- Dropati should be in any list when it comes to our roots to the Baithak Gana. Therefore sharing one of her greatest songs from her Let's Sing & Dance with Dropati LP.

Love from the island of Mauritius.
This is out of this world..Cultural Surinamese and Caribbean heritage. All thanks to Dropati Srikantoepadhia, Sahadat Chedie on dholak and the culture promotors Moean Mohamed from TT and the legendary radio personality Rashied Pierkhan from Suriname.
Hats off.... Jai Bihar jai Bhojpuri
Dropati dominated the Indian wedding scene in Trinidad in the late 60’s. Her LP served to preserve the art form so that other singers could use the authentic style as a base for their own later variations. In my mind her album also preserved the culture of the Indian Caribbean village for all posterity . I Still enjoy this collection as it takes me right back to when I was a child.
We have different versions of this song in fiji indian weddings ... didn't know it was sung in Trinidad
@@upashnachand7491 I am not surprised that this is sung in Fiji . The indentured workers originated from basically the same region .. UP / Bihar , with some from Madras ( Chennai ) . So the music traditions among the descendants in Trinidad , Guyana , Surinam , Jamaica , the smaller islands in the Caribbean , Belize , Mauritius , South Africa and Fiji should be quite similar . We in this diaspora have more in common with each other than many realize.
@@tigalbaby thanks for the information. Based on the folk songs and movies I assumed that my descendants were from Bihar and now your comments confirm my assumption. Thanks 😊
@@upashnachand7491 I have seen some clips of indo Fijian weddings . They are almost identical to the Trinidad weddings. The diaspora has certainly preserved the cultural traditions as they were practiced 150 years ago in rural Bihar .
In true tradition this song is still relevant today as it was back when this lady did such an exceptional job.
She is my grandmother and she is born in Suriname, i never knew she was a singer
Danny at least you know now. Lovely lady.
Is she still alive?
No. Dead 27 years ago
Danny Gopi. Shame on you man. She is not a singer but a true Legend. A true Surinamese ambassador
@@modaniem9428 I was a small kid. Nobody told me. I am proud of her of course now.
These songs are in magadhi languages, most prevalent in our region😍
