The album embraces multiple genres, faiths and languages and pays homage to the natural environment of Rajasthan. 'Travellers' deeply inhales the landscape, stories, flora and fauna of this rich desert state, and exhales soul-searing songs of travel, love and longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing traditional instruments such as the ancient khartal, morchang, bhapana, dholak kamaicha, harmonium, dhol and dholak, the album focuses on Sufi culture and the significant impact of climate change on that part of the world. 'Travellers' was recorded entirely on location at Anokhi Farm in Jaipur, Rajasthan with additional recordings made in London. It is interwoven with references to the natural environment, making the landscape of Rajasthan the crucial seventh member of the Banwasi Collective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the songs on 'Travellers' are based on different raags, the Indian music system of notes and moods, each evoking different seasons, times of day and references to nature. It is extraordinarily diverse - with references to Sufi poetry, Hindu mythology and Sassi Punnun, one of the four popular tragic romances of the Punjab. Songs are in Hindi, Urdu, Marwari, Sindhi and Saraiki and take the listener on an immersive journey across religions, water and dry arid landscapes, between Bhakti and Sufi, mortal and divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunalayo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrem Diwani\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGypsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemories of You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoonghar Dukham Dhey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePir Jalani\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanwasi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421394719105,"sku":"1896244","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5051078006512.jpg?v=1750649402","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1896244","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
