Description

This book is written in Hindi and in English. The 75 songs are presented in both Hindi and transliterated Roman script, in order that they may be appreciated by Hindi and English-speaking readers. Also, the explanations for the songs are written in Hindi and in English.

Pandit Hira Singh Borliya is an acclaimed folk singer who was born in June 1934 at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India. Borliyaji has devoted his whole life to music, and for the last 60 years has been collecting, performing and teaching folk songs of the region—especially the Kabeer and Malwa traditions. This book containing 75 songs was an idea first discussed by Hira Singh and his daughter, Sarita, in August 2003. It contains the artist's 70 favourite traditional songs for Mata Pujan, Ganesh Pujan, Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Gorakhnath, Matsyendranath, Bharthari, plus marriage and dance songs. It also includes five songs of the famous mystic poet Kabeer. Through publication of this book, the dream of father and daughter to see these songs preserved for posterity is finally realised.
