Chords & Notes


Deepawali Aayi Re

Beams, Rs.99

Five young singers welcome Deepawali with a fresh offering of songs that have a traditional, yet fiesty flavour. Arpita Mukherjee, Vishal Kothari, Sandeep Batraa, ex-Indian Idol contestant Meenal Jain and Kavita Soni have put together a delightful CD of seven songs, each of which is refreshing in its simplicity and youthful zest. “Deepawali” and “Happy Diwali” are colourful group songs that bring out the true spirit of the festive season.

Meenal Jain’s voice is captivating in “Nayi Subah”, while Vishal Kothari sings “Honsla” with maturity and flair. The other songs are “Duhaee”, sung by Aripta Mukherjee, “Sunle Yaara” by Sandeep Batraa and “Umeed” by Kavita Soni. The lyrics are sensible as well as sensitive. Technicalities don’t seem to matter as one celebratory tune after another takes you to a different level. Some tunes might sound familiar, but the new talent more than makes up for it. This album, which makes for a welcome change from the same old Diwali sangeet, should appeal to one and all. And at Rs.99 one could easily tag it along with other festive purchases.
