Challa Mudke Aaya: Punjabi Folk Song | Sarabjeet Singh | Harmeet | Harry Arora | RG x Shefali Khanna

Raahein Gharana presents
Rhythmic Roots: Punjab

"Challa" draws from Punjab’s rich folklore, where the Challa symbolizes separation and longing, but Raahein Gharana gives it a new twist with "Challa Mudke Aaya" reuniting father and son in spirit no matter where their journeys lead. By blending folk singing and instruments with modern rap, the song captures not just the son’s yearning but also the father’s silent hope for reunion, making their emotional connection unbreakable—a universal story that resonates with families everywhere.

Rhythmic Roots: Our series of 28 songs (one song per state) is a heartfelt tribute to India’s folk heritage.

Our latest release, “Challa Mudke Aaya” is a deeply moving Punjabi folk-rap ballad that captures the story of a son who leaves home with dreams in his eyes—but returns with a heart full of longing.

RAAHEIN Gharana creates independent regional music across India, focusing on forgotten or underappreciated live instruments, ensuring global audiences recognize the diversity beyond sitar and tabla.

Our Vision
Accessibility: Building a "human library" of Indian sounds and instruments, reviving those that have been dusted or forgotten.
Sustainability: Empowering underprivileged and/or unsung traditional musicians by up-skilling them and pairing them with contemporary composers, lyricists, and vocalists.
Innovation: Creating a generative space where traditional practices meet modern creativity to keep these sounds alive.
