8142 views

A long time ago, in Bengal and the regions around, there were two sects that existed. The Mahawats believed in celebrations through song & dance and idol-worship; and the Shariyats believed that prayer through song & dance was disrespectful. Shantanu was intrigued by this rift and decided to make this theme a part of his set. This song was suggested by Bonnie Chakravarthy's as Shantanu wanted to do something really traditional, about a side of Bengal that people had forgotten. Bonnie sings the song Baul-style which sets the perfect tone for its treatment & arrangement..

    This is a reinterpretation of a harvest song sung by farmers in South India. This is based on a tradition wherein farmers present their first set of crops to the zamindars/landloards. So while it is a song of celebration sung at the end of a grueling harvest season rejoicing the bumper harvest, it has an underlay of sarcasm talking about how 'we grow the crops and the benefit goes to someone else'! La Pongal's Anthony teams up with Usha Uthup to perform a track that is mischievously highlighted by a Nadaswaram line rendering the perfect authentic touch.

    It is a song that literally says 'heal the world'. The song implies that humankind has made everything much more complicated today, what with the advent of technology. The Earth is no longer pristine & peaceful as God intended it to be. The song talks about the need to make a change and go back to things the way they were -- simple, uncomplicated and peaceful. This song therefore is a plea to everyone to look for the beauty within and through the same kick start the process of change!

    At the soul of this song is a Keertan, and like all keertans this is a love song. It's a song about a girl who has fallen in love with the moon. The lyrics talk about the girl complaining to the 'night' about how the 'moon' hides from her all day and at times disappears all together! Swanand Kirkire's words were inspired by the moon & how it often forms the perfect accompaniment to love. Only this time, he wanted to reinterpret it in a completely different way.

    This is a song about a girl confessing her love, all the while knowing that what she wishes for is un

    Kabir Das' philosophy & ideology was ahead of its time & remains valid for life as it is today. Swanand Kirkire in fact refers to Kabir as the rockstar of Indian music and has always wanted to do a song that would talk about these age-old gems in a contemporary manner.

    This song is Kabir in philosophy but has a very modern edge. It talks about how the human soul is plagued with evils like greed, fear, resentment and jealousy. But when these feelings get the better of you, one should just give the Almighty a missed call and the connection would be instant! This haunting melody is Swana

    This is an original composition by Hitesh & is about a girl trying to push her lover to affirm his feelings for her. While both of them love each other, they have very different styles of acknowledging the same. Alisha Batth's Punjabi leanings blend seamlessly with Vijay Prakash's strong Caranatic vocals to give this song a truly unique feel.
    Hitesh believes that the lovers are basically two sides of the same coin. While their approaches maybe different, their core emotions are the same. Musically, since this song is about love & intimacy, Hitesh has maintained a romantic, mellow

    Jasbir Jassi's powerful voice & Sufi leanings come to the fore here with this rendition of a combination of Waris Shah's and Baba Ghulam Farid's verses. Subhan Allah speaks about how love needs to prevail among people for this world to be a happy place. What helps truly set this song apart though are the rock riffs running through it; Sufi meets Rock like never before!

    Sufism goes beyond religion and talks about true love for the Almighty. One doesn't need to visit the temple or the mosque to pray to god, but can do that with an honest plea from anywhere. This song has great positive energy to it and Hitesh Sonik wanted an honest and happy voice to sing it. On hearing the Nooran sisters, he was sure that this would be a great partnership! The Nooran sisters were also part of the iconic track Tung Tung from MTV Sound Trippin. This spiritual song has a subliminal energy thanks to their raw and rustic voices. Through the addition of drums and Balabhaskar

    This is a song about the changing times. It's a song that perfectly captures the dilemmas of life. It talks about the pressures of everyday life & the everyday questions none can escape. But it's also about staying rooted, learning from life's lessons and staying focused on your dreams. Zamana Kharab Hai, like life, is about never giving up.
    To do justice to its depth of meaning, the song has a simple arrangement with a strong focus on the lyrical content. This song also showcases a beautiful fusion between Bhanu Pratap's Ra39jasthani Sufi vocals and Dominique Cerejo

    This song essentially talks about a deep sense of gratitude. What one usually forgets is that gratitude is very often accompanied by an unexpected feeling of elation. To heighten the emotional landscape of this song & truly set it apart, the feeling of gratitude is matched by a whirling sense of celebration!
    Hitesh introduced Suman Sridhar's unique voice to heighten the emotion and add unspeakable happiness to the song. The blend of Moora Lala's rustic voice with Suman's trademark style makes the song one of a kind. Where both singers resonate the same spirituality but covey
