SURABHI - Taal bhi S~S~S

Music is my passion. One who can understand the words of music and only understand what that passion is. Very less friends of mine know this part of me, but then what are blogs for ;). and what are friends for...just kidding :D
So friends, this season for Diwali, we all from Birmingham, got a chance to get together and come up with a music program. It was a beautiful journey with a lot to learn and lot to enjoy.
Below is the slideshow of the whole team and more yet to come.
Surabhi team
It was nearly an effort of continuous practice and trials of new things and strings, instruments, voices and noises and juggle of which songs wins over the other over a time of more than a month.
First day started by choice of songs and the variety of themes being discussed from ideas pouring in of an era event or a multiligual event or an all instrumental section. Songs were being scrutinized in every possible direction the idea would give way. Strings pulled, combination of keys pressed and voices tested over and over again to generate the best melody.
During the first few days, I realized the beauty that each instrument carried and the distinct sounds which jelled with others. It felt like I had entered a new genre. I realized it was much easier to sing but more difficult to understand and play an instrument melodiously and play it in harmony with other instruments. I found myself listening to every sound as something unique and paid more attention to what instruments could have been used in a song while it was playing in my car, avoiding the car going off the road a couple of times. The songs obviously sounded all the more melodious.

Here is a link to the music videos. I hope the above was a good dose for you all to enjoy the links below though not in car:)

Aye Hairathe
Deewana huwa badal
Mein chali
Des Mere
