Sangram Band, Pune - a photo on Flickriver

Sangram Band, Pune

            The Piper plays a tune of oft repeated hits on the streets of India. From Come September, Tequila to Hindi songs, the repoertoire is quite vast. No music scores for them. They just learn it by rote.

The Dark Violet Band Members of the Sangram Band in Pune.

Portraits on an August Day when the city was busy celebrating Ganesha.

Music and performances have long been an arena based on birth in India. If you were a court performer who sang and danced then the whole village did that and so would the children born i the community. Caste system may have been the worst enemy that India ever had and may still be suffering from it.

Not much has changed. Children of film actors and actresses continue the miserable performances that their parents engaged in. Just illustrating with an example that is all too visible on the large screen.

The garish dark violet uniform jackets of the livery do not take away the exhaustion and disconnect from the people who don it and practice their proession.
