Majumdar, 44, is ready with his new album Bansuri, a compendium of eight compositions. Is Bansuri another Flute Fantasy? “No, Bansuri is a perfect blend of modern music and classical notes. The emphasis is on retaining the actual melody,” he said.
The first song, I am at your feet, starts slow. However, after the prologue, the track shifts swiftly, before being supplanted by the pakhawaj. For those seeking a hideout from the daily tumult, the folksy Fun Fare captures the hypnotising sounds of the keyboard and tribal drums. “I picked up the beats from the many tribal festivals I attended,” said Majumdar. Overall, the album is loaded with power.
“Funky music is the only way to keep this generation hooked,” said Majumdar, whose Bansuri II will serve exactly that, while his next album Ronu Majumdar and Friends promises to be a “spiritually uplifting journey with seven of his best friends”. On the anvil is also a world tour beginning in New Zealand on March 22.
