Ba Paerai Khan-Gulzar Ahmad Ganaie | Suhayb Nazyr | Shefali Khanna x RG | Kashmiri Sufi Folk 2025

Raahein Gharana presents Rhythmic Roots: Kashmir Ba Paerai Khan is a timeless Kashmiri Sufi folk song that warmly invites guests with poetic grace and heartfelt hospitality. Lyrics like cxe ban mehmaan ("be my guest") and ti gaxhi jaan haai vesiye ("that would be the best, o my friend") beautifully reflect Kashmir’s love, warmth, and serene natural charm. Rhythmic Roots—a series of 28 songs (one from each Indian state)—is our heartfelt tribute to India’s folk heritage, reviving traditional voices, instruments, and stories from across the country. Raahein Gharana proudly presents its sixth release: Ba Paerai Khan, a soulful Kashmiri Sufi folk revival celebrating the Valley’s warmth, poetic hospitality, and timeless musical grace. At a time when Kashmir’s tourism faces challenges, Ba Paerai Khan becomes a cultural symbol of hope, pride, and resilience. A special tribute to Sufi Poet Nyamme Soub and Kashmiri Singer Abdul Rashid Hafiz by Raahein Gharana. RAAHEIN Gharana creates independent regional music across India, focusing on forgotten or underappreciated live instruments, ensuring global audiences recognize the diversity beyond sitar and tabla. Our Vision Accessibility: Building a "human library" of Indian sounds and instruments, reviving those that have been dusted or forgotten. Sustainability: Empowering underprivileged and/or unsung traditional musicians by up-skilling them and pairing them with contemporary composers, lyricists, and vocalists. Innovation: Creating a generative space where traditional practices meet modern creativity to keep these sounds alive.
