Next Episode: Swarupa Ananth

It’s the final chapter of our 2023 Ladies Special, and we’re featuring Bhojpuri folk artist Nimisha Shankar. She chats to Mae about how learning classical music as a child wasn’t something that interested her as much as singing folk music, interacting with Bhojpuri-speaking people from over 16 countries, and setting up Recalling Roots, a project that brings together musical & cultural identities from around the world.

Song List:


Peet Chunariya (01:33 - 03:51)


Barse Lagal (17:19 - 19:39)


Duniya (27:24 - 30:28)
