Bengal Diaries | Maham Suhail's Chronicles from India 2015-16
Channel: Maham Suhail
Date: 2021-07-04

These musical archives are from Maham's stay in India (mostly in the Indian Bengal) where she was studying music at the ITC-Sangeet Research Academy (Kolkata) and was working and performing with music bands and theatre groups.

In this video, Maham recollects her memories from some performance and recording projects she did with an international mix of artists.
In the audio, Maham's song 'Harr Darshan' (a Gurmukhi piece, Guru Nanak poetry) is mixed with Bengali mystical poetry from Lalin Faqeer sung by Shyam Khappa Baul, in a rehearsal.

It was a few such rehearsals that lead to the recording of 2 songs in a Kolkata studio, now releasing later this year as part of Maham's 'Mitti' album.

Female Vocals: Maham Suhail
