During the Spring 2014 semester, a group within CMU OM called iShanti collaborated to create a rendition of a song that piqued their interest, Albela Sajan from the Hindi movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

We chose this song because of its heavy influences from the Hindustani classical raga, Ahir Bhairav that we had learned while growing up from our respective singing gurus.

We hope you enjoy listening to this piece!

Singers - Sayali Vaidya, Madhav Iyengar, Nivi Pemmasani, and Kamakshi Sharma
Tabla - Tejasvir Singh Rekhi
Arrangement - Shreepal Shah and Kamakshi Sharma
Special thanks to Riccardo Schulz from the Carnegie Mellon CFA recording studio.

We would also like to thank Ismail Darbar, Shankar Mahadevan, Kavita Krishnamurty, and Ustad Sultan Khan for the creation of such a wonderful piece of music. All song rights go to them, we just simply covered this piece.
