Known for their collaborations, the duo
Maatibaani comprising of Indian Classical Vocalist, Nirali Kartik and composer
producer, Kartik Shah, have reimagined an ancient chant to offer hope and
positivity to the people amidst the ongoing lockdown during this daunting
pandemic.Karpur Gauram is a chant found in Yajurveda, the ancient text that
dates back to 1200 to 1000 bc. MaatiBaani had composed this track for a popular
tv serial Devo Ke Dev Mahadev.

different countries such as India, Italy, Israel, USA, Switzerland, UK, USA,
Argentina, Spain, Russia. The pandemic feels like nature telling humanity to
live in harmony with nature and with each other. We are but mere witnesses to
the sheer magnitude of something like the current times.To depict this,
Maatibaani has used instruments like taiko drums, orchestral gongs and also,
the drupad styled vocal depicts the totality of how nature has grappled
humanity in just one strike.

humanity. Through “Karpur Gauram” we wanted to offer positivity and hope; that
this too shall pass.”
