Welcome to Funkar's new home on the web!
Please look around, learn about our organization, listen to some samples of our latest recording: Maenzraath - Kashmiri Wedding Songs, and if you like what you hear, buy a copy via our website using PayPal!
We are very excited about Maenzraath, which includes a variety of folk music, ranging devotional naat to lighthearted love songs to chakr. Also included are several couplets of vanvun, traditional Kashmiri poetry that women recite at weddings. Please listen to audio samples, see pictures of the recording session, and browse through the CD booklet. Here's a little peek at the cover, which was taken from Kashmiri nikkahnamah written in 1941.
Before we sign off, we would like to thank Harriet Spear for her brilliant work on the CD booklet and cover design, and Sabih Mir for putting together this lovely website. We would also like to thank our many individual donors who have made this new recording a possibility.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, requests, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
