The Urdu word ‘Hamsafar’ is often used in North Indian poetry and means fellow traveler. This album is an invitation to a magic carpet ride over the borders of East and West. On his second album Joshua is inspired by the many moods of day-to-day life in India and creates a finely woven musical tapestry of scents, melodies, imagination and rhythms. On this musical journey experience and smell the fragrance of the first rains after a long draught in “Mango Rain”, share the pain of the singer who yearns for a far-away lover in “Darbari”, awaken your senses with the first morning birds in “Koregaon Morning”, dance to abandon with the Sufis in the qawwali track “Saki”, or stroll down a noisy Indian bazaar lane with “Bazaar Rumours”…
