Lisa Ray Instagram – Posted @withregram • @barodesignindia In 1977, Kesarbai Kerkar’s thumri ‘Jaat Kahan Ho, Akele’ (‘where do you go alone?’) was immortalised alongside the greatness of Mozart and Bach as it bolt into interstellar space, loaded onto the ‘Golden Record’ on NASA’s Voyager 1. The fascinating record hosts sounds and images from Earth, sent out with the ambitious aim of communicating our existence to extraterrestrials (aliens, if you will). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 44 years of space travel and 19 billion celestial miles later, just the thought of Kerkar’s rendition in raga Bhairavi hurtling through infinite space is mind boggling, let alone the infinitesimally minuscule chance of it being found someday, somewhere, by someone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘Jaat Kahan Ho, Akele’, a euphemism that suited the fate of Voyager 1, and our own fragile human existence… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Come, take a seat… Let’s celebrate the regenerative forces that nature, words, music and art are. #barodesign #artculture
