The mother-son artist duo talks about the folk music of Kangra and Chamba. It serves as an extraordinary repository of ideas, issues and iterations which define the Himalayan ethos in a society that has remained oriented towards oral cultures of singing and storytelling. From celebrating the beauty of landscapes and evoking environmental concerns, to registering matters of love and longing and adapting the sacred within the ubiquitous, these folk songs display an acute awareness of the life that was. #kangra #chamba #folkmusic #music #himachalpradesh #dhauladhar #gaddis #landscape #oralcultures #traditions #himalayas #westernhimalayas #songs #folksongs #geography #everydaylife #mythology
