Rajasthani folk songs have a distinct melody and rhythm that have mesmerised people all over the country even if they don’t know the language. A young singer from Marwar proves this with his impeccable singing skills.

A video shared by Dev Choudhary, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer posted in Gujarat’s Rajkot, shows the young boy, dressed in traditional attire, singing a folk song. He is accompanied by a person playing a dholak, an Indian drum, and another on the harmonium.

The IAS officer captioned his video, “इतनी कम उम्र में इतना शानदार गायन। हमारे मारवाड़ के लोक कलाकार”, which translates to, “Such great singing at this young age. Folk artists from our Marwar”. Many people have echoed the officer’s sentiments and appreciated the boy’s talent. A person commented on the video, “I can’t understand the meaning of the song but his voice is so cute”.

The video shows that there is no dearth of singing talent in India. Last year, an adorable video of a mother-daughter duo singing ‘Agar Tum Saath Ho’ from the 2015 film Tamasha went viral. Before that, a video of Surat resident Tanhaji Jadav and his 3-year-old son practising natya sangeet won people’s hearts.
