As the ‘Game of Thrones’ fever grips the world yet again, Lahore-based orchestra Sachal Jazz Ensemble has come up with a beautiful rendition of the hit show’s title theme that will transport you back in time to Westeros.

The jazzy rendition by the brilliant group of musicians creates a fusion of Eastern and Western music by using numerous instruments such as the flute, jaw’s harp, the accordion and violins. The final result is an absolute pleasure to listen to.

Sachal Jazz Ensemble posted the video of the cover on its official Facebook page, and it’s already going viral.

The second episode comes out this Sunday. Until then, you have this stirring cover of Ramin Djawadi’s masterpiece to keep you company.
