Hindustani has several elements familiar to many music cultures around the world. Though the piece may sound Arabic or even Iranian to some, the nature of the song sounds different with the use of synthesized beats. You can hear a steady beat throughout the song or sometimes the drummers can take over the beat. The song is clearly homophony due to how there is lead male singer, and a lead female singer accompanied with what I believe sounds like a sitar and bansuri playing along.
There is a bansuri solo played between the lead parts of the singers, but the roles in this piece does not change much at all. The singer have these long, noticeable cadences in the song create some sort ambient mood around it. The drones, a string instrument, ornaments the piece while the aerophones and drums are played in the background.
