Rekha Trivedi

Traditional Garba · Surat, Gujarat

Rekha Trivedi is as much an educator as she is a performer. Her life's mission is the preservation and transmission of traditional Garba forms that predate Bollywood influence — patterns and rhythms from village traditions going back centuries. She performs with barefoot dancers, no amplification in rural settings, and full orchestral spectacle in stadium shows, equally at home in both.
