In addition to topping pop music charts, Punjabi tracks also enliven weddings and celebrations in many parts of India. One such popular Punjabi folk song, ‘Chitta Kukkad’, has been beautifully merged with lo-fi music and contemporary beats to create what the makers are calling ‘the new wedding anthem’.
Created by Akansha Bandari and Sez on the Beat, the new song ‘Ranjhana’ features actor Sanket Mehta, and is released by Velvet Vibes. Made keeping in mind the millennial bride, and the feeling of her big-day, the song has a fresh sound owing to Akanksha’s honeyed vocals and Sez on the Beat’s contemporary music production.
Since “marriages are now one of the few occasions where family and friends of all ages gather” and partake in a shared culture, the makers tell IANSlife that using traditional songs fused with modern sounds helps different generations in having fun together while safeguarding our Indian culture.
