When Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash speak about tigers, they don’t speak in statistics. The sarod maestros, sons of Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, have announced Celebrating Our Tigers, an album that serves as a musical ode to India’s wildlife. The seven compositions journey through India’s most iconic tiger parks and are named after them — Jim Corbett, Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore, Kaziranga, Kabini, Pench, and the Sundarbans.

For the duo, the starting point was their instinct. They wanted to highlight each national park through its distinct music. “Each region can be identified with its folk sound. Forests on their own have a sound, which we have incorporated along with the natural music of that region. When you hear Kaziranga, it’s entirely the Assamese Bihu atmosphere. With the Sundarbans, it’s the amalgamation of Bengali folk music — Bhatiyali and Baul. Ranthambore celebrates the music of Rajasthan. At the end of the day, the humans around forests were always humming these natural tunes for hundreds of years,” said Amaan, who, along with his brother, is WWF India’s Goodwill Ambassador.
