Journey | Irfan Ali Bahadur (@iallyiab) | NEREW | Official Music Video

JOURNEY’ reveals the illusion of separateness from which we must all awaken. A voyage of thought, soul, and people who connect and materialise what is concealed into reality.

The track is an arrangement of a 7-minute music orchestral piece with incredible definition of sounds and beats that trigger the development of an unforgettable melody with an extraordinary 44 musicians playing together to create a unique history, including Ustad Bashir Khan (Presidential Award).

“So basically the journey took off back in 2015, when I was first introduced to the orchestral music. The symphony that underlies really inspired me. After 5 years of hard work, I could produce this piece feat maestros and a huge number of incredible artists. I would like to give a huge shoutout to Vajdan shah and Club432 for making this video and to all the incredible performers who contributed through their talents to make it happen. It wouldn’t have been possible for me without my late father’s unwavering support,” says Irfan.
