‘Jhoola’ literally means a swing. Traditionally, a jhoola is a seasonal folk song from some parts of northern India that is connected to the monsoons. It is a lilting, lighter composition that has been incorporated into the Hindustani classical repertoire. A jhoola’s lyrics are replete with sensuous depictions of the romance between Lord Krishna, the flute-playing Hindu God and his consort Radha in a jhoola (swing-rope) which has been tied across the branches of a kadamb or burflower tree that blooms during the monsoons in India.

Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande gives a brilliant presentation of this lighter piece elaborating Raag Gaara along with hues of other ragas. After a graceful and evocative exploration of the melodic lines, she introduces the “lagghi”, a short rhythmic intensification towards the end that is reminiscent of a dancer’s footwork. Vinod Lele accompanies well and synchs perfectly with the lagghi, taking the song to an exciting space. Vinay Mishra’s sprightly accompaniment on the harmonium is heart-warming.
Monsoons are the harbinger of life in agricultural India. The intense monsoon downpours satiate the parched soil and soul and make for an obvious association with feelings of longing and romantic love. Many folk repertoires and lyrics have been inspired from this romantic association with the monsoons from time immemorial.
