Airavata - The New Single

Airavata is a song of gratitude dedicated to all of the people, places, and things that have carried or supported us at times in our lives. Composed, produced and arranged by Miguel, who plays electric guitar (reversed) and acoustic violin/viola, with Gabe Noel and Peter Jacobson joining on acoustic bass and cello respectively, “Airavata” (eye-raw-VAH-tah) is named after the white elephant who carries the deity Indra, also called ‘abhra-Matanga’, meaning “elephant of the clouds”. An ancient Vedic deity in Hinduism, Indra is the king of Svarga (Heaven) and the Devas (gods) associated with the sky, lightning, weather, thunder, storms, rains, river flows and war.
