SAHAJ PARAV - The Root Music Festival

SAHAJ PARAV - The Root Music Festival Most unique root music festival of India. Organised by Dohar and Lopamudra Productions. Yet, alternate, parallel approaches were also, not completely absent.

‘Sahaj Parav’ is fundamentally a carnival of rediscovering and redefining our roots. The manner in which 19th century learning perceived ‘roots’, was based on an essentially colonial, urban construct. Nevertheless, being in the present Post-modern time, we attempt to search for our roots from a free, sovereign perspective. The setting is now distinctly new. Secondly, the constant, global advertis

ing of the culture and aesthetics of a particular nation endangers the cultural sovereignty of every other people, and hence, ‘Sahaj Parav’, the Root Music Festival aims to provide an “other” narrative to the ongoing phenomenon of cultural homogenization across the globe. Thirdly, it is an established fact now that the culture of our ‘roots’ is facing extinction, owing rightly to a larger sense of naivety. Quite obviously, thus, the responsibility to conserve and continue this culture falls on us. But, this process does not merely end with urban replications or performances of the same. Consequently, conserving the art generates the need for protecting the artist, as well. Fourthly, Even we desire cultural universality, but not at our cost. Equal treatment is essential. “As I play the Blues, our Baul finds voice in you!” From this train of thought, ‘Sahaj Parav’ is born.

The curtains fall, but the melodies remain!

Sahaj Parav Season 8 reminded us that folk music is not just sound, it is soul, soil & story. It took us outside the rush of life and closer to our roots.

What a journey. What a celebration. What a season.

The curtains fall, but the melodies remain.

At Sahaj Parav, we were reminded that folk music is not merely sound, it is soul, soil & story. It carried us away from the rush of life and gently brought us back to our roots.

And when Prahlad Singh Tipanya (Prahlad ji) immersed us in the timeless wisdom of Kabir’s dohas, the air itself felt sacred. Each verse echoed truth, simplicity and the eternal connection between humanity and the divine.
