The concert Black and White Unbelong, presented by Black & White, "fits in perfectly with the new spirit of change that we have tried to speak about through our music", Amaan said.

It is "lounge album mainly to attract youth to classical Indian music and make them appreciate the nuances.

It is a platform where heritage and tradition come together with a contemporary approach", he said.
