For Mumbai guitarist Ishaan Mehta, Bandra holds a lot of memories from the times he spent walking and exploring the bylanes of Ranwar, Pali Hill, Chapel Road and the area around Mount Mary's Basilica. Musically, too, he's been influenced by the place, especially since he has spent a lot of time jamming with friends at trumpet player James Miranda's Bandra bungalow. So, when the experimental ensemble he formed last year with Akshay Dabhadkar and Bharat Chandore called Mukti Funk wanted to shoot the video for their second song, the rooftop of Miranda's home, which has a great view of St Anne's Church, seemed ideal to encapsulate the city's beauty.

"The song, Arz, was shot in the monsoon. I've known James for a while and as we are a group that aims to collaborate with different musicians, we wanted to feature him in this song. His house was the ideal setting for the video, giving it a vintage and green vibe," Mehta tells us.

The song also features Adil Kurwa on bass and a choir that includes city vocalists Brecilla D'souza, Urmila Sivadas, Karma Tsewang, Tiana Taraporvala, Jasveer Singh Kalra and Mallika Soni. Uniquely enough, the choir has lyric-less parts throughout the song. "It's a spiritual song and feels like a prayer of sorts, but not in a religious way. Which is exactly what the word means in Urdu," Mehta says, adding, "Not having lyrics leaves it open to interpretation."
