Blind to Bounds

The word Kajri is possibly a derivative of Kajal – meaning Kohl or Black. In a country of sizzling hot summers – the black monsoon clouds bring with them relief and great joy – with a need to sing out loud. This is the moment for the Kajri to be sung.
Even though Kajri is sung in a large region – Mirzapur is considered the real home of the Kajri.
