Sindhi

Sculpted from unvarnished words, ‘Faqeera’ feels like a glance into a world of wanderers – invoking a feeling to which anyone can relate. The nuances of Shamu Bai and Vishnu’s vocal resonance were amplified by the acoustic echoes of the ancient Haveli, where the final vocal track of the audio was recorded.

The fierce devotion of Shamu’s voice is paired with Vishnu’s warm and humid vocal tones as they drift into the soul stirring chords of the Benjo, accompanied by a further layer of light electronic beats. The groove of the modern electronic beat follows the ethnic rhythm of the dholak – making ‘Faqeera’ a brand-new take on Sindhi folk.

‘Faqeera’ is a showcase of grace and humility, by the brother-sister duo, all while paying homage to their land with this instant and classic track.
