Group: Bablu Yadav and Group
A 40-year-old artist from Banaras, Daroga Ram, has been learning music through various folk forms native to the Uttar Pradesh region. He began to take inspiration to learn folk forms such as Sohar, Kajri, and Keherwa at a very young age when he heard the ritualistic spiritual music played with passion in his village. He has been working hard towards achieving mastery in his craft and pursues it with soaring passion. He considers Bablu Yadav as his guru in music and speaks very highly of his teachings and achievements in the field of music. Most of his songs are, thus, made to be in a similar style. When he was a child, he would try to imitate the elders of his village, and hence he developed the will to learn music and never stopped. He also knows how to play Jhaal and Manjira apart from Khartaal and has an excellent backing vocal ability. He has performed in various locations within the country. He has also pulled off brilliant performances at many cultural festivals to amaze the crowds and regards his performance at Banaras Deepawali as the most memorable experience. He lives in a family of nine people and has five daughters and a married son. Despite all his struggles, he strives to keep developing his craft and dreams to educate his audience about this artform. Someday in the future, he sees himself succeed through the art that he loves so much.
