Jaijaivanti Tarana

This is a Tarana, as such the syllables are chosen for their rhythmic qualities and do not have any particular meaning.

The backgrounds were filmed in New Mexico and Colorado in early August, 2011. The music was composed and recorded in a period stretching between late July - to mid September, 2011, while the artists were recorded in Houston, from late September through early November. In all, this music video took just under four months to produce.
