SATTIDIN KUSHWAHA SAMRAT MANDAL MUSKARA

Sattidin’s group is well-known in Bundelkhand for performing Kachiayi folk songs, a Hindustani raga-based tune. It is typically performed as a sawaal-jawaab event on festivals and other occasions where the opponents challenge each other. So, it not only requires mastery over singing and music but also over writing poetry. The group has been performing for about 20 years, has won many such Kachiayi competitions, and has received medals.

Kachiayi is a very versatile tune, and many folk genres can be sung in this tune, like Gari, Khayal, Lamtera and others. Sattidin also writes songs on contemporary issues in this tune. The group has been mainly performing around their district, where Kachiayi is a niche genre in folk music.

She also knows how to play Harmonium and Table apart from Vocals and has performed in various locations within the country. She has pulled off brilliant performances at Ganga Mahotsav, Bhojpuri Sammelan, Netaji Indoor Stadium, and others and regard her music CD inauguration by the President of Mauritius in November 2009, as the most memorable experience.
