That 'white' is singing in your language because she is a composer of Indian classical music. She composed the score for Tanika Gupta's theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations', receiving critical acclaim. She has performed with Nitin Swahney in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Opera House and Sadlers Wells. If you understood the function of music you would know that its a celebration of humanity, a creative inclusive process and expression.
We British whites are Indo-Dravidian dear. And we use Tamilian alphabets. It's who we are. Besides which EVERYONE KNOWS the English (or was it the Scots) invented Karahi. lol Although frankly, you have a point re the celebration of the world - which is why 'OUR English' should still be a living language and take everything into its flowing river; phone-glish prolly even more so. I note they all still speak English in Star Trek 'the Very Far Future' episodes. Even Harry Kim speaks English. Goddammit even that Borg '7 of goddamn 9' speaks it!
I believe that UK is a place when great artist meet each other and make absolutely fantastic music. Every music I love comes from this country. Beatles, Portishead, Massive attack, man you name it.
I'm British and music from this island excites me and is the one thing which makes me unreservedly proud of our society. Radiohead, Razorlight, Idlewild, Imogen heap, Chvrches, Rae Morris, Izzy bizu, Tom odell, bonobo..... I love it all. Thanks for such a nice comment about where I come from. BTW, Raye is our latest musical genius.... check out her Mercury music prize performance, recently 🎉
Nicki Wells has such a beautiful voice. I'm so glad other people gave her a credit; it saved me a search elsewhere. Cannot fathom why it was not in the original post.
Nicki although I can accept Nitin may have composed and created the piece your amazing voice should certainly have got a mention in the description! Stunning vocals!
i got moved by those Bengali lyrics so much .... & thts how powerful your creativity is whn u being a girl from other country writing lyric in Bengali and moving a born Bengali .... Hats Off ......

Here i am in july of 2023 & 11 years later i've still not heard a better vocal than nikki we''s' performance here. It remains absolutely stunning. Thnaks kcrw.
Barisha I wish you would translate the Bangla chorus. I've listened to this song so many time I can sing it in Bangla but I don't know what I'm saying.
What a divine British talent. Big shout from the US. This album really got me into Nitin Sawhney and other UK trip hop and experimental acts like Portishead, Unkle, Sneaker Pimps, Four Tet, Burial, Bonobo, Tricky, Allflaws
I don't get many pivotal moments listening to music any more because there is so much copycat audio fast food about, but this performance was an eye-opener. It's absolutely phenomenal - how come it took 7 years for me to discover it?
omg a singer NOT trying to sound like lorde/lana del ray/adele and singing words with stupid pronunciations and tones that aren't at all natural. amazing tune, wonderful singer!
I’m here in 2021. I heard this song when I was 9 years old. I am now 29 and I still remember how it made me feel when I first heard it. This women is so talented!
I keep coming back to this song for years now and it never gets old. Sometimes I listen to it on repeat for hours. Just sublime voice, music, everything about it!
"Discovered" this song because a friend of mine had an amazing chillout cd..."Ministry of Sound - Chillout sessions vol.3" I must say...this version?! Fkn brilliant!!!!!!
I do not have words it's so beautiful, so subtle ..... I thought for a long time that there were two singers! But no!I discover this with this video! With Nitin, who always chooses extraordinary musicians and singers, we live moments of grace .... Out of time .... Thank you from the bottom of the heart.
I love this video. Nitin Sawhney and Nicki Wells and this amazing tabla player are doing some piece of real magic. I'm enjoying it so much :):):) thank you !!!
brilliance. nikki has such such refreshing pure voice full of sensitivity and passion ..once can sensenyhe blissful energy and sync with nitin. makings of a superstar
Beautiful! I discovered this song years ago, and it was on repeat for a month, and after a month, I was at the Exit music festival in Serbia. Nitin Sawney was lined up to start with this song, at sunset. It was a perfect experience, old fortress, summer evening, great mood, beautiful people, heavenly music...I was so lucky to be there! This studio performance is just as amazing in its simplicity and beauty.
Neither actor Nor spectator No doubt alien Looking on Listening on Wondering Pockets with holes in Missed the boat Or more like the boat Refused Entry No boundaries Is the heartfelt wish And soon breathless flat line
So simply beautifull music, so simply beautifull wome, so perfect. Just have to close my eyes and travel the universe. Thank you very much for sharing.
I prefer this to the recorded version of sunset. Anyone know where I can download/buy a high quality version of this recording? The singer here, Nicki Wells is terrific!
I'm just glad I can have something different then the stations on the radio. Darn the stations thinking that songs like this would not be worth testing. If like to here more song from different contrys.
Good grief! So confused why this singer was being referred to as "Nicki" Wells when she was clearly Tanya Wells known for her Urdu ghazals. Turns out there are not one but TWO crazy good singers and they're twins - Nicki & Tanya!

The three best live gigs I’ve ever been to were Nitin Sawhney the first time, Nitin Sawhney the second time, and Nitin Sawhney the third time.
So true, I went to the Royal Albert Hall during the prophesy tour. Quite the profound experience.
@@lewisdaly5547 Profound is the perfect word to describe the experience.
YES!
It doesn't get better than this! 🤍

Were people hating in the comments?
I couldn't put it any more accurately myself!

She is brilliant!!!
The name of the singer: Nicki Wells. The composer and guitarist is Nitin Sawhney.
Presumably she doesn’t speak Bangla. But her phonetic mastery of the words is amazing--to my ears, anyway.
Absolutely. Fisrt time ever I hear a white singer with this natural indian tone and pronunciation.
She goes by the name Turya as well , you can find more vids & music under that name too xx
Very considerate, thank you. Nicki deserves all plaudits.
Surmayi no that’s her twin sister “Tanya Wells” who also sings in very similar style, easy mistake tho
Her Bengali accent and tone is impressive, great impersonation and the switch back to English is flawless.

even after all these years I get goosebumps all over with this song.
Perhaps my all time favorite track from Nitin Sawhney. Nicki Wells is AMAZING!
Mine too. I was 19 when this was release, heady days of my youth, care free and full of love

What is the original language, is it Bengali?

excellent song, but the vocals... just WOW... absolute perfection!
One of my favourite pieces of the universe.
Nicki wells you make this song perfect - Nitin Thank you for composing such an amazing track... Timeless!
FULL RESPECT. NICKI AND NITIN. DON'T STOP YOUR COLLABORATION
Took 10 years to find this amazing piece of work🥰
Nicki Wells is one of a kind. A voice so pure and real.. amazing. Thank you for this beautiful work.
Wow, this brings a tear to my eyes every time I watch it, such amazing vocals
SAme...also gives me goose bumps :)
The Bangla chorus is breathtaking
+Barisha Towhid in the beginning... isn't it gujrati??
+basu kashyap No it's bangla, I'm a native speaker :)
splendid, :D
+basu kashyap whatever it is it's sounding mighty fine in my ear. :O)
Barisha I wish you would translate the Bangla chorus. I've listened to this song so many time I can sing it in Bangla but I don't know what I'm saying.

+rockbass hahaha what do you mean by words with stupid pronunciation and tones that aren't at all natural??
+basu kashyap rokbass means warbling like a strangled canary. ;o)
+Leb Heidenstrøm this guy gets it.
it is sanskrit, old india language, very natural language
The other language is BANGLA precisely.
This doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Breathtaking
