Rang Rangiya: Song brings together Pakistani and Indian artists on Independence Day

Pakistani artists and Indian band Maati Bani get together for the first ever online collaboration

Here's a nice Independence Day #throwback treat: Indian band Maati Baani on Friday shared a music video of their song Rang Rangiya -- the first-ever online collaboration between Pakistani and Indian artists — on Facebook.

The video, which was released on Independence Day last year, features Komal Rizvi and guitarist Omran Shafique from Pakistan among various artists.



Rabab saaz Gulab Afridi can be seen playing soulful tunes while Kurt Menezes hits the nail on the head while beating his drums.

The founding member of the band - Nirali Kartik -- has also lent her vocals alongside Komal.

Asfandyar Junejo's beat boxing stint towards the end of the video is the perfect closure any patriotic song would need to uplift the spirit.

Maati Baani literally means "The Language of The Earth", and the philosophy is reflected through the lyrics of Rang Rangiya as it is seeking to promote unity between the two countries.

The video has been shot across the landmark locations in Lahore, Karachi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

We are sure that this song will be another exciting addition to your Independence day's play-list.
