DEAR GLOBAL CITIZENS,
HELLO AND WELCOME BACK.TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO ENUMERATE THE IMPORTANCE OF A 'DHOLAK' PLAYER.'DHOLAK' IS ONE OF THE MOST PRIMITIVE PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT OF BHAARAT PLAYED IN THE VILLAGES.IT IS RELATED TO THE FOLK MUSIC.EVERY VILLAGE CONSISTS OF ATLEAST 2 DHOLAK PLAYERS.IT ACCOMPANIES WELL WITH THE 'HOLI SONGS','CHAITHA SONGS',BIDESIYA
SONGS,BIRHAA SONGS,'DHAMAAR SONGS' ETC.
''A DHOLAK PLAYER IS THE PRIDE OF THE VILLAGE''.BUT WE FIND NO 'DHOLAK' PLAYERS IN THE SOCIETY NOW.WHERE HAVE THEY DISAPPEARED?COMPUTERISED MUSIC TOOK AWAY THE JOBS OF THOUSANDS OF PERCUSSIONISTS OF BHAARAT.PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS LIKE 'DHOLAK','NAAL','CONGO','BONGO',DRUM SETS AND 'TABLA' LOST THEIR IDENTITY.HOW?THEY WERE FLUENTLY USED IN THE BOLLYWOOD MUSIC.NOW THESE PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS HAVE LOST THEIR LUSTRE.THE PRODUCER NEVER USES THESE INSTRUMENTS FOR HIS RECORDINGS.THE RESULT IS THAT ALL THE PERCUSSIONISTS HAVE BECOME A COMPUTER ENGINEER.
THEY HAVE STOOD IN THE MASSES.
I WATCH ON THE STREETS OF PATNA(ROAD NO.1 RAJENDRA NAGAR) EVERYDAY TO SEE THE'TOLI OF HOLI' BUT EVERYDAY I GET FRUSTRATED AS THE TRADITION HAS DISAPPEARED.'THE TOLI OF HOLI' CONSISTS OF 2 DHOLAK PLAYERS,5 CYMBAL PLAYERS,1 HARMONIUM PLAYERS,10 COLOURED PARTICIPANTS IN RUGGED CLOTHES,2 PARTICIPANTS CARRYING SKELETON OF HUMAN,5 PARTICIPANTS WEARING SHINING HATS.ALL SINGING 'JOGIRAA SARARARA' SONG.THEY WALK THROUGH THE STREETS BEGGING AND DANCING.THEY WALKED ATLEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE THE HOLI.ALL HAVE LEFT PATNA FOR THEIR JOBS.WHO CARES FOR THE 'CULTURE AND TRADITION'?IT WOULD BE ONLY CARED WHEN SOME OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OTHERS DEPARTED.I MEAN TO SAY WHEN SOME MNC WILL USE THIS TOLI FOR MAKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEN IT WOULD REGAIN IT'S SIGNIFICANCE.
WE HAVE STILL 2 DAYS LEFT PLEASE DON'T BE SHY AND 'SHAPE YOUR HOLI KI TOLI'.
'RABAAB' AND 'EESRAAJ' HAVE ALSO LOST THEIR VALUABLE IDENTITY.THESE INSTRUMENTS ARE THE IDENTITY OF 'AFGHANISTAAN'.
I WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY HOLI.PLEASE DON'T MISS IT.
FAITHFULLY,
RINKOO AADARSH.
