Composer-singer Rahi’s new song ‘Maahi’ is a love letter to Kashmir

Srinagar: Described as the Switzerland of India and Heaven on Earth, Jammu and Kashmir is a part of India that many of us have yearned to visit at least once in our lifetime. Singer-songwriter-composer Rahi’s new song, Maahi, is a love letter to Kashmir, the video for which was shot during the lockdown in the valley. Year 2020 may not have done much for a lot of people but it did not stop Rahi’s track from coming to life.

The video, shot by Huzefa Roowala, capturing the life and essence of Jammu and Kashmir, has already found takers in filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, actors Tiger Shroff and Aditya Seal and actress Kriti Sanon to name a few. The iconic Dal lake, the luscious greenery and the frosty mountains have all found their way into the video that evokes the traveller in you and connects you with your higher inner-self.

Talking about Maahi, Rahi says, “I’ve always wanted to show a different side of Kashmir through my music, and this is just the beginning. Shooting the music video was a different experience. I’m happy with what we have achieved. I hope that Maahi will resonate with innumerable Kashmiris and music lovers all across the country.”

Rahi, who originally belongs to Kashmir, is currently based out of Mumbai. He has headlined college festivals and played at music festivals across the country including the Ziro Festival of Music in Arunachal Pradesh. He also won the MTV Colours of Youth contest and has actively collaborated with various artistes from across the country. (TNN)
