The November chapter of Amarras Nights, a platform to promote and nurture folk artistes, will feature South African musician Guy Buttery alongside next generation qawwali group Rehmat-e-Nusrat and Uttarakhand’s Kumaoni folk band Himalimu. According to the organizers, this concert will be held on Saturday at Sundar Nursery.
A South African musical phenomenon, Batari has evolved into an ambassador of his country’s sound with his homegrown style. His distinctive style traces its lineage to traditional South African culture, music and instruments.
Known for bringing a fresh perspective to the age-old tradition of qawwali music, Rehmat-e-Nusrat is a group of young musicians from the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. The troupe presents qawwalis of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sufiana Kalam of great poets Amir Khusrao, Meera Bai, Baba Bulleh Shah, Ghazals, Kabir Bhajans and original compositions. It was formed in 2014 by lead vocalist and harmonium virtuoso Sarvajit Tamta.
Some members of Rehmat-e-Nusrat have regrouped to present ‘Pahadi’ or hill folk music from the Kumaon region. Rarely heard outside its birthplace, the band will perform a variety of music from the region, including nioli, chaiti as well as jhora, chanchari and chapeli which are performed for dancing at important events, festivals and gatherings. The rhythmic beat of bansuri (bamboo flute), dholak, hand drum, clapping add vibrancy and energy to the performance. Amarras Nights have been organized by Gurgaon-based label Amarras Records and Amarras Society for Performing Arts since 2009 at iconic venues across Delhi.
