Snake Charmers mass together and play 'been' in tribute to Bismillah Khan

Details

Description

Massed music by snake charmers playing the been instrument. Known as saperas, snake charmers in India bring forward an age-old tradition of music using the been instrument. They are largely found in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. It is for the first time that so many of them came together to play at once. Enjoy this musical extravaganza! While snake charmers may be typically familiar in terms of stereotypes of India, no one seems to stereotype an image or the sound of so many of them playing at once!
