Hariharan, Leslie Lewis on recreating tracks of the revered American rock band, Eagles.
Hariharan and Leslie Lewis
Having revisited the tracks of Eagles for the latest edition of a two-month virtual series, Colonial Cousins gave a desi twist to offerings like Desperado, Hotel California, Witchy woman, and Take it easy. It was an unusual proposition that was offered to the duo, comprising Hariharan and Leslie Lewis, given that only one half of the band had consumed the music of the revered American rock group.
"We knew it would be good for this tribute to be paid from India — from one iconic band to another. We knew we could bring a lot to the table since they are melodious. A fusion of this sort is what the Colonial Cousins [excels at]. We wanted to play the [popular] songs that people have heard, and present them in a way that they've never been heard before," says Lewis.
