Rhythm of Rajasthan

Free ticketed event. $5 suggested donation.

BOX OFFICE: 773.728.6000 for reservations


The vast unending expanse of burning hot sand that makes up the Thar Desert of Rajasthan hosts one of the most vibrant and evocative music cultures of the world. The Rhythm of Rajasthan is a birth of an idea to create an exciting fusion of traditional rhythms and melodies from this culture. The group captures the romanticism and heroism of the north Indian desert in a visceral hypnotic performance of poetry, dance, and music. The hereditary caste musicians perform the traditional music of the Langa and Manganiar in addition to Kalbelia dance as a component in the group's colorful and stunning performance.

Members group will give an Indian music workshop in the Thursday Workshop Series.

This event is sponsored in part by the Kalapriya Foundation with housing generously donated by Pratik Dave.
