Silk Route

The band is much endeared for the song "Dooba-Dooba" from their acclaimed 1998 debut album, Boondein.Brought to the Indian film industry's notice, the band was then furnished opportunities to score and perform songs for movies such as Kalpana Lajmi's "Kyon", "Lets Enjoy" and "Urf Professor". They confess to such diverse influences as Sting, Simon & Garfunkel and Dire Straits, all of which find their way into the Silk Route sounds.The band always added a distinct touch to their music by using acoustic guitars, talking drums and harmonica and primarily by of the use of Recorder, a 17th-century European folk musical instrument played by Kem Trivedi. The band dissolved in the early 2000s and is not likely to be coming back together. When asked about his plans regarding forming a band, in a recent interview with 'The Express Tribune' Chauhan replied “Sometimes I think about being part of a band.It has crossed my mind.Being in a band is like a small family.You travel together, make music and share time with each other.I miss those days sometimes, but I am not sure if I’ll join a band again,”.
