Lang Aaja feat. Himanshu Joshi | The Anirudh Varma Collective (Live)

'Lang Aaja', featuring the soulful Himanshu Joshi, from the legendary band 'Indian Ocean', is the 5th Live Single from 'Classical Re-Imagined', the 1st Anniversary Concert of the Anirudh Varma Collective.

The composition based on Raga Baageshri, depicts the angst of Mahiwal pining away and waiting for his lover Sohni, across the banks of River Chenab. Sohni dies trying to crossover the swollen river, while the fate of Mahiwal is not clear in the poetic narrative.
