Tutors
Dr Jyoshna La Trobe will share her thirty years of performance practice and field work in Rarh, India. La Trobe is author of over 30 albums of kirtan and songs. She completed her PhD at SOAS, in London in 2010 and has her own Collection of Music Culture housed at the World Music Archives, British Library.
Kavita learnt khol drum rhythms from Kirtan master Sri Jagaran Mahato, Jyoshna's kirtan teacher. Her first experience in India gave her enough rhythmic knowledge to keep practicing for a year. Since then she goes back with Jyoshna on regular basis to learn the traditional rhythms and khol paterns.
