Aankhon Ke Saagar - Live Cover (Sandeep Bankeshwar, Abhay Nayampally & Smaran Savanal)

I was simply blown away when i first heard Aankhon Ke Saagar performed originally by Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan way back in 2004 when he was part of the band Fuzon. This track is, what one would call, a true fusion of Hindustani Classical, Sufi and Western Soft Rock music.
This casual jam session video was performed live by our band SoulNation and the audio was recorded digitally to maintain the audio quality. This is our little tribute to Fuzon. Hope you enjoy the video. Please feel free to leave your comments (but keep them clean !)
SoulNation -
Vocals & Keyboard - Sandeep Bankeshwar

Percussion (Djembe & Doumbek)- Smaran Savanal
Camera - Shweta Kallianpurkar
Audio Mixing - Prashant Nayar (Sound Forest Studios)
Post/Vfx - Zulfiquar Qureshi (Hyper Vfx)

Other than few legends, our current mainstream industry is full of undeserving artists. You need to replace them. Each and every note and harkat was on point 👏🏻Take a bow.

[@antrikshasthanaasthana2684]

boss I heard this song much before and you know what this song I heard in PTV. Since then I had tried to find out the song and singer and the album because i could not remember the whole lyrics, what i could remember was only AAnkhon key sagar, and there those days there was no internet. Later, I still remembered the name of the song and googled it. And this is exactly the way it was sung by Shafqat. i wish all of you good luck. Very beautifully performed.

[@zeeshan1639]

it was fuzon band which had shafqat amanat ali khan as lead.
now they have khurram iqbal.he is also a bomb
