The Siddis fascinated me because of their history and who they represent," says percussionist/composer Sarathy Korwar of his recent muses. His album, Day to Day, uses the music of the Siddis of Rajasthan (based in Ratanpur), who are descendents of the Bantus from Southeast Africa, who travelled to India in 628 AD. "Some of their lyrics are in Swahili, and they use instruments like the Malunga, which is a single string bow instrument, much like the instruments from Africa," says Korwar, who is in Mumbai working with the rappers of Dharavi on his next album.
