Asin has performed and has been honoured extensively in India and overseas. nnTo form Maru Tarang, Jeff and Asin were joined by Bobby Singh and Bhungar Khan Manganiyar.nnAcclaimed tabla player, Bobby Singh, is a student of tabla maestro Aneesh Pradhan. As a child he studied at the Sangeet Mahabharati in Mumbai. He has played alongside musicians such as Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, John Butler and Slava Grigoryan.nnBhungar Khan Manganiyar is one of Rajasthan's best known khartal player's, a wooden percussion instrument usually made of the wood of the sheesham or mango trees.nnThe music of Maru Tarang is a confluence of two musical traditions that seeks to explore various themes. The collaboration between the four musicans is a treat to watch and listen to.nThe collaboration premiered at the 2012 Parramasala Festival in Sydney. Most recently, they played at the Jodhpur RIFF 2013.nnhttp://www.jodhpurriff.org/nnCREDITS / SPONSORS nThis episode brought to you in association with JodhpurRIFF - http://jodhpurriff.orgnnJodhpurRIFF on Facebooknnhttp://https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jodhpur-RIFF-Rajasthan-International-Folk-Festival/140546077196?fref=tsnnJodhpurRIFF on Twitter - @JodhpurRIFFnnAn Oijo Productionnhttp://oijo.innSound - Kavi Bhansali/Raghav SuthaudnMix - Raghav SuthaudnnTune in again to BalconyTV // Less
