Barely a few months old, Salim-Sulaiman's music label is turning out to be a treasure trove of unconventional sounds owing to the duo's decision to encourage artistes who would rarely find opportunities in mainstream music. Following Armaan Malik's Beech raaste, the label's latest offering is a track by friends of 25 years. An ode to daughters, Jogi re sees Vijay Prakash and Tapas Relia blend Swahili, Hindustani and jazz music.
The uncanny amalgamation of styles, says Relia, came about owing to their individual preferences. "Vijay is a celebrated classical singer. I am known for contemporary music, and our daughters have grown up listening to western pop songs. They are comfortable singing in English. While the initial plan didn't involve bringing these styles together, we eventually ended up doing so," he says.
