Rang De, Amir Khusrau’s ode to Nizamuddin Auliya, by Chand Tara Orchestra moves the heart

But Chand Tara did something special: They introduced a little instrument called the blues harp; harmonica to some. And Nami Danam Ke Akhir Choo.n spoke of that pain – dard that Baba Farid said people on the path should feel for the Beloved.
Chand Tara Orchestra features the very talented bass player Babar Sheikh, Umran Shafique on guitar, Rizwan Ullah on the blues harp and Sherry Raza on vocals. They have a sessions drummer.
