'Kachchi Maani Ne Pud Pakko' sings Mooralala Marwada

This song describes a stark moment from the love legend of Sasui-Punhu when she is alone, walking in the harsh sand dunes of Thar desert with the merciless sun beating down on her. As she laments her Beloved’s going away from her, the song seems to become a meditation on death and the moment in which our ever-present companion – our breath – slips away with a sigh. *** Find lyrics/translation of this song at: http://ajabshahar.com/songs/details/1...

He has an endearing habit of bursting into song when the inspiration strikes, no matter where he is… on the street, in a bus, or on the phone! Mooralala belongs to a lineage of Meghwal singers, who migrated from Rajasthan to Kutch about 300 to 400 years ago. Now settled in the village of Khadeer in Kutch, Mooralala says he’s an 11th generation singer, and that his ‘santaar’ (tambura) must be at least 130 years old! When he first heard the sound of the tambura, he recalls that he was 8 years old, and he was so enchanted, he couldn’t sleep! Currently his 12-year-old daughter Nandini, learns from and sings with him. He moves with ease between nirguni bhajans, traditional folk songs and Sufiana kalaam.
