Monsoon Rain – 18 musicians, a unique performance, an unreleased song

On 24 Oct 2009, live in London, Niraj Chag and his band performed a new track especially written just for the concert: ‘Monsoon Rain’. Featuring eighteen musicians, including a western choir, it was rapturously received.

It wasn’t an easy song to perform and Niraj doesn’t know whether this track will ever be performed again – so it’s a good thing we were there to video it! Here in a worldwide exclusive for the first (and possibly last) time ever is Monsoon Rain…. enjoy.

    You git, how can you tease us by saying it may not be on an album or played again!!!

    So weird to see it up close as opposed to on the night up on the balcony seats.

    Fantastic hun x

    I would have to agree with Faraz. It’s a brilliant song. Very rejuvenating! But, minus the chorus.
