Rhythms of Rajasthan: Folk by The Kutle Khan Project

The Kutle Khan Project is Khan’s voya­ge into a world of music beyond bou­ndaries, where he delves into his folk roots, and draws from his musical experience, inclueing his past collaborations with musicians from different cultures. What remains is a perfectly distilled blend of musical styles, with a strong Rajasthan folk sensibility. He has perf­ormed on various stages across the world. His music embodies the rich melodic and sophisticated rhyth­mic traditions of Rajasthan’s folk music, with performances that are informed by his understanding of contemporary In­dian and Western musical traditions. Coming from a family of Manganiyar musicians, Khan not only plays the dholak, but also the khartal, bhapang, harmonium, sarangi, and morchang. He also sings soulful renditions, and writes and composes his own songs.
