Kajri derived from the Bhojpuri word Kajra, or Kohl, is a genre of semi-classical singing, originating from the Indian subcontinent, popular in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.[1] It is often used to describe the longing of a maiden for her lover as the black monsoon cloud come hanging in the summer skies, and the style is notably sung during the rainy season.[2]
It comes in the series of season songs, like Chaiti, Hori and Sawani, and is traditionally sung in the villages and towns of Uttar Pradesh: around Banaras, Mirzapur, Mathura, Allahabad and the Bhojpur regions of Bihar.
Some noted exponents of Kajari are Rasoolan Bai, Siddheshwari Devi, Begum Akhtar, Shobha Gurtu, Girija Devi, Pandit Channulal Mishra, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Sharda Sinha, and Rajan and Sajan Mishra.
