Kashmiri woman trying to revive traditional folk ballads Ladishah

Srinagar: A Jammu and Kashmir girl is trying to revive centuries-old Kashmiri art form known as “Ladishah”.

25-year-old girl Syed Areej Safvi always performs the folk ballad to tell tales in a satirical and humorous way.

Safvi writes and performs Ladishah, which makes commentaries on social and political conditions in the society. Humour forms an essential part of its presentation, ANI reported.

 Safvi, who stays in Delhi, has written all of her Ladishah’s in the national capital but told tales of Kashmir.

“I stay in Delhi but my heart stays in Kashmir. I am always updated on what is happening in Kashmir,” she told ANI.

“Performing Ladishah is unlike giving speech or singing. It is part of a traditional folk ballad. If a one does not have confidence one cannot perform this art form,” she told the news agency.
