About this item
| Description: | The fresh recordings of the complete Ballad sung by the Thikarda village singers. This has been achieved in six sessions. To avoid repetition in the Ballad only two singers were asked to narrate the story. Thus the more experienced singer Jagaji initiated main lines of the Ballad and the supportive singer Phatuji followed him. |
