What is this album about?
This
is the music album from the first season of the Indian edition of the
Coke Studio television program format where multilingual artistes and
musicians of different genres come together to create unique sounds.
Who is it by?
The
album is the coming together of some of the most popular and offbeat
musicians from Indian classical, folk, film and non-film genres, like Bombay Jayashree, Rashid
Khan, KK, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Lesle Lewis, Sabri
Brothers, Harshdeep Kaur, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Raghu Dixit, Kailasa,
Richa Sharma,Wadali Brothers, Khagen and Mousam Gogoi.
Why should listen to it?
Much
like a minute-long trailer giving a snapshot of what a movie is about,
this album made for easy listening, gives a fair idea of Indian music through its melding of bits and pieces of
various genres, so one can then go on and delve deeper into the genres
that one enjoys.
