Mushaira

Mushaira can be translated as poetry recitals. Mushaira has a long tradition in Urdu poetry, Urdu poetry coming from the heritage of Arabic and Persian and folk songs of Urdu is supposed to be recited. In the earlier days popularity of a poet was measured by his ability to extract the praises from Mushaira audience.

Mushaira of these days are an attempt to keep that tradition alive. Any one close to Northern California should try to attend this mushaira. Shaharyaar is an awarded poet from India and Khamakha Hyderabadi will sure to make you laugh with his wit and humor.
