Another Coke studio episode so another guaranteed 3 or 4 good songs one can hear to .Let us see whether Ram Sampath has also made interesting music like others or not.
Rangbati- The song starts off with some drum beats and people will think it is a rock song but when Sona's excellent vocals enter it becomes an Assamese folk song and the song continues on with folk with some keyboard in the middle but the song is just a lovely folk song that one will fall love with easily. Great start!!!!
Chadh Chadh Jana- My favourite of the four songs. The song starts off with a drum then goes into folk and this is intense folk. Rural folk at its best. One will think they are attending a ceremony in a village of Haryana. The song is a great composition with the background vocals adding a lot to the song. Bhanvari Devi has really sung the song perfectly. May not appeal to some people but it is a treat for folk music lovers. Even Krishna Kumar Buddha Ram has sung his part well.
Ahnad Naad- Another really strong song .Another song that uses drums really well and it is a bit more peppy song and is a song that should appeal to everyone and it is a perfect song to be honest. One can sway with the music, tap their feet and also close eyes and enjoy the music. Sona Mohapatra has sung this beautifully again and this album shows us her versatility. She has sung a Rajasthani and Assamese folk song so she is surely one of the best singers out there.
Bharatiyar Trap Rap- This is the most experimental song of the episode and I loved it. The song starts off with some piece of classical music maybe Carnatic and then a Tamil Rap. Can you believe it tamil rap?? I have never heard a Tamil rap before. The rap is very fast and the enters some very soulful Carnatic music. This song is a Carnatic classical song and people who love fusion of rap and classical music will love it. Really good piece of music.
This episode is a great one and Coke Studio is just getting better and better. Ram Sampath has shown his range. He has Assamese folk, Rajasthani folk, Haryanavi folk and Carnatic classical song all in one album. Impressive stuff.
My picks- All songs
Rating- 4 stars out of 5
