Giving a desi twist to Stings classic, Desert Rose, flautist Paras Nath says instrumental version gave him scope to improvise

Anticipation makes it tough to navigate the first few minutes of Desert Rose (Instrumental Music), until Paras Nath arrives at the crux of Sting's abundantly consumed 1999 rendition that became an anthem of sorts at the time of its release. In this version, created along with Santosh Mulekar, the flautist adds a desi touch to the number, punctuating it with his distinct style.
What's conspicuous is that Nath's ambitious project was shot in the desert of UAE, in the middle of a pandemic. "We were told [by those on our team] that rarely has an Indian song been shot in desert and the streets of the UAE. We collaborated with a local model who features in the video. Cases of infection are under control there, and we followed all safety precautions," says Nath, who shot it in September, only weeks after he recovered from COVID-19.
