A group known for viral performances
The Ismail Langa group is no stranger to public attention. The team of folk artists has previously appeared on India’s Got Talent three times, gaining recognition for their engaging performances rooted in Rajasthan’s rich musical heritage.
From folk roots to global fusion
The group has also experimented with creative adaptations of global hits. Earlier, they shared a Rajasthani version of Shakira’s popular song Waka Waka, which received widespread appreciation online.
The video, posted on their Instagram account, shows the artists travelling together in a bus, dressed in vibrant traditional Rajasthani attire. As they perform, they infuse the international track with local flavour and humour.
“Who knew Shakira's Waka Waka would turn into a full-on Khamma Ghani, welcome to Rajasthan moment,” the caption of the post reads.
In their rendition, the artists replace the original line “This time for Africa” with “Welcome to Rajasthan,” giving the song a regional twist while retaining its energetic appeal.
