  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Single take recordings made in May 2012, at the home of Manga (lead singer with Barmer Boys) in Ramsar village, Barmer District, Rajasthan, India (released December 2012 in India, April 2013 US/Benelux)

    ​Featured on Season 3 of Coke Studio on MTV India, Barmer Boys represent the next generation of folk from India. Folk with attitude. 21st Century folk. Barmer Boys are a trio led by the vocal powerhouse of Mangey Khan and percussive antics of Rais Khan (morchang, bhapang, khartal, beat-boxing). Barely in their 30’s, and yet seasoned performers, they carry forward the centuries-old musical tradition of the Manganiyars and are leading examples of Rajasthani folk and Sufi music. Their music is a harmonic blend of distinct performance styles and personalities, and melds Sufi, qawwali and folk traditions of the Indian sub-continent.

about

21st century folk. Folk with attitude. Single take recordings made 'at home' in Ramsar village, Barmer district, Rajasthan, India

The Barmer Boys are a four person group from Rajasthan, India led by Mangey Khan (vocals, harmonium) and Rais Khan (morchang, bhapang, beat-boxing). Barely in their 30’s, and yet seasoned performers, they carry forward the centuries-old musical tradition of the Manganiyars and are leading examples of Rajasthani folk and Sufi music. Their music is a harmonic blend of distinct performance styles and personalities, with the powerful and nuanced voice of Mangey leading the percussive punch and antics of Rais, Deu and Gaphur. The group formed in 2011, and has performed with a host of world renowned artists including Vieux Farka Toure, Bombino, BaBa ZuLa, Mamadou Diabate, Rupa and the April Fishes, and UK’s Jason Singh/Dharohar Project. The band's versatility of styles and bubbling energy infuses each performance - from soulful Sufi kalaams to uplifting wedding and celebratory songs, to boisterous jams with beatboxing (perhaps even a live DJ set sometimes!).
