Sone Ki Nagri by Indian Ocean

Those who know me personally or through my blog are probably aware how crazy I am about music of Indian Ocean. Given that it's more than two months since my last post, it seems nothing else apart from awesome ocean can motivate me to write a post these days.

I have been on high since last few days on their latest song Sone Ki Nagri and kept on talking about it with friends who are not even too much inclinded to music. But, what can I do? This is such an amazing composition that my OCD for music has revived. Already listened to this number for god knows how many times and probably will go on for next few days.

Sone ki Nagri arose out of a collaboration Indian Ocean did with three Rajasthani folk musicians one summer. The guitar play by Susmit is simply mesmerising. Long live the band and let their music keep flowing.

Sone ki nagri ke sau sau hai raja
Andhe rajaaon mein kana maharaja

Daku ki rakshaa daroga karey merey bhai
Aur gundey malang hain minister ke ghar jamaai
Sone ki nagri ke sau sau hai raja

Andhe rajaaon mein kana maharaja
Bey sir pair ka tantar hai mere bhai
Aur Bandar madari ke asar hain mer bhai

Bhhrashtan ke hum hain aur
Bhhrassht hamaare
Ek hi thaali ke chatte batte sare
Jungal mein mangal ki reet hai mere bhai
Aur Kalyug mein kalki sambhalenge naiya hamari.

Note: The band is kind enough to release one song from album Aye Khajoor free every month. It can be downloaded at http://www.indianoceanmusic.com/download-song.php
