In the latest episode of Nescafe Basement, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s famous song, Piya Re, was recreated. While the original song is timeless and evergreen, the new version is close to perfection.

The mixture of modern and traditional instruments has given a new meaning to Piya Re. While the lyrics are magical and enchanting, the singer did full justice in delivering the true meaning of the song. All in all, this version of Piya Re is going to be remembered for a long time.
