Event Description
The session will begin with a talk by Dr. Sayan Dey exploring the different forms of trans-religious, trans-communal and trans-continental musical and spiritual performances of the African communities across the Indian Ocean. These historically influenced the development of societies and cultures in India, with a specific focus on intercultural musical practices of the African Indians in India (specifically with the Siddi community in Gujarat) and indentured South African Indians in South Africa.
Discussed in the session will be practices of the Zikrs, Dhamaals, and various other Afro-Indian folkloristic performances of the Siddis in Gujarat, and how they have contributed towards shaping the multicommunal and multireligious practices in Gujarat and other parts of India today.
After the talk will be a panel discussion with Dr Payel Dutta Chowdhury and Elizabeth Thomas followed by a Q&A with the audience.
