They are loved and celebrated for their musical and lyrical themes that often touch on mythology, Sufism, environmentalism, and social revolution. You can surely expect their signature tracks, like “Ma Rewa”, “Mann Kasturi Re”, “Bandeh”, and “Kandisa”, which have helped define alternative rock in India. There will be songs from their recent album as well.
