Jasdeep Singh Degun, one of the UK’s most accomplished sitar players, has shared the new track ‘Sajanava’ ahead of his much-anticipated debut album Anomaly, which will be released on 6th May 2022 on Real World Records.
‘Sajanava’ is a string-laden affair based on thumri — a semi-classical song form associated with kathak, the North Indian dance style — and the only track on the forthcoming album to feature classical (dual female) vocals.
The singers — Debipriya Das and Yarlinie Thanabalasingam — represent two different traditions in Indian classical music: Hindustani (from the north) and Carnatic (from the south). This duality is similarly represented in the accompanying music video, directed by Adam Lyons, which features dancers Vidya Patel and Anaya Vasudha.
