being where one loses oneself to the Almighty in total bliss.
The object is love in its purest state…..which is why it not surprising to see the performers routinely go into trances…and send their listeners into raptures too….this genre had a wide audience till even a few decades back even among the urban audience.
