During the Spring 2014 semester, a group within CMU OM called iShanti collaborated to create a rendition of a favorite song of theirs, Manmohini Morey from the Hindi movie Yuvvraaj.

We chose this song because of its heavy influences from the Hindustani classical raga, Bhimpalasi that we had learned while growing up from our respective singing gurus. We also decided to do a bit of a mashup with this song and mixed a small piece (bandish) called "Jaa Jaa Re Apne Mandirwa" in.

We hope you enjoy listening to this piece!

Singers - Aishwarya Renu, Sayali Vaidya, Udgeetha Mallampalli,  Nandini Ramakrishnan, 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 AR Rahman and Vijay Prakash for the creation of such a wonderful piece of music. All song rights go to them, we just simply covered this piece.
