JVF presents a special event for our young friends – a variety of folk forms from across Rajasthan. Mainly, the Bhauroopiya -‘Bhau’ stands for many and ‘roop’ for appearance - one who entertains people by putting on many guises. The artists uncannily imitate numerous other ‘personalities’, complete in manner, speech, gait, foible etc. right up to the last detail.
Other performances for children will include those by Nats (and jugglers), professional acrobats, dancers and singers; Kachhi Ghodi - dances of the false horse riders; Bhopa - sacred musicians singing devotional songs and reciting stories from intricate Phad scrolls about the life of Lord Pabu, accompanied by their instrument, the Rawanhattha and Kathputli – puppet theatre. |

Tenor and soprano saxophonist Yuri Honing (1965) is considered one of the leading representatives of a generation of Dutch musicians who have established a name for them in the Dutch and international music scene. As a sign of his virtuosity, when just student in his final year of study he opened for jazz Maestro Branford Marsalis.
His debut album, Yuri Honing Trio: A Matter of Conviction (1992), received many favorable reviews and the collaboration with bassist Tony Overwater and drummer Joost Lijbaart became a constant factor in his career. Winner of the Edison award (Dutch Grammy), Honing performed with the legendary guitarist Pat Metheny and bassist Scott Colley at North Sea Jazz Festival in 2003.
For the very first time, at the Rajasthan Day Celebrations - Jaipur Festival 2008, the Trio will perform with our very own Rajasthani Folk musicians to create a truly unusual and soul stirring evening.
