The Langas & The Manganiars

Five or six unmistakably Indian men in colourful oversized turbans. A couple of rugged middle aged vocalists among them, ranging high and low. A drummer with a toothy grin. Maybe a wizened old man plying his bow on the strings of a kamayacha. An impish young boy or two clacking away on pairs of khartals held in each palm. One of the singers is squeezing an harmonium and belting away. The other vocalist waits for a cue to join the ride. The drummer rouses his dholak.
