Event 05: Women's songs - Vaḍgaon

Description:
This Event was attended by about 30 women at the home of Mr. Bhondre. Most of A. A. Bake's 1938 Belgaum recordings are in Kannada; the people at this Event were Marathi speakers and did not recognize much. Some Kannada speaking women were invited and one, Malavva Shahpurkar, seemed to recognize the Kannada songs, but was reluctant to sing. Late in the session after the PCM recorder had been dismantled, it was learned that the women apparently specialized in bhajan; bhajans were not recorded. 1. Marriage song. The soloist is Malavva Shahpurkar. Other women respond in unison singing "so" at the end of each solo line. A haldi ceremony song, sung by a bride to her husband, about how the husband should not abuse the bride's parents, so she must behave well. Naik community. 2. Shivaji sapana (lullaby), sung by four to five women, probably sung in Marathi. This song mentions Shiva. A haldi song. Sung in response to the playback of 1938 A. A. Bake recording, Bake 69.8 "Maratha lullaby." 3. Hadaga (1). Sung in Marathi. This song mentions Krishna. The women said it was sung by lower castes. 4. Hadaga (2). Sung in Marathi. 5. Hadaga (3). Sung in Marathi. Eight voices. 6. Hadaga (4). There is a solo singer with others joining. The song mentions a mother-in-law, "Saasur," and Krishna. Sung in Marathi. Single voice.
