Dhun Dhora are a young supergroup consisting of master musicians from the deserts of Western Rajasthan. Hailing from the Manganiyar and Langa communities which go back centuries, these musicians have always been remarkable vocalists, instrumentalists, storytellers and genealogists, passing on their skill and knowledge through oral transmission. The group blends vocal melodies (slow, fast, Sufi etc) with the sound of percussion instruments dholak and khartal to create a soulful and spiritual or vibrant and exuberant, foot-stomping and rousing repertoire, replete with traditional and contemporary compositions and beat cycles.
