Lakha Khan had been playing and singing for half a century at that time, making a living by performing at local events like weddings and births (the patrons of the Manganiyars, are the local feudal Rajput lords). One of the musicians they came across a decade ago, as they were driving from hamlet to hamlet was Lakha Khan, from Raneri village in Jodhpur.
I saw the documentary as it was being put together and then fully on the Aga Khan Museum's Web site and think it tells one of the most remarkable stories of our time, as important as the Buena Vista Social Club. For many years now, Malhotra and Sharma (whom I have known for a quarter century) have been travelling and promoting the music of these extreme talented individuals whom even their own country may not be familiar with.Īnd now the Aga Khan Museum has produced a three-part documentary series called Searching for the Blues on the musicians with material shot and recorded by the two men's record firm, Amarrass.
