Daira's Jaadoo Bastar is a sublime portrayal of unique folk-fusion between members of Art-Rock band Daira and folk musicians of Bastar region in the state of Chhattisgarh. The concert features songs in Halbi, Bhatri and Gondi blended with Hindi lyrics.
Jaadoo Bastar was born from a journey undertaken by Mumbai's Art-rock band 'Daira' as they traveled to the heart of Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Bastar, a place known for its art and culture, has seen its cultural treasures fading away with time. Jaadoo Bastar aims to celebrate the rich heritage of Bastar through music and research.
In Bastar, Daira met some local musicians, forming a bond that transcended linguistic and cultural barriers. Together, they selected five folk songs in three distinct languages- Gondi, Bhatri, and Halbi, each melody carrying stories of generations past. Delving deep into the essence of these songs, Hindi lyrics were written and five new tracks were created that seamlessly blend the beauty of folk and modern music.
Every step of the journey was documented, capturing the essence of local creativity and the beautiful world of Bastar, for the world to see.
