The Tankbund Blues Band
Thu Dec 26, 7:30 PM
Som Nandivada
An Evening of Reunion - The Tankbund Blues Band is getting back On The Road.
Remember when we had so much fun, out at those happy trails? It's that time again.
The Tankbund Blues Band - it's a whisper from the past in a way, but the nth harmonics continue on.
And, evolving from there, it’s quite a morphogenetic entity now. Some of the deck hands are ghosts, yes, but the fleet has a few material schooners as well, to accompany the Flying Dutchman.
When did it all begin? Some proto-vibrations were there in the late eighties, but essentially, it would tag back to one point in the early nineties.
There was an open stage event at the YMCA in Secunderabad, India, where local performers were given time slots to do their stuff. Several pop acts did their thing, with due dosages of flash and pizzazz, but the crowd wasn't tuned in, somehow.
Next, these guys came up, a drummer who was totally spooked, and probably looked like he’d just stepped out of a morgue, and a trio of nerds on the guitars who asked for folding chairs to sit down on.
Then they announced something to the effect of "We're going to do a song called Hidden Treasure by a band called Traffic".
And the sound technician at the side of the stage, he spontaneously erupted in whoops of joy, like as though an oxygen cylinder had been thrown at a drowning man.
And the audience caught on as well.
Well, that day the band didn't shake any trees or much else, what with the drummer coming down with frozen calf and ankle muscles, even for such a basic beat. But they did do a couple of originals following Traffic. And the audiences opened their hearts to them, gave them rope, and room to grow.
That was the night The Tankbund Blues Band was born. They were not even called that yet, but the concept of triggering "Back o' Town Blues" where it was totally unexpected, it sealed the fate of that name.
It was unexpected because, out there, there wasn’t much of a context for taking up classic rock as a medium. The only name that was heard of in India back then who were doing this stuff, was Rock Machine, later known as Indus Creed. But other than them, it was a few bands strewn around the country (many of them extremely gifted and talented no doubt, but essentially cover bands with maybe some original work in their back-pockets but nothing that reached out to the wider audiences), and pretty much no one else who was ready to make classic rock their primary thing in life.
To be sure lots of really great stuff was going on in India around that time in other fronts, fusion, jazz etc., but not classic rock per se.
Today the scene is quite different though, but that was the deal back then.
In such a context, calling themselves a Blues Band was, so to speak, a brown man’s adaptation of the equation which the black man had with the white man run world. Inter-positioned with that were the South Asian aspects of the love/hate relationship with the Caucasian ethos, arising from out of the turmoil and travails of British occupation. Adopting classic rock was the “love” side of the coin, for there is no denying the power it possesses – and what the other side of the coin would do to the inside of the person, was one of the drivers of their blues.
They had no real exposure to the original blues (the cotton pickin’ and Chitlin circuit based music), but these kinds of considerations were what led to a brown man’s take on classic rock to go by the name of a blues band.
Meanwhile, the drummer continued to deal with the demons in his muscles and the rest of the guys had their own demons, and over the next few years they had a few more such shows that inexorably shaped out to be abject misery.
And then somewhere in the mid-Nineties they had one magic night at The Black Cadillac. That helped keep the torch alive.
For years the drummer plowed on in true pig headed fashion, trying maybe to be a tragedy act, doomed by fate to keep attempting impossible tasks, and by the constraints of his muscles.
But he wasn't really cut out to be a tragic figure. So gradually he made peace with his demons, to some extent at least. And eventually he was able to hold the beat.
Some of his current work can be seen, with buddies from The Long Shot, out at
www.youtube.com/user/duhalchi
Now, back then, why did he persist with his tragedy act for so many years, so very recalcitrant? Why did he not drop it and go do something else?
Well, he was following the instructions of the root genius of the band, the guy who is now at happier hunting grounds, who had laid out the dictat, "dude, you're the drummer and that's that. Now make it happen". And so it was.
To many of the guys from the band from back then (affectionately known now as VPs of SFOTO), here's hoping you'll tune in again more actively. And of course this event at Lamakaan is the opportunity to do so
🙂
The Band now aims to channel the fervor to the cause and glory of Brihan Dasht, which is explained further below.
-------------
Koi veerani si veerani hai,
Dasht ko dekhke ghar yaad aaya
-Ghalib
Translation:
There is some kind of desolation in my head,
Looking at the wilderness, I thought of home.
Dasht means wilderness. And Brihan Dasht means wilderness in a larger sense. Or in other words, a superset of what it means in a local context. Sort of like how you have Toronto, and then there is GTA, which is the Greater Toronto Area. In the same way, Brihan Mumbai is the Greater Mumbai Area.
So, if you extrapolate out from our world out to all existence, and look at the sum total of order and chaos and everything therein within totality that is wilderness, then that would be Brihan Dasht.
Brihan Dasht is raw spirit. The Tankbund Blues Band songs speak to this. Think Steppenwolf - they used to be known as Sparrow, and then they renamed themselves, and came up with Born to be Wild.
And so it is with Dasht.
In Indian lore, tales are told of King Janaka who while being well adjusted to what was known as "bhog" based life (the equivalent modern term is consumerism) and to his kingly duties, was simultaneously able to maintain his inner dwellings in rarefied regimes of transcendent being.
In like manner, someone who is in a state of Dasht, is reasonably at peace with the evolution of the corporate cubicles based lifestyle, and regulated suburban mode "civilized" human existence - but the essential spirit remains raw.
And thus is the music of The Tankbund Blues Band.

