One minute videos from our indigenous guests at Tribal Gathering, with greetings including their native language!

Aasha Sapera is a singer & dancer who comes from the Kalbeliya gypsy tribe of dancers & musicians in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The Kalbeliya are renowned for their symbolic rhythms of the desert & whirlwind movements of highly decorated dresses, & as a performer of several folk dances such as Bhavai, Teratali, Chari, Goomar, Aasha astounds audiences while dancing with pots on her head or doing twists & positions worthy of a contortionist.

Aasha Sapera is a prominent international artist & she has been the prima Kalbeliya ballerina for several editions of “Jodhpur Gipsy Festival”; a celebration that promotes cultural exchange between Rajasthani & Flamenco music. She has also danced at the Tribal Gathering, Riff Festival & performed at many shows in the U.S, Canada, South Africa, Paris, Madrid & Melbourne.

At Tribal Gathering 2020 in Panama, Aasha represented for the Kalbeliya people and held few amazing workshops and breathtaking performances. We are sharing a short interview with a heartical greeting from Aasha, who we sincerely hope will be again with us in future TG editions.
