'Andholan,' from the band's second record 'Saptak' has long been a live staple tune in Mekaal Hasan Band's repertoire. One of the band’s most popular songs, 'Andholan' is a largely instrumental song with a central vocal section.

The song features solos from all members and has become a favorite with music fans over the years.
'Andholan' is also an Eastern Classical term for a singing style which involves expressive use of 'Meend' or slides from one note to the next in a raag or melody.

This live version is an uptempo rendition of the song, super charged by Gino Banks' driving drumming, along with Sheldon D'Silva's nimble bass lines. Each band member takes a notable solo spot in the tune and acquits him/herself with finesse.

Lyrics (Translated from Purvi)

There is no peace without you
I am in agony over memories of you
I spend the nights counting the stars
Your absence pains my heart
And brings suffering to my being
There is no peace without you
I am in agony over memories of you.
