Falu & Karyshma have shared Someday, an EP of traditional Indian classical, folk, and Sufi songs chosen specifically for our current moment and centering on themes of oneness and our shared universal experience. A quartet of Indian-born musicians who each immigrated to the United States, Falu & Karyshma have previously performed for the Obamas at the White House, at the TIME 100 Gala and at India's official Independence Day celebrations. Last year, the group's vocalist Falu became the first female singer-songwriter from India to be nominated for a GRAMMY.

On Someday, Falu & Karyshma reimagine South Asia's musical traditions, from classical ragas to the 15th century song-and-dance stylings of thumri and the ghazals of Sufi mystics dating back to the 7th century. Drawing from more recent times, the band reconstructs "Yara" - a classic from Indian Cinema's golden age. "Yara" draws on similar themes to the older material in this collection despite centuries between them: connectedness and confinement, darkness and daylight, hurt and hope, and the deep harmony that exists between each.
