This beautful ghazal’s lyrics are about the power of true love: what happens at that beautiful moment.
“Aaj Rang Hai” (“Today There is Color Or Joy) is a track from The Book of Ragas vol. 2 that will be re-released in April.
Based on the morning raga Sankarabharanam (Ionian mode or major scale).
A dream come true to be on WBGO!!! Thank you for the interview (feature to come next week).

As you can imagine, there is not a lot of raga based orchestral repertoire out there, and I’m hoping to make a contribution in a humble way.
A few years ago, the NJ Symphony played some of my music &I’m excited to do more, and some wonderful prospects of doing more @njsymphony
What an absolute joy and honor it was being live on television this morning with Ken Rosato of On New Jersey, talking about SHAYAN, Sounds of Kumbha, and Herstory.
Thank you for giving me the platform to talk about these projects and the stories.

Each and every artist on SHAYAN has shared the stage with me in my raga jazz journey or expressed a deep interest in learning ragas.
Thank you, Haruna Fukazawa! Maybe there are similarities between Japanese modal music and ragas. Arigato!
