“It was an interesting format for us. Due to COVID-19 situation we could not meet, so we had to figure out that ‘one day’ where we could meet and work on the song. We also had to feature in the process of making this video. We were also trying to minimize the number of people so as to go with the COVID-19 protocols and take all the safety measures,” added the band on collaborating for Discovery Channel’s series Bharat Ke Mahaveer.
On the project front, the band is all pepped up to release a set of five songs.
They are also trying to get folk musicians back to doing virtual gigs and are sponsoring one such concert too.
