Doly Shaontoni, Arzeen’s duet track ‘Lagaiya Piriti’

Bangladeshi-American singer Arzeen and singer Doly Shaontoni have released their collaborative track titled ‘Lagaiya Piriti’, drawing on the folk song ‘Lagaiya Piritir Duri’ by lyricist and composer Shah Khowaj Mia.

Released on November 6, the collaboration follows Arzeen’s cover of Doly’s ‘Bishom Piriti’. According to a press release, the response to that rendition encouraged the two artistes to work together.

The accompanying music video unfolds in a lush, dreamlike forest, exploring divine love and spiritual connection through nature.

Drawing inspiration from the unseen presence evoked by Lord Krishna’s flute, the visuals take
a poetic approach to love, spirituality and a higher power.

The track combines traditional folk melodies with contemporary production.

Shah Khowaj Mia is credited with the lyrics and composition, while the musical arrangement brings together Mia, Arzeen, Emmanuel Ventura-Cruess and Bryan Baker.

Ventura-Cruess also handled music production and played the cello, with Baker on flute
and Aanand Dika on percussion.

‘Lagaiya Piriti’ is available on Arzeen’s official platforms.
