Pata Kahini: A song for life in confinement
"Pata can be a leaf of a tree, a page of a book, a chapter in one's life or maybe a letter of love. The song expresses a story that is covered with allegory," said Rahul Ananda from Joler Gaan about his new release, Pata Kahini.
He recently released the song on his Facebook page, and performed it at different live programmes, from his home.
The song, written by Sumankumar Dash, was composed by Rahul himself. Joler Gaan's Mallik Yishorja also performed the song live on video. Upon its release, the song was well-received by listeners.
"I've written many songs, but haven't tuned them yet. When I received the lyrics for this song from Sumankumar, I started tuning it instantly. The lyrics connect well with my current life," Rahul added.
Songwriter and folk researcher Sumankumar also spoke about the intensions behind the song. "As people have lost their lives due to the coronavirus pandemic, I wrote the song to express the universal truth of love and death," he said.