Padmabhushan P Leela - Singer
Sun Dec 29, 7:30 PM
Saichand T
Porayathu Leela, better known as P. Leela, was a popular Indian playback singer. She was awarded Padma Bhushan posthumously in 2006.
Starting at the age of 13, she has sung about 5000 film songs in all the South Indian languages Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. She also sang in one Bengali film and in Sinhala movies. Her songs are known for their emotional touch and classical discipline. She made a name for herself by singing in her mellifluous voice both for the film industry and in carnatic music She considered it an honour to have sung in the same period as M S Subbulakshmi, M L Vasanthakumari and D K Pattammal - three giants of Carnatic music. She has worked under all great music directors and has sung with all the major singers of the South Indian film industry.
In the 1950s Leela was busy singing in all the South Indian languages. Her songs in films like Patala Bhairavi, Missamma, Pelli Chesi Choodu, Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu, Gundamma Katha, Lava kusa are the greatest melodies and remembered even today after many decades.
Vijaya productions' first movie, Shaukaru, did not fare well at the box office. However, the film had great melodies by Ghantasala and Leela.
In the film Missamma ( made asMissiyamma in Tamil), the songs by S. Rajeswara rao combined with voices of A.M. Raja, P. Leela and P. Susheela have become immortal, casting a magical spell over the listeners.
Vijaya productions sixth film made in the 1957, Maya Bazaar (directed by K.V.Reddy) is a true classic. The song "kalyana samaiyal satham (vivaha bhojanammu)" in the film still stands the test of time..
In one of the interviews Leela recalled that while recording the songs of `Maya Bazar, the composer took 28 takes of a song and they used the fifth take.
She worked as a music director for a film called ‘Chinnari Pappulu’ (Telugu) in 1968. The film was produced exclusively by women.

