Shankara | The Anirudh Varma Collective (Live at India Habitat Centre)

The Anirudh Varma Collective presents to you - 'Shankara' - The finale track from the debut album 'Perspectives', live at the India Habitat Centre Amphitheater.

This is where it all began - A result of an impromptu session with Hindustani Classical Vocalist - Prateek Narsimha, back in 2013. The blend of two distinctive compositions creates a single, seamless harmony, in praise of Lord Shiv. The Raga itself is regal and formidable, and full of the shringaar and Veer Rasa. Anirudh always envisioned a big arrangement for this composition, prompting him to bring in a choir, an additional punch of vibrance. The percussive elements help to amplify the Carnatic flavours and context in the track. The track’s rich, full-bodied sound seemed to have been composed just for this album’s finale. We hope you enjoy this one!
