T.M. Krishna to lead a concert for equality in Bengaluru
The Jogappas are a small transgender subculture in north Karnataka, parts of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, dedicated to goddess Yellamma (Renuka). They make a living by Joga (begging), singing and dancing.
Mr. Krishna adds that many elements will be present, including Carnatic. “The Jogappas singing is fresh, open, carefree and real. We don’t have that quality in our singing. Their folk has similarities with bhakti music and namasankirtan traditions. At places, we will cross over to each other’s forms,” he says.