Diploma in Corruption - Play
Sat Jan 4, 7:30 PM
RANGADHARA THEATRE STREAMS
DIPLOMA IN CORRUPTION, A social satire in Hindustani language on Corruption in high places is a burning topic of today, but corruption in the life of a common man is a matter of equally grave concern.
This is part Month-long theatre festival by Rangdhara, Sutradhar at Lamakaan over Sat & Sun weekends at 7:30pm in January.
The play voices these concern in form of a satire in which a middle class retired school teacher places an advertisement in local newspaper about coaching classes for etiquettes and manners (Shishtachar). The advertisement is wrongly published as "coaching classes for Bhrashtachar (Corruption)". This leads to visits by a policeman, an officer from Municipal Corporation, and the education department who bully him. The hapless teacher ends up paying bribes to keep them quiet and not take any action against him. To top this, an ex-chief engineer from mining department offers himself as a faculty member. The exasperated teacher seriously decides to drop his idea of coaching classes for Shishtachar. Entry of a eunuch looking for any degree or diploma, hoping to achieve some sort of status in the society changes the tone of the play from sarcastic to serious. The teacher rejects the eunuch for enrollment and the eunuch lashes out and ridicules the teacher for paying bribes to save his skin. "He who gives bribes is more responsible for corruption than he who receives them.” This scourge of corruption is like Bhishmacharya of Mahabharat, who is unconquerable, and cannot be killed” bemoans the teacher. “Do not be afraid of consequences. Fight this war, become Arjun. We the descendents of Shikhandi will join hands with you” declares the eunuch as the play draws curtain.
The play is writter by Surender Chaturvedi and directed by Prakash Phadnis.

Fight this war, become Arjun. We the descendents of Shikhandi will join hands with you” declares the eunuch as the play draws curtain.
The play is writter by Surender Chaturvedi and directed by Prakash Phadnis.

PARTNERS - a play in Hindi
Sun Jan 5, 7:30 PM
RANGADHARA THEATRE STREAM
PARTNERS, A play originally by SANDESH KULKARNI and translated and adapted into Hindi by SHANTA KULKARNI.
This is part Month-long theatre festival by Rangdhara, Sutradhar at Lamakaan over Sat & Sun weekends at 7:30pm in January.
`Partners' depicts the bonding among the girls in the hostel. The play revolves around three girls staying in a hostel, one pursuing a job and the other two being students.
Though all the three have different attitudes, they have a good rapport and address each other as partner.
The play written by Sandesh Kulkarni and directed by Prakash Phadnis looks at the change of attitudes when they have to deal with a problem.
Vrushali is a sincere hard-working girl, who is systematic and is also religious. Her roommate Madhavi is tomboyish and cannot tolerate injustice in society especially to women. She is bold and frank. The other girl Priyanka is naive and simple. She is in her own world of imagination, smitten by a boy in the locality.
Vrushali, while attending an interview for a job is raped by the employers and she returns to the room shattered.
Madhavi insists on lodging a complaint with the police and making it an issue by informing the press, but the other two do not agree as it would lead to tarnishing the image of the girl and her family. A dejected Vrushali plans to leave the city, without intimating the partners.
However, a defiant Madhavi cajoles her and makes her change the decision, to fight injustice and move on in life.
The play showcases how women and girls who stay away from their homes need to stay united and share their problems and overcome the same.
Directed by VAISHALI KELKAR.

LAMAKAAN ELECTION SPECIALS - SERIES OPENER
Hindutva and Other Fundamentalisms: Fault-lines of Indian Democracy
3 part lecture and discussion with Biju Mathew. A Lamakaan Night School Primer.
The 2014 election season has seen the re-emergence of Hindutva as a defining feature of Indian politics all over again with Narendra Modi and his brand of communal politics. This three part lecture/discussion will excavate the 1920s origins of Hindutva, its founding influences and its role in the nationalist movement, followed by a brief outline of its withering in the immediate post independence era. The lectures will then track the re-emergence of the Hindutva movement in post Emergency India and argue for the political economic and cultural crisis that marks its most recent re-emergence under the tutelage of Narendra Modi. This is a must for those seeking a solid and well grounded understanding of Hindutva and the struggle around secularism.
The lecture by Biju will be majorly in English but participants are welcome to take up discussions in English, Urdu, Hindi and Telugu too.
All are invited, entry is free.

