“I had heard that if one’s music is good, people abroad appreciate it and even pay for it. Also, I grew up in a tiny village, never went to school and only learnt kamiyacha from my grandfather till then. I didn’t know what it meant to sit in an airplane or live in a city like Paris. I just could not figure how to tell them what I needed,” says Khan, who only speaks Marwari. If I could explain myself here, I could resurrect my instrument too,”says Khan, who is participating in the three-day Ranthambore Music Festival, which opens on January 27.
