Click to download PROGRAM NOTES From India's Thar Desert in northwest Rajasthan comes Musafir (“traveler” in Farsi), a spectacular folkloric troupe that's thrilled festival audiences throughout Europe. Fusing traditions of Islamic, Hindu, Gypsy and nomadic groups whose passion is music, poetry and feats of endurance, the ensemble entrances viewers of all ages. Musafir's spirited music and hypnotic tabla drumming, whirling costumed dancers, turbaned snake charmers and fire-eaters—featured in the movie Latcho Drom and evoking ancient civilizations—transport you to the distant sands of Rajasthan. This program is supported in part by the Dartmouth Summer Arts Initiative. Cosponsored by NHPR. |
 “Harmonious voices swirl and castanets lend dancing snaps to melodic tabla rhythms. There is a devotional edge to this music that tugs at the soul as well as the body.”
