Praful shares a track (and a remix) from his latest Sufi-infused album ‘Mirror of the Heart’
In the video above you can listen to the original and opening track of the album. The chant is a new mantra inspired by my now two-and-a-half-year–old daughter Isha and was composed in the period after her birth. Looking at Isha, I always feel I look into the Eyes of a Miracle.
When I came to know that so many people were touched by this song, I decided to create a version for dancing. I asked DJ Kareem Raihani for a modern remix and he came up with a contagious hip-moving world-groove.
And once the remix was done, last December I had the idea to ask my fans and friends to film themselves while dancing and singing to it. After a few weeks I received lots of clips from all over the world; we started to put them together and made a video clip. It was great fun to see all the lovely people enjoying themselves and being creative.
So what came out? See for yourself (video below).
