Mumbai Music Video of the Day: 'This City'

A music video about public space and community in Mumbai.
BMW Guggenheim Lab

BMW Guggenheim Lab, the mobile operation dedicated to studying and improving urban life around the world, has set up shop in Mumbai through January 2013. As a companion to its efforts to activate and publicize public space in the city, the Lab commissioned a song by the Indian folk-rock band Swarathma.

The song is called "Is Sharar," which translates to "This City," and the lyrics address the idea of the togetherness and unity of Mumbaikars espoused in the Lab's theme, "ME=WE" (a full translation of the lyrics is available at the video's page on YouTube):
