Last week, for the very first time, Karbala Rivayat singers of Agasanur village of Ballari district performed outside their village, winning over the hearts of the audience gathered at the Bangalore International Centre (BIC).
Karbala Rivayat (that describes the battle of Karbala in the form of a ballad) is performed during the first 10 days of the Muharram month. The singers are always passionate performers from various communities in the village of Agasanur.
At BIC, singers Dose Iranna and Usman Ali (both in their 70s), 65-year-old Raghava Reddy and the youngest member Sadaq Ali performed in their rich voices accompanied by anklets with humongous bells, to not miss a single beat.
