PREM KUMAR SHARMA AND GROUP

To preserve the true essence of what they do, this group makes the younger generation learn about music and songs directly from their elders. While doing so, they want these newcomers to understand and embrace the values of their roots. In this rapidly changing world, such a system of transmittance of knowledge leads to close interaction, which is crucial to conserve the loss of traditions. They mostly sing folk forms like Rasiya, swang, beher, etc. The group leader, Pandit Prem Sharma, is a 63-year-old man who makes sure that he is immersed in music all the time. The groups jam every day for hours and have perfected their art. They have expertise in the Hathrasi Rasiya and wish to achieve name and fame in the same. The group has the following members, Pawan Kumar Rajput, 35, who has a bit of a problem with his vision but still plays the harmonium brilliantly.  Salim Baba, 60, a wonderful man, plays an instrument called “Tasha”; Navneet Kumar Bhardwaj, 28, a proficient Dholak player; Harpal Singh, 52, a chorus singer who accompanies Prem Sharma Ji; and Bipin Kumar Sharma, 37 and Om Prakash Nayak, 62, both are important chorus singers of the group. The group travels from villages to villages to perform. They had given numerous performances in several places. Many people left, and many people joined the group. Still, their purpose remains unshaken, that is, to conserve not only the music but the cultural heritage of Braj.
