Maati Baani, a world music duo from India, combines elements of traditional Indian classical music with various styles from around the globe to create a fusion that is both unique and melodious. The term "Maati Baani" translates to "Language of the Earth," and the duo truly embodies this through their music, which crosses cultural boundaries and is a confluence of sounds that resonate with audiences worldwide. Comprising Nirali Kartik, a classically trained vocalist, and Kartik Shah, a producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, Maati Baani has gained recognition for seamlessly bringing together musicians from different cultures and backgrounds in collaborative projects that spotlight the universal language of music.

Since their inception, Maati Baani has successfully harnessed the power of social media and digital platforms to showcase their work, often incorporating a wide array of musical instruments and styles in their compositions. Their recent releases such as "Saawan," a festive song reminiscent of the monsoons, and "Suraj Ka Gola," which presents a serene blend of soundscapes, display their ability to mold traditional tunes to contemporary arrangements. Tracks like "Natkhat Nadiya" from "Song of the River Ganga" contribute to their socially conscious and environmental advocacy themes, while "Jogi" and "Maarag" are testimonies to their rootedness in folklore and mysticism. Their project "Nomad Songs” further extends their eclectic approach to music-making, showcasing collaborations with international artists and exploration of global musical narratives. Through their work, Maati Baani continues to enchant listeners with the beauty of cross-cultural musical expressions, crafting a space where love for music transcends geographical and linguistic barriers.
