Khete, 27, lives in a village named Khuri, 40 kms from Jaisalmer city. He belongs to the Merasi Manganiyaar caste. He is a new member of the group and it has been one year since his association with it. He plays Khartaal and plays with multiple groups of Jaisalmer. His brother has always been a source of inspiration and motivation for him. It has been 20 years since he started learning music and he believes he still has a lot more to learn. He is a married man, he has 3 kids and all of them are attending school. Apart from the local shows of Barmer, he has performed in all the major cities of Rajasthan. Most of the shows he gets are on a recommendation basis and through known contacts. Khete does around 2-3 shows per month but the pay delivered is not sufficient to feed his family. He wishes to perform abroad and get his art recognized at the global stage.
