Rajasthan, India
Mame Khan belongs to a family of master
singers, who perform a unique, oral tradition
since more then fifteen generations. His
energy and his vocal skill owe much to the
influence of his father and tutor, late Shri Rana
Khan.
Mame Khan’s musical career started in a
small, almost medieval village named Satto
near Jaisalmer. The golden city of Jaisalmer
and its surrounding villages are famed for its
rich history of kings and poets, and is a place
where Muslim and Hindu mystical traditions
come together -timeless and beyond borders.
Mame Khan is a name that finds
special mention and great respect among the
folk music circuits of Rajasthan. Today he
sings a wide repertoire of traditional Folk and
Sufi songs. The special style of the
Manganiyar Folk Music called Jangra includes
a universe of songs for all occasions in life. From traditional wedding songs to welcome songs
for a new born child; specially the happy occasions of life are accompanied by the strong and
colorful songs of the Manganiyar Musicians.
Also the songs from Sufi poets of Sindh and Rajasthan, including Mira Bai, Kabir, Lal
Shahbâz Qalandar, Bulleh Shah and Baba Ghulam Farid are sung by Mame Khan with élan
and full of joy.
His Stage performances include the most illustrious national as well as international
platforms. His voice has graced musical events and platforms in India and around the world
from Europe to Africa from America to the Gulf Countries.
Apart from his Indian Ensemble Mame Khan is the main vocal of a French – Iranian fusion
ensemble, called Badila.
He is as well the main vocal of the famous Manganiyar Seduction by Roysten Able and he as
borrowed his voice to some of the most popular Bollywood movie such as No one Killed
Jessica, Luck By Chance and I am.
Most recently he performed for Amit Trivedi episode on Coke Studio @ MTV.

India has a very rich tradition of folk
music. The extreme cultural diversity
creates endless varieties of folk styles.
Each region has its own particular style,
so does Rajasthan:
The Manganiyars are professional
Muslim folk musicians belonging to
Jaisalmer, Barmer, parts of Jalor,
Bikaner and Jodhpur districts in
Western Rajasthan. Like other
hereditary caste musicians, they
cultivate a close relationship to their
patrons.
Since generations they provide musical service to their patrons to receive cattle, camels, goats
or cash as gift. On the other side they function as record keepers and keep the different family
histories alive trough their songs, based on pure oral tradition.
Belonging to the Muslim faith, but supported by the Patrons (Râjputs, members of a Hindu
military caste claiming Kshatriya descent), the Manganiyars sing the praises both of the great
Sufi saints and of the god Krishna. These splendid virtuoso musicians combine the popular
mystical and secular traditions of the desert with those of the courts of the maharajas. They
perpetuate a religious and chivalrous art dating from the Middle Ages.
From childhood the music is heard and imbibed along with ones mother's milk. There are
numerous public activities that allow the villagers to practice and hone their skills. The music
is an indispensable component of functions such as weddings, engagements, and births.
There is an uncountable number of songs for such occasions. There are also many songs
associated with planting and harvesting. In these activities the villagers routinely sing of their
hopes, fears and aspirations.
Nowadays the musical performances of the Manganiyars ranging from traditional village
settings to the biggest stages of the world, are in high demand not only because of their
unique voices and instruments but non the less because they move the audience form greatest,
deepest joy to tears of happiness.
