Batohi
Traveler
Batohi is my folk band, where I blend traditional folk tunes from Bihar with modern music production, creating my own narrative style. With Batohi, I want to bring a fresh approach to Bhojpuri pop culture and remove existing perceptions that plague the image around it.
​
I self released my first folk single - Mope Daar Gayo on 7th March 2020 across all global streaming platforms.
​
I have a line up of songs being readied up for an album release. Watch this space or more musical goodness
Mope Daar Gayo
"Mope Daar Gayo” is a contemporary rendition of an Indian classical thumri in Raga Pilu.
Through a naughty discourse, this song quintessentially depicts the playful and affectionate bond that Radha and Krishna share and their nonk-jhonk while playing Holi.
Experimenting with additional lyrics, organic sounds, rhythm patterns and mouth percussion maintained its original rawness while making a traditional slow moving thumri sound upbeat but yet romantic.
