Stills from the music video
The words, I'm so in love with you Habibi, set to an Arabic tune make for an uncanny yet melodious start to a revamped version of the popular Rajasthani folk song, Mhaari Re Mangeter. Recently, Mumbai-based music duo Maati Baani featuring Kartik Shah and Nirali Kartik, released their version of the peppy track. The new track is performed in collaboration with Middle Eastern a capella singer and producer Aala Wardi, and two Australian musicians, Linsey Pollak and Zaia Kendall. The music video which has a quirky '90s video game feel, was launched on Qyuki, a multi-platform media network across digital, live, TV and film, founded by AR Rahman, Samir Bangara and Shekhar Kapur.