Handloom Bazaar
Sun Jan 12, 10:30 AM
saraswati
Lamakaan hosts a Handloom Bazaar for Sale and exhibit the Fabric of Freedom.
Woven in to the wonderful tapestry that is India, handloom weaving is a 4000 year old tradition. Handloom weaving is one of India’s predominant rural economic activities.This unique tradition has surpassed ages solely because of the magnificence of its craft, the mastery of its makers and patronizing consumers. Handlooms had a glorious past and o a penurious present. The handloom weavers used to live in a life of comfort and complacence in the past. They were respected for their invaluable craft that symbolized the essence of our rich culture and tradition. However, as time wheeled by machines began to exude dominance over human labour. In the state of Andhra Pradesh alone, there are about 320,000 handlooms on which about 500,000 families directly and 20,00,000 families indirectly depend for livelihoods. The recent years have witnessed migrations to cities in large numbers by handloom cotton weavers, taking up of alternative employment in rural industrial units and in extreme cases even starvation deaths or suicide deaths. The monthly handloom bazaar is one of the initiatives we are undertaking to bring back the wonder of handloom into mainstream popular culture, thus increasing the market for these products. In addition the exhibition cum sale hopes to educate the people at large on the issues of handloom weavers, and also on how to recognize the "real handloom" from fakes and "powerloom products". The bazaar will also include talks from time to time, display of weaving skills, and also will encourage children to learn these skills in an interactive way - like learning to use the "charkha" etc

SLEEPLESS.. - A performance
Wed Jan 15, 7:30 PM
Parnab Mukherjee
SLEEPLESS..
....a site-specific spoken installation tribute to Albert Camus on his birth centenary with extracts from his path-breaking book on pacifism called "Neither Victims Nor Executioners"
Synopsis:
“There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.”
― Albert Camus
“There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
Do we really sleep? Or do we close our eyes and run away like an escapist from the world that burns from the lessons of the past that refuses to heal.
"What with the general fear of a war now being prepared by all nations and the specific fear of murderous ideologies, who can deny that we live in a state of terror? We live in terror because persuasion is no longer possible; because man has been wholly submerged in History; because he can no longer tap that part of his nature, as real as the historical part, which he recaptures contemplating the beauty of nature and of human faces; because we live in a world of abstractions, of bureaus and machines, of absolute ideas and of crude messiahnism. We suffocate among people who think they are absolutely right, whether in their machines or in their ideas. And for all who can live only
an atmosphere of human dialogue and sociability, silence is the end of the world."
Directed and Designed by Parnab Mukherjee
Performers: Bhavana Nissima, Sandeep Raj, Nayantara Nanda Kumar
Duration: 40 minutes without any intermission

The emergence of AAP: a Symptom or Solution?
The political scenario in India witnessed a new wave of change with the emergence of Aam Admi Party winning the Delhi Election. Everyone is talking about it and the talk has penetrated to almost every city/ towns and maybe village. People associate a lot of hope with the party.

What is the current strategy of AAP and its implication for democratic India? Why do people believe in the party as a promising hope? Or other way round? Are these promises realistic? And are these promises what people actually want?

Mah Laqa Bai Chanda

Vinay Varma
Sutradhar Presents 'Mah Laqa Bai Chanda'(A solo performance in URDU)
Written by: Dr O R Bawa
Enacted by: Ratika Sant Keswani
Directed by: Vinay Varma
Mah Laqa Bai Chanda was an 18th century Urdu poet and the first woman to have a diwan (anthology) of her work. A multi-faceted personality renowned for her multi-lingual skills, mellifluous voice and dancing, she was also an accomplished archer and horse woman. Known to be brave, she participated in all the three wars fought by Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah the II. The Nizam conferred upon her the title of Mah Laqa Bai Chanda meaning Visage of the
Moon along with the Jagir or estate of Adikmet and other honours. Mah Laqa Bai Chanda was a powerful woman in the court of the second and third Nizams of Hyderabad as she was frequently consulted by the rulers on policy matters. She was admitted into the omrah, the elite nobility and was the only woman to have been awarded this status.
Mah Laqa Bai Chanda was a socially conscious and enlightened woman who returned her debt to society by establishing a residential institution to provide less privileged girls educational opportunities and impart cultural training - a concept unique for those times.
This is perhaps the first time that a theatrical performance on the legendary woman is being performed and is intended to bring to life Hyderabad's most famous woman and acknowledge her immense contribution to Hyderabad's rich legacy.
