About the music.
Parikrama is a New Delhi rock band whose music also draws on Indian traditions. Its history includes a performance at Download Festival in 2007, documented by Iron Maiden, and a catalogue that can be explored through the band's own recordings and performance videos.
Begin with But It Rained (For Sonam), then try the lockdown version of Vapourize. The latter reworks an existing song with a new arrangement and a sitar solo, offering a useful comparison between a band's familiar material and its willingness to reinterpret it.
