In this episode of Sounds of Society, we showcase a collaboration between one of India's finest yet under-rated singers Tritha Sinha, and multi-instrumentalist genius musician and Indophile, Mathias Durand. They have worked extensively together, and their work is nothing short of exemplary. This episode is a perfect example of musical harmony.
