The Songs
The Kumaon hills are a part of the Himalayan range of mountains in the state of Uttaranchal. The districts of Almora, Nainital, Pithoragarh among others are in this region. The music of the hills is special in that it has a distinct lilt of its own, but more than that, several artistes whose music has been showcased here are very special. Among them, Jhusia Damai, who is by now close to 95 years, is a legend by himself. He sings and dances vigourously while playing a Hudka, the characteristic instrument of the region. Anandi Devi & Santram, a blind couple eke out an existence from singing at a bus-stop near Almora and their voices have some special magic. In fact, each one of the artistes have some unique & special characteristics, completely their own. Check them out!
