西高止山脈土著採蜜者的音樂在壓迫下飆升

從傳統森林搬遷出來的傑努庫魯巴社區在音樂中找到了慰藉和力量。在傑努·庫魯巴·B·拉梅什(Jenu Kuruba B Ramesh) 的領導下，卡圖納亞卡人(Kattunayakkars) 將他們的沮喪情緒轉化為抗議歌曲，揭露了人民所面臨的不公正現象。透過在政府活動中的表演以及與 Charu Hariharan 等音樂家的合作，樂團獲得了認可，他們的音樂也進入了卡納達電影中，將他們與過去聯繫起來並倡導他們的權利。

Amidst the verdant tapestry of the Western Ghats, the Jenu Kuruba community, an ancient lineage of honey gatherers, has endured generations of displacement and marginalization. Their plight has found a poignant voice in the music of The Kattunayakkars, a band formed two decades ago to channel their frustrations and preserve their cultural heritage.

在西高止山脈青翠的掛毯中，傑努庫魯巴社區是一個古老的蜂蜜採集世系，經歷了幾代人的流離失所和邊緣化。他們的困境在 The Kattunayakkars 的音樂中得到了令人心酸的聲音，這是一支二十年前成立的樂隊，旨在發洩他們的挫敗感並保護他們的文化遺產。

Formed by Jenu Kuruba B Ramesh and his fellow tribesmen, The Kattunayakkars initially sang songs of protest, expressing their anger at being forcibly relocated from their ancestral lands in the Nagarhole forest to make way for tiger conservation projects. The band's raw and passionate performances resonated deeply with their community, who had long suffered from systemic neglect and discrimination.

Kattunayakkars 由 Jenu Kuruba B Ramesh 和他的部落成員組成，最初唱著抗議歌曲，表達了他們對被強行從Nagarhole 森林祖傳土地上遷出、為老虎保護項目讓路的憤怒。樂團原始而充滿激情的表演與長期遭受系統性忽視和歧視的社區產生了深刻的共鳴。

Ramesh and his bandmates, drawn from the Jenu Kuruba settlement of Nanachi Gadde Hadi, lamented the lack of basic amenities and opportunities in their new surroundings. "They promised us roads, electricity, and water, but we're still living without them," said Ramesh, his voice tinged with frustration. "We can't even cultivate our own lands or build proper houses."

拉梅什和他的樂隊成員來自納納奇加德哈迪的傑努庫魯巴定居點，他們對新環境中缺乏基本設施和機會表示遺憾。 「他們向我們承諾提供道路、電力和水，但我們仍然生活在沒有這些的情況下，」拉梅什說道，他的聲音中帶著一絲沮喪。 “我們甚至無法耕種自己的土地或建造合適的房屋。”

Despite the challenges, music has served as a beacon of hope for The Kattunayakkars. Through their songs, they have not only protested their treatment but also celebrated the rich cultural traditions of their ancestors. "We realized that music has the power to change things," said J S Rama Krishna, another founding member of the band. "It has opened our eyes to the world and given us a voice."

儘管面臨挑戰，音樂仍然是 Kattunayakkars 的希望燈塔。透過他們的歌曲，他們不僅抗議他們的待遇，還慶祝他們祖先豐富的文化傳統。 「我們意識到音樂有改變事物的力量，」樂團的另一位創始成員 J S Rama Krishna 說。 “它讓我們睜開了眼睛看世界，讓我們有發言權。”

In recent years, The Kattunayakkars have gained wider recognition for their unique musical style, which seamlessly blends traditional instruments with modern influences. They have performed at prestigious venues across India, collaborating with renowned artists like Charu Hariharan and earning critical acclaim for their mesmerizing performances.

近年來，Kattunayakkars 以其獨特的音樂風格獲得了更廣泛的認可，將傳統樂器與現代影響完美融合。他們曾在印度各地的著名場館演出，與 Charu Hariharan 等著名藝術家合作，並以其令人著迷的表演贏得了一致好評。

Their growing popularity has also led to opportunities in the film industry, with the band contributing songs to several Kannada films. "When I heard their music, I was immediately struck by its infectious beat and raw emotion," said Rudra Shiva, the director of the upcoming film "Shabhash," which features The Kattunayakkars. "I believe their music has the power to transcend cultural barriers and resonate with everyone who hears it."

他們的日益受歡迎也為電影業帶來了機會，樂團為多部卡納達語電影創作了歌曲。 「當我聽到他們的音樂時，我立即被其富有感染力的節拍和原始的情感所震撼，」即將上映的以Kattunayakkars 為主角的電影《Shabhash》的導演魯德拉·希瓦(Rudra Shiva ) 說道。 “我相信他們的音樂有能力超越文化障礙，並與每個聽到它的人產生共鳴。”

The Kattunayakkars' success is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Jenu Kuruba community. Through their music, they have not only preserved their cultural heritage but also advocated for their rights and aspirations. Their songs have become a symbol of hope and inspiration for indigenous communities across India, proving that music can indeed be a powerful force for change.

Kattunayakkars 的成功證明了 Jenu Kuruba 社區的韌性和創造力。透過他們的音樂，他們不僅保存了自己的文化遺產，還倡導了自己的權利和願望。他們的歌曲已成為印度各地原住民社區希望和靈感的象徵，證明音樂確實可以成為改變的強大力量。
