Khruangbin stopped by New York City’s Spotify Studios to deliver a pair of live performances on their Spotify Singles series. The thai-funk trio performed “Friday Morning” from their most recent release, as well as an instrumental rendition of “Khuda Bhi Aaman Se”, a song from the 1970 Bollywood film, Dharti, directed by C.V. Sridhar. The composition derives from the film’s soundtrack, which featured Mohammed Rafi.
Known for their laid-back, instrumental brand of world music, Khruangbin has been slowly built up its fanbase over the past five years. The group released its debut album, The Universe Smiles Upon You, in 2015 to much critical acclaim, while their latest effort, Con Todo El Mundo, was released earlier this year. Last week, the trio put out a new music video for the single “Cómo Me Quieres,” which appears on Con Todo El Mundo.
Listen to their studio performances of “Friday Morning” and “Khuda Bhi Aasman” below:
Earlier this week, Khruangbin announced their fall tour schedule. The outing will bring the band through much of the West Coast as well as parts of the Eastern Seaboard between November 6th and December 12th. Khruangbin’s newly announced dates will put them back on the road a month after they wrap up a tour in support of soul and R&B singer Leon Bridges. That run will kick off on August 9th at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, marking the trio’s debut at the picturesque Colorado music venue. Tickets for all of the fall tour dates (except Oakland) will go on sale on June 15th. More fall dates will be announced in the near future. Head to the band’s website for more information.
