There several folk singers in Uttarakhand who have never got a big platform and but have kept the folk songs alive. Like Kaborti Devi, there are many siners who are not popluly known.

We will update you about various such folk singers who are leading unknown life.

ANANDI DEVI & SANTRAM
Village: Dhoul Chinna
District: Almora
Uttaranchal
India

AIR artistes in their own right, Anandi Devi & Santram are living a life of penury these days. Though Sant Ram is blind in both eyes and his wife Anandi in one, it does not deter them from moving from place to place just to earn their daily bread. Though gifted with beautiful voices, both of them are forced to live in a small room on the roadside in Dhoul chinna village and sing for a few rupees as tips from passengers getting on

JHUSIA DAMAI

An institution by himself - Jhusia Damai is 86 years old and has been singing for at least the last eight decades.
He lives in the village Dunga Toli very close to the Nepal border and has incorporated elements of Nepali and Kumaoni music in his style of singing which is unique.
He sings tales of warriors of the region and is possibly carrying with him one of the biggest records of oral history.
Though Jhusia Damai has been the subject of research and documentation by several musicologists and has performed far and wide, there is very little chance of his own legacy surviving with the same vigour that he brings to it.
Not only does he sing with a booming voice - he dances along with it. A feat that may be impossible for much younger artistes. He wears an elaborate costume while dancing which includes a skirt and a kind of belt made of the tail of a cow tied with bells.
He used to be accompanied by his two wives - but now one of his wife's role has been taken by his dauther in-law.
