Sol Selectas is proud to present “Origins” , a 10 song album from India’s Hamza Rahimtula, and the Rajasthan Folkstars.

The Rajasthan Folkstars, members of the Manganiyars community, are known as the living archives of the Thar Desert, carrying centuries of ballads, devotional songs, and intergenerational knowledge. "In our families, when children are born, they cry in tune," goes a famous saying in their community. 
  
Origins is a vivid tapestry of sound where ancestral instruments meet modern electronic production. Hamza seamlessly fuses classic deep house music grooves reminiscent of Chicago and the soulful NY Underground sounds, with the raw folk expressions of traditional Rajasthani instrumentation and vocals. 
The Rajasthan Folkstars include master musicians Jaisa Khan (khartal), Firoz Khan (bhapang), Bhutta Khan (vocals), Bhawru Khan (sarangi), and Shakoor Khan Langa (algoza flute, morchang). 

Origins is both a tribute and a transformation, elevating traditional sounds for contemporary audiences, and reaffirming the timeless power of music to connect cultures.

The artwork by Helia captures the essence of the vibrant colors expressed in the culture, people and architecture of Rajasthan.
