The Sweat And Blood Of A Young Singer

Thanu Khan renders popular Rajasthani folk songs in his yard. His father accompanies him on the harmonium. Thanu keeps beating on a pair of Khartals. Khartal translates to hand-rhythm (Kar - hand; tal - rhythm) and is made of Sheesham wood. Thanu's mother looks on from beneath her red odni (traditional Rajasthani headscarf).
