BHOJPURI CULTURE IN CHUTNEY MUSIC
Music of Indo-Caribbean Culture : Influences of Bhojpuri
Culture in Chutney Music
It seems not much has changed since the time our Ancestors left ! (info courtesy Jon Budram).
Many Chutney
Songs are traditional Bhojpuri Folk Songs or are influenced by them. Check this interesting Song : see if you can identify the Song or a few Chutney tracks of this Music Video and if they share the same musical composition. Songs more than 100-150 years
old are still in popular use within the Indo-Caribbean Music field and
they all trace their roots back to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India.
Have
a look at the instruments as well which are used in India and the
Caribbean.
The Harmonium oddly enough is actually of European origin and was imported to India whereas nowadays it is more associated with Indian music.

SITTING MUSIC
Known in Trinidad and Guyana as "tãn-singing" or "local-classical
music" and in Suriname as "baithak gãna" ("sitting music"), tãn-singing
has evolved into a unique idiom, embodying the rich poetic and musical
heritage brought from India as modified by a diaspora group largely cut
off from its ancestral homeland...Book : East Indian Music in the West Indies : Tân-Singing, Chutney, and the Making of Indo-Caribbean Culture by Peter Manuel. Includes a CD - see info HERE.

Awadhi geet/bhojpuri
Mori chunari me daag lagaya
Ab kaahe ka natat batya
Dulha kanni katat batya
Budahu dada kay fati rajai
Madhai wali godari
Ya janay purab kay bhitar
Bandhi rahay jaha bokari
Gal ka hamare das das dayi
Jibh lagay ke chatat raheya
Ab kaahe ka natat batya
Dulha kanni katat batya
Kitana foot sookh gaye
In balo ki kesho me
Kitana maal khilawat raheya
Chhup-chhup ke jharokho me
Har pag peechhe lagaa raheya too
Paay ke awsar gathat bateya
Ab kaahe ka natat batya
Dulha kanni katat batya
Ya janay u naar khor
Ya arhar ke khet
Ta janay dadi kay koliya
Ya babure ke per
Mauka paay ke nahi chhodeya too
Hardam danda bhajat raheya
Ab kaahe ka natat batya
Dulha kanni katat batya

Luka chhupi bhent jab hoti
Sajan mere baah sikore
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Pahale haanth lagaa joban pe
Jaise lagee katari
Dheere dheere san sana san
Jiyaraa rahi rahi ke mashole
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Dusaraa hanth gaal pe rakh kar
Pyaaraa sa ek chumma de ke
Jibh se jibh chatole
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Tisari baar to chipka chipaki
Aisaa machaa utpaat
Choli ki doree tore
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Chautha haanth kamar pe rakhate
Harkat karti bijali kaudhi
Jiyaraa ruk ruk le hichkole
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Panchawaa haanth jaangh par rakhate
Chanchal man akulaan
Koshish karne lagaa meraa dil
Abto chhappak chhaiya hole
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Chhatwa haanth se nara tore
Sharm se jhuk gaye nain
Haa kar di kar lo manmani
Jeero se saat ghusere
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
Satawee baar to anrath hoygaa
Bhoot gayee mradang
Much se cheekh taraak se nikali
Khuno ki pichkari
Dhako pe dhakka tole
Kabhee to yahaa tatole
Kabhee to wahaa tatole
