Rap it on traditional Dandiya!
Time was when everything was pure and pristine. Today times are when dandiya is Vengaboys and Ganesha pujan is rap and disco.
But some trends are unstoppable and fusion certainly in.
Especially if you want younger generations to participate in traditional activities, then tinge of pop music is necessary," says Jassi, cultural program officer at Kalagram. Amidst the beats of techno music youngsters wet with perspiration enjoyed this dandiya with a difference.
"Initially, we thought that it would be all Phalguni Pathak music but it's amazing to see here people playing with the sticks on pop music. Anyways I am enjoying it," gushes 16-year-old Rahul, who came with his elder sister. Ambience full of lights, air filled with fun 'n' fervour and above all music loud enough to make you jump and bump.
If on one-side youngsters enjoyed and danced their way to hip hop music then obviously situation was embarrassing for elders. "I think we have a mix of everything. If to remain intact to the theme we play Gujarati beats then certainly for youngsters we have western and pop music as well.
They need it to relax themselves," says Jassi. Besides music, fusion was also observed in the way people were dressed up. Dames in denims were busy flaunting their jhumki bangles as rarely was any one dressed for the occasion.
"We often keep dress code for the participants who come to play dandiya here and for the reason we also give marks for their dress. But ultimately it's their own choice," adds Jassi.
