About ‘Ae Ri Sakhi’Deb

Pooja Gaitonde, Prasad Gaitonde, and kSaya teamed up for or a surreal piece of production called ‘Ae Ri Sakhi’. Musically Produced by Prasad Gaitonde and kSaya and beautifully sung by Pooja.

"Ae Ri Sakhi" is inspired by the sounds of Asian Underground Music infused with rich Indian Sufi vocals backed by a fast-paced Tabla beat which takes you on a journey of the celebration of love from one lover for her beloved and the joy expressed for his presence.
Together they have infused classical Indian Sufi- influences with the pulsating space of Drum & Bass and created a vocal-led stunner in the most provisional and empirical manner.

They say “Waiting is a sign of true love and patience. Anyone can say I love you but not everyone can wait to prove it’s true.” “Ae Ri Sakhi,” tells the story of that lover who is willing to wait a lifetime for her soul mate to come and become his forever.
