On the festive occasion of Holi the third edition of Amarrass Nights at Sunder Nursery will back on 7th March with a Holi special ‘vyang, hasya kavita, mushaira’.To celebrate the arrival of spring and renewal with a special programme on the theme of comedy, humour and satire. The previous two editions of the year received an ecstatic response from Delhiites, and the next promises to be an enchanting evening of story-telling, laughter and music under the stars.
Known by various names such as vyang, hasya kavita, mushaira - these once popular forms of folk storytelling will be showcased on stage to delight Delhi audiences. Stand-up comedy (vyang, hasya kavita) by acclaimed poets Popular Meeruthi and Pawan Dixit, Jogi-folk poet-singer Jumme Khan and his band from Alwar, Rajasthan with his hard-hitting satire and social commentary, and a special set featuring Ghalib, dub and eclectic audio ephemera by recluse underground electronic producer Ravana to enthral the audience.
This edition of Amarrass Nights will also features another rare folk instrument - the bhapang. A rare, single-stringed percussion instrument, similar to a 'talking drum' found in cultures around the world, it originates from the Mewati community in the Alwar district, and is also known as a Chongar in Maharashtra, Apang in Gujarat and Tumba in Punjab. The bhapang has a varying pitch, that coupled with rapid hand movements and dexterity of plucking, creates a broad spectrum of sound. It is often played to accompany bhajans and poetry. A simple looking instrument that displays complex emotion and depth.
