Rakae Jamil
I began my journey as a musician at the age of 12 when I was taught how to play the sitar by my first teacher, Ustad Ashraf Sharif Khan. I have grown up listening to being surrounded by North Indian classical music, and my interest in it has only exponentially grown in it. In parallel, I was also into popular music, the different sounds and soundscapes created within this genre, and how software and digital technology was such a powerful tool in creating music, thanks to my cousins who were the founders of the well known pop-rock band in Pakistan called Noori. I began producing music since 2012 and established my own music production studio titled "Red Brick Music Studios" in 2015. I am also a part of the band "Mughal-e-Funk", an instrumental fusion band created in 2017.
Written around a traditional Zambian story that Theresa Ng'ambi's grandmother told her when she was a girl, this is a song about the importance of conserving our resources & caring for our natural world so that there is enough for everyone: enough for this generation, and for generations to come. With additional lyrics in Urdu, by Zara Madani, based on a conservation-themed traditional saying from Pakistan.
