Back in the studio, Mae is joined by Urdu-Blues music composer, performer, and writer Sameer Rahat! He talks about his relationship with poetry and music, coming from a family of poets, how classical ghazals and traditional blues came together in his music, how Urdu as a language is dying a gradual death, and on his experience being a music composer for film and TV. He also performs a stripped down version of a song from his 2020 debut solo-album Aamad, and two unreleased songs!

Song List:
Puraana (00:57 - 04:46)
Tasalli (16:36 - 22:00)
Saare Chor (33:50 - 37:42)
