Описание: Raahein Gharana presents
Rhythmic Roots: Uttar Pradesh

Presents ‘Maya’ - a Nirgun Sufi folk song from Uttar Pradesh. Rooted in UP’s folk melodies fused with spiritual depth, this track pulses with the heartbeat of heritage: a reminder that true repose lies beyond Maya’s mirage, in the eternal rhythm of the divine.

Rhythmic Roots — a series of 28 songs (one from each Indian state) — is our heartfelt tribute to India’s folk heritage, reviving traditional voices, instruments and stories from across the country. 'Maya' marks the seventh chapter in this journey.

RAAHEIN Gharana creates independent regional music across India, focusing on forgotten or underappreciated live instruments, ensuring global audiences recognize the diversity beyond sitar and tabla.

Our Vision
Accessibility: Building a "human library" of Indian sounds and instruments, reviving those that have been dusted or forgotten.
Sustainability: Empowering underprivileged and/or unsung traditional musicians by up-skilling them and pairing them with contemporary composers, lyricists, and vocalists.
Innovation: Creating a generative space where traditional practices meet modern creativity to keep these sounds alive.
