Lavani

Lavani

Lavani is a form of music popular in Maharashtra and southern Madhya Pradesh, India. The word Lavani comes from the word "Lavanya" which means beauty. The Nirguni Lavani (philosophical) and the Shringari Lavani (erotic) are the two types. The devotional music of the Nirguni cult is popular all over Malwa.

Although beginnings of Lavani can be traced back to 1560s, it came into prominence during the later days of the Peshwa rule. Several celebrated Marathi Shahir poet-singers, which include Ram Joshi (1762–1812), Anant Fandi (1744-1819), Honaji Bala (1754-1844) and Prabhakar (1769-1843) contributed significantly for the development of this genre of music. Honaji Bala introduced "tabla" in place of the traditional "dholki". He also developed the "baithakichi Lavani", a sub-genre, which is presented by the singer in the seated position.

Satyabhamabai Pandharpurkar and Yamunabai Waikar are the popular present day exponents of Lavani.
