World Music Wednesday: Zamin

Zamin is a Chicago-based band that blends classical instrumentation with soulful Hindustani vocals and an indie rock approach to songwriting. The band creates energy, tension and intimacy with unique acoustic sounds. “Zamin” means “earth” in Hindi, and lyrics from their first album are in Urdu, while their newer lyrical material is written in English. The members include Zeshan Bagewadi, Josh Fink, Eric Seligman, Genevieve Guimond, and Ethan Yeshaya.
