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.

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.
