Dropati - Manikdhar Jhabeeya (Lawa)

[@ingaluz7981]

I am Trunidadian, born in 1968. I have beautiful memories of this music, loved by my mother in my childhood, and it has helped to shape the repertoire of music I still appreciate. Blessings to Dropati and all our ancestors who paved the way for their future generations to step confidently forward into the world.

Hola.. y yo, desde Venezuela... Me encantan las canciones en Bhopurí, mí papá era hindú, de Guyana, al lado de Venezuela.., 😊

Dropati dominated the Indian wedding scene in Trinidad in the late 60’s. Her LP served to preserve the art form so that other singers could use the authentic style as a base for their own later variations. In my mind her album also preserved the culture of the Indian Caribbean village for all posterity . I Still enjoy this collection as it takes me right back to when I was a child.

[@upashnachand7491]

We have different versions of this song in fiji indian weddings ... didn't know it was sung in Trinidad

[@tigalbaby]

@@upashnachand7491 I am not surprised that this is sung in Fiji . The indentured workers originated from basically the same region .. UP / Bihar , with some from Madras ( Chennai ) . So the music traditions among the descendants in Trinidad , Guyana , Surinam , Jamaica , the smaller islands in the Caribbean , Belize , Mauritius , South Africa and Fiji should be quite similar . We in this diaspora have more in common with each other than many realize.

[@upashnachand7491]

@@tigalbaby thanks for the information. Based on the folk songs and movies I assumed that my descendants were from Bihar and now your comments confirm my assumption. Thanks 😊

[@tigalbaby]

@@upashnachand7491 I have seen some clips of indo Fijian weddings . They are almost identical to the Trinidad weddings. The diaspora has certainly preserved the cultural traditions as they were practiced 150 years ago in rural Bihar .

[@modaniem9428]

This is out of this world..Cultural Surinamese and Caribbean heritage. All thanks to Dropati Srikantoepadhia, Sahadat Chedie on dholak and the culture promotors Moean Mohamed from TT and the legendary radio personality Rashied Pierkhan from Suriname.
