Folk songs connected with Gandhi offer a way to hear ideas in the language and memory of everyday life. The charkha, khadi and satyagraha appear through different compositions and voices.
Chandan Tiwari’s Charakhwa Chalu Rahe is part of this musical journey. Her artist brief describes work to collect and recreate rare and less widely remembered songs connected with Gandhi.
