Chikni Chameli

When I was in Pakistan in February, I worked with the wonderful tabla player Sarfaraz Anwar and the extraordinary filmmaker Junaid Malik to record one of my favorite recent Bollywood songs.

Here is the original version of Chikni Chameli.

Here is my violin/tabla version.

I am pleased that the US Embassy in Pakistan recognized the cultural diplomacy value of this video and posted it on their Facebook page, where my video has already earned 90 "likes."
