about

Composed by Reena Esmail, first performed in the Great Basin, Wyoming.

E Safar is based on a Javed Akhtar poem -- the title, which translates to "Oh Journey" is part of a couplet that translates to:

Oh journey, be not in vain,
If not to the end, at least lead me somewhere

It felt like a fitting text for a man traversing the breadth of the country along the continental divide on a bike to stop and sing as he contemplated this journey.

Payton's determination and commitment to creating these incredible journeys is so inspiring. This bandish is meant to be sung alone, immersed the wildnerness -- both outside and within.
--Reena Esmail
