Astitva- Patang Dor
Saregama India Ltd., India’s flagship music and entertainment Company, proudly launches Astitva-Patang Dor.
The album was launched at Striker Pub, New Delhi by renowned Punjabi
singer Ashok Mastie, followed by an enthralling Live Performance by the
Band, which kept the audiences wanting for more.
This
album promises a wide range of genres from Alternative Rock and Folk
Jazz to Blues, Fusion and Hip-Rock. With tracks such as Tu Hi Bata,
Bawri, Raat Ki Daastaan, Patang Dor, Na Jao and Paas Ao, the band lives
up to it’s tag of a multi-genre band. But the twist in the story is
rendered in the form of the Smoker’s Mix version of Tu Hi Bata, and
Electronic track produced by Karan Mehta.
It
took them close to 6 years to ensure they had a name and an audience to
hum their tunes. But the journey for this Delhi based band, Astitva,
has been rewarding in all aspects. The band is finally all set to launch
their debut album, Patang Dor, produced by Saregama India Ltd., with
seven captivating tracks.
Praised
by the likes of Sheila Dixit, Parineeti Chopra and many more, the band
has previosly played all over the country in commercial events as well
as college festivals such as Youth Nexus, The Qutub Festival and Gwalior
Carnival. Astitva also has to its name the composition of the Delhi
Anthem ‘This is Where I belong’ and Save The Girl Child Anthem ‘Jeeney
Do’. The members of the band although from different backgrounds, have
worked together to achieve similar goals.
“We
got together six years ago, unaware of what we wanted. But through and
through, our aim became more and more clear. Our track, Tu Hi Bata, is
an effort to bring about social awareness. The struggle within to look
for one’s identity, the injustice meted out to rape victims and
acid-attack-victims are a few issues we have tried to emote in this
track, hoping it makes a dent.”, explained the band’s lead guitarist
Zaman Khan.
A five member band,
Astitva brings to you the talents of Ayush Gupta(drummer), Amit
James(bassist), Kamal Kharera( keyboardist), Salman Khan (vocalist) and
Zaman Khan(guitarist), hoping to crack some bollywood dreams eventually.
The album will be available in your nearest stores soon. Grab your own copy!
