Tum na jane

An old Bollywood song, reimagined through a modern guitar quartet.

Tum na jane

Tum na jane is an old Bollywood song that became the starting point for a new musical interpretation.

This version was created as a tribute to the legendary Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar, taking the emotional character of the original song and placing it inside a completely different sonic world.

Working with singer Suhaib Ehsan and the Cologne Guitar Quartet, I created a new arrangement built around four guitars and voice.

I wanted to expand the quartet's sound by incorporating double bass and using the guitarists' voices as a choir.

The goal was not to reproduce the original arrangement, but to take the song somewhere new: keeping its melody and emotional character while creating a contemporary aesthetic around it.

The accompanying video was filmed on the streets of Cologne, bringing an old Bollywood song into the city where this new version was created.
