Prior to this the duo was actually in a music group called Sai Naga Bhajans where they’ve been performing for over 13 years. Upon having the idea of putting a slight spin onto the classic Raya song, the team then played the song with their drums, blending the perfect rhythm.

And as expected, the video posted online has since garnered over 266k likes and plenty of netizens have commented on the video. Here’s what some of them said:

“How do I ‘order’ them? Is there a yellow bag I could tap and add it to my cart? I want to hold an open house and dance.”
