Hailing from Moolsagar, located at a distance of 8 km from Jaisalmer, Mr. Taga Ram Bheel has been to 35 nations to represent the folk art of Rajasthan. He got on stage at an age as early as 20.
He has a room full of recognition but a heart full of disappointments. Even though he has been to 35 nations multiple times, he is not paid what he deserves. Showing dissent towards the Maru Mahotsav organized by the Rajasthan Tourism Department, he states, "The government is not aware of which artists are rich, which are poor."
Listen to him talk about the difficulty that he has to go through while playing Alghoza, the exercises they do on a daily basis, and his institute for teaching Alghoza, among others, in this exclusive interview. For further information, refer to our website, www.folktothefolks.in
