Here's a version of the famous Nadia by Nitin Sawhney - a song that I love to pieces! This recording was the result of a late night jam at Krimson Avenue Studios to try out a new microphone and it was recorded in one go with minimal work on it post recording. Happy listening! Lovely work as always by Prithvi Chandrasekhar on this track. Thanks PC!

We thank Shubha for having shared the track with us! Here's we why people at Kranti love Shubha:

"Sadly in Indian popular music we have chosen to concentrate only on frivolous romance, on cafeteria flirtations rather than anything else. The women’s  movement has some lovely songs. But it’s sung only by people within the movements. I am waiting for the day when everyone will sing those, a day when they’ll be taught in every school. We talk of so many campaigns against female infanticide, but have you, in the past few years, heard any song that is taught to children? To prove to them that it doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman. There is equality amongst the genders. We have a very long way to go. Lots of songs to sing.”

Singer: Zara Madani
Featuring: Muazzam Ali Khan
Language: Braj

Finding the union of eastern classical inspiration and deep, encompassing electronic vibes is Zara Madani’s ‘Neer Bharan’. The song is the product of an experiment that took the pattern of an electronic track and placed the layers of an age old classically based bandish within the fold to create a story that’s almost cinematic. With the elements of Teen Taal, the song finds its driving inspiration in the nighttime raag Baageshri stirring up a feeling of dark, delicate longing. The song in its carnal nature is a whirlwind of female sensuality and haunting temptation. The wordings derive from folklore of the subcontinent painting the moment of yearning set against the backdrop of the night’s enchantment. As the lyrics flow, the song’s progression is almost prowling in its search for the song’s object of obsession – the alluring peeve Nand Laal – a character thematically portrayed in the vocals of Muazzam Ali Khan towards the song’s resolution. A song that has an almost theatrical feel in its tale, the Eastern chant like rhythm is brought to life with the constant electronic groove by the Serbian house band and the percussive elements of the Dhol while the String Orchestra encircles the storm layering the depths of human angst in the face of Separation.

Neer Bharan Kaise Jayun In Kamod

This was a recording of raga karaharapriya that I had played I suppose more than three years back. I think I can play better now but felt some of the phrasings that I did play in this were quite decent enough to be shared with all of you... so here you go.... a breeze of Karaharapriya (in the same lines of https://soundcloud.com/indian_music_fan_2/arabhi) forgive any flaws etc.. :)

Lyrics Of The Song..

My Heart Will Go On... "Nadine"

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
