Mr. Raj Ramkissoon, Kirtan Coordinator
Professionally, Raj is involved in real estate and also serves as the manager of the Ground Shakers tassa band. However, his passion extends beyond the realms of his career. From an early age, Raj found himself immersed in the enchanting realms of Ramayan, Chowtal, and the rhythmic cadence of singing. Raj’s father, a custodian of linguistic and mythological wisdom, imparted the teachings of Hindi and the epic tales of Ramayan. This foundation laid the groundwork for Raj’s profound connection with diverse forms of singing—whether it be the melodic narratives of Ramayan, the rhythmic beats of Chowtal, or the devotional tunes of Bhajans—a legacy inherited from his father, the visionary founder, and leader of the Sumatie Sabha Ramayan and Chowtal Group. Recognizing the tireless endeavors of his forefathers, who diligently preserved the cultural flame through four generations spanning from India to Trinidad, Raj also carries the responsibility to ensure its resonance in the Canadian landscape. In his role as the kirtan coordinator at RKMCC, his mission is clear: to empower the succeeding generation so that they can help to elevate our rich musical cultural tapestry to new heights in the Region of Waterloo.
