The first crowd funded album created by a Manganiyar musician brings you a great selection of seven special songs, straight from the heart of Rajasthan including Rajasthani folk, Sufi & a Krishna Bhajan. These songs create a universe of colors and emotions - talking about love, mischief and hope. Mame Khan hopes that the listeners will sense the smell of mud -"mitti ki khushboo" in his songs, while at the same time taking his audience on a journey from ancient to modern times.

The evening will witness the launch of the album and meant to be a medium not only to spread joy, but also to reach out to the world showing the potential and beauty of Rajasthani folk and Sufi music.

Mame Khan belongs to a family of mastersingers, who perform a unique, oral tradition since more than fifteen generations. His energy and his vocal skill owe much to the influence of his father and tutor, late Shri Rana Khan. 
Mame Khan’s musical career started in a small, almost medieval village named Satto near Jaisalmer. The golden city of Jaisalmer and its surrounding villages are famed for their rich history of kings and poets, and is a place where Muslim and Hindu mystical traditions come together -timeless and beyond borders. 
Mame Khan is a name that finds special mention and great respect among the folk music circuits of Rajasthan. Today he sings a wide repertoire of traditional Folk- and Sufi songs. The special style of the Manganiyar Folk Music called Jangra includes a universe of songs for all occasions in life. From traditional wedding songs to welcome songs for a newborn child; specially the happy occasions of life are accompanied by the strong and colorful songs of the Manganiyar Musicians.
Also the songs from Sufi poets of Sindh and Rajasthan, including Mira Bai, Kabir, Lal Shahbâz Qalandar, Bulleh Shah and Baba Ghulam Farid are sung by Mame Khan with 
élan and full of joy. His stage performances include the most illustrious national as well as international platforms. His voice has graced musical events and platforms in India and around the world from Europe to Africa from America to the Gulf Countries. He is as well the main vocal of the famous Manganiyar Seduction by Roysten Abel and he as borrowed his voice to some of the most popular Bollywood movies such as "No one Killed Jessica", "Luck By Chance" and " I am". Most recently he performed for Amit Trivedis episode on Coke Studio season 2 @ MTV.
