We aim to raise funds for Jodhpur Riff's Coronavirus Relief Project supporting folk artist communities in Rajasthan
Since 2012 members of Shooglenifty have been regularly collaborating with musicians of Rajasthan. The band was lucky enough to perform at Jodhpur Riff Festival in 2014, 2015 and 2017. In 2017 Shooglenifty recorded an album Written in Water with Dhun Dhora, an eight-piece band of master musicians from the Thar Desert close to the Pakisthan border.
These musicians, our friends, and many like them have been particularly harshly affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. We have therefore decided to start this campaign to raise much needed funds to support the Coronavirus Relief Project being run by Jodhpur Riff and the Jaipur Heritage Trust.
Our prize draw features prizes donated by the band themselves and we think they are really special. They are:
Tickets are £5 each and you can buy as many as you like. Good luck!
About the Coronavirus Relief Project (from Jodhpur Riff):
The traditional musicians of Rajasthan are at the heart of our work at Jodhpur RIFF and therefore under the aegis of the Mehrangarh Museum Trust, we have initiated the Coronavirus Relief Project.
You can help us tremendously by supporting this prize draw. The project aims to alleviate the suffering of those artist communities who need the most assistance by providing them with rations of food and covering costs of their healthcare as required.
From April 2020 – January 2021 we were able to distribute over 1700 kits to artist families across Rajasthan (each kit serving a family for 7 days) and more than 70 artists received either financial or healthcare aid - our total support outlay was approximately £27,000.
In 2021 the impact has been even harsher than in the previous year we will need at least £35,000 to support our artists through the next 6-8 months. This year the food kits contain more rations, serving a family of 6-8 people for two weeks. Each kit costs Rs. 1900 (around £19) and includes sufficient quantities of wheat flour, rice, lentils, onions, potatoes, tea, sugar, salt and essential spices, disinfecting soap and masks.
The Jodhpur RIFF team and our village representatives are all working on a voluntary basis and all donations will be used only to purchase food kits or medicines and medical services.
In the UK, Jaipur Heritage Trust, a UK registered charity and which has partnered with Jodhpur RIFF in numerous projects, has agreed to accept donations on our behalf for this relief project.
