For Heart and Soul, I've been speaking to two musicians making it their mission to keep this ancient music alive.
Do you remember anything here in the central area?
I'm here today because we have a responsibility.
One control, one attempt.
So now I'll do two attempts.
Let's go.
Persian jams or Hindu devotional songs have been sung for well over a thousand years.
They've been a way of worshipping, gathering and staying connected to faith through music.
From the bhakti movement in 6th century India to songs featured in Bollywood films today, bhajans have evolved over generations.
But now they're being reworked again to appeal to the younger diaspora.
It's literally like enlightening something in me.
This is a documentary from the BBC World Service.
I'm Raj Korbilku, and in this episode of Heart and Soul, I'm meeting the people behind the quest to keep an ancient sound alive.
Bajan Jams are going viral.
Young people are taking the devotional songs out of the traditional settings and literally rocking audiences across the world.
I'm meeting two Bajan Jam artists from opposite sides of the Atlantic, both with different perspectives on the art form and their faith.
Are you religious?
Oh yes, definitely.
I'm in the UK capital London where local lad Bhavik Haria is preparing for a big concert and rehearsals are in full swing.
