Live Singer in Rajasthan

Rajasthan

Music for the venues of Rajasthan

Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer have airports with flights from Mumbai; the band normally arrives the day before and tests the sound in the venue.

Your live singer in Rajasthan

Few states are as photographed or as celebrated as Rajasthan. Its forts rise from rock, its palaces float on lakes and its desert glows at dusk, and for a generation of couples this is the backdrop they want for the biggest day of their lives. Destination weddings fill the heritage hotels of Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur from October to March, and the Rajasthani families who live across India return home to marry.

The state’s music is its own. Manganiyar and Langa musicians, the Kalbelia dancers of the desert, the ghoomar danced by women in swirling skirts and the sound of the dhol and the shehnai at a baraat form the local soundtrack, and a visiting singer is asked to sit beside it rather than over it. A Hindi, Sufi and ghazal set suits the evenings between the folk performances and the formal dinner.

Practicalities decide a Rajasthan booking. Heritage venues restrict stages, speakers and finish times, summers reach the mid-forties and winter desert nights are cold enough to need heaters. The planners who work here are experienced, and the best results come from sending the band’s requirements to the venue weeks ahead and arriving a day early.

Rajasthan’s calendar of festivals

The year is rich in fairs. The Jaipur Literature Festival in January, the Desert Festival at Jaisalmer in February, the Camel Festival at Bikaner in January, the Mewar Festival at Udaipur and the Gangaur processions in spring, Teej in the monsoon, the Pushkar Camel Fair in November and the Rajasthan International Folk Festival at Jodhpur in October each draw visitors and fill hotels. The wedding season runs through the same months, so peak dates are booked a year or more ahead.

Between them, Diwali, Holi and the many local fairs keep the calendar full, and a singer who is free on a festival weekend is a rarity. The best approach is to fix the venue first and the music straight after.

Timing, etiquette and what Rajasthan guests expect

Rajasthan loves ceremony. Guests dress in rich colours and turbans, the family is welcomed with a tilak and a garland, and dinner is late and generous. Alcohol is served in licensed hotels but not in the holy town of Pushkar, and many Marwari and Jain families are strictly vegetarian. A performer who respects these customs and follows the planner’s schedule to the minute is welcomed.

A set list for a Rajasthan evening

A palace wedding in Rajasthan usually starts with the folk musicians and hands over to the singer for the long stretch of dinner. That stretch suits unhurried songs: Kun Faya Kun and Khwaja Mere Khwaja for the Sufi mood, Tum Hi Ho and Channa Mereya for the romantic hour, and Padharo Mhare Des, the welcome song of the state, as a salute to the hosts. Near midnight the tempo rises with the dance numbers the young cousins have asked for.
