“Khwaab” by Niraj Chag
I’ve always thought very highly of Indian music. No matter what context it is produced in, it always seems to keep its authenticity by acknowledging its roots. Whether it’s done using the instrumentation or the singing style, you always get the sense that you are witnessing art that is culturally accurate.
I came across this song on the “Putumayo presents India” collection not too long ago. I was completely blown away by the vocals. Sati Natekar’s singing took Niraj Chag’s production a whole new level. I can’t think of the right superlatives to describe her performance…so I’m not going to force it.
Instead, I’m going to just kick back in my bubble and let the music take me East.
Beautiful…

Ssidy is what my friends call me. I was born in Senegal of Malian parents (hence my Mali nationality). I grew up all over the place…Bamako, London, Accra, Cape Town, before I went to college in Miami and finally got a job in Sydney where I’ve been living since August 2008.
When I’m not working on The Timbuktu Project, or as a financial analyst (full-time), you can usually catch me somewhere on a football pitch or involved in anything music related. Music is everything to me. Whatever mood I am in, there is always a song that captures the moment perfectly. Anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes around me will probably attest to this: I listen to all types of stuff.....possibly because no single genre holds enough songs to quench that musical thirst of mine...
