Thank you to Karen Lukas of Folk Arts Rajasthan (FAR) for letting me know about this wonderful World Vision broadcast and accompanying slideshow about the Merasi School and Merasi music. I am so excited to share them with you. In Karen’s words:

FAR volunteer and musicologist Adam Pogoff is seen here recording on the ground in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. His piece covered both the pure beauty of the centuries-old music, and the harsh realities under which it continues to flourish. Adam, who along with photographer and schoolteacher Alison Brockhouse and other friends, volunteered to travel to Jaisalmer this April to experience and record first-hand the sounds of this legacy. They returned from the scorching desert amazed and excited, keen to spread the word about this gifted community.
