Takadimi Unveils Debut Single Winter Rain Ahead of Album Release
Auckland, New Zealand - August 30, 2023 - Takadimi, the groundbreaking fusion ensemble, is thrilled to announce the release of their debut single Winter Rain on August 30th at a special single-release party gig. This highly anticipated song marks the first taste of Takadimi's upcoming debut album, set to drop in October.
Winter Rain is a masterclass in musical fusion, blending the ancient Indian rainy season raga Malhaar with modern jazz harmony and a walking bass line that evokes the sensation of falling raindrops on the ground. At the heart of the song is Daljeet Kaur's soulful vocals, which perfectly capture the essence of the Malhaar raga. Ustad Dilshad Khan's sarangi adds an air of elegance and sophistication, bringing a touch of Indian classical music to the table.
Dilshad Khan is a hereditary sarangi player from a family lineage of world-renowned sarangi maestros, including Ustad Sultan Khan. His involvement in Winter Rain adds an unparalleled level of authenticity and cultural depth to the song.
Winter Rain is more than just a single - it's a journey through the sounds and emotions of the Indian rainy season. Takadimi's unique blend of Indian classical music and Western jazz creates a truly immersive experience that will transport listeners to a world of beauty and serenity.
