If the influence of folk music in his celebrated cinematic creations isn’t testimony enough, Amit Trivedi has made his adulation for regional music evident in his interviews, over and over again. BTS footage of his journey across five states to search for “sounds of the soil” appears to show him in new light — unusually mischievous, delighted, and at ease. It’s evident that albeit tiring, this road journey — which led to the making of six tracks that reflect the cultures of five states — has been one that he has cherished.
For Trivedi, accepting this offer from a vehicle brand was only fitting since it aligned with his vision for his year-old label, AT Azaad. “I have been doing a series of [folk] songs for the label, and the requirements of this project were similar [to that]. I wanted to shed light on the folk artistes of our country,” says the musician. Collaborating with him are veteran musicians of the respective states, including Gujarat’s “dandiya king” Kirtidan Gadhvi, Rajasthani folk singer Mame Khan and Ruchika Chauhan, Kolkata’s Rana Mazumder and Goutam Das Bau, Tamil Nadu’s Anthony Daasan, Rajasthan’s Kavita Seth and Bhanwari Devi, and Maharashtra’s Nagesh Morweka.
