Rashmeet Kaur, Ikka and Deep Kalsi give a contemporary twist to folk song ‘Bajre Da Sitta’

Bajre Da Sitta, a classic Punjabi folk ceremonial song whose popularity dates back to the 1940’s will now have a modern rendition that blends fusion folk and boom bap beats and a perfect track to make the wedding squad groove this marriage season. 

Performed by the uber cool Kalamkaar discoveries singer-songwriter Rashmeet Kaur and 25-year-old, singer, songwriter, producer Deep Kalsi, with hip hop heavyweight Ikka cooking up an intoxicating rap storm, the glitzy rendition serves as a picture-perfect dance-floor offering for the wedding season!  Interestingly the music video with its’ festive colourful pop vibe also showcases the debut of popular stand-up comedian Atul Khatri in the role of an anxious father nudging his free-spirited daughter, essayed by Rashmeet Kaur to find a suitable groom and settle down. 

Rashmeet Kaur states, “Bajre Da Sitta is a very popular Punjabi folk wedding song. Our upbeat take on this iconic classic imbibes a blend of folk and old school hip-hop and we also added our own lyrics which talk about desi style of expression of love. It was an incredibly fun experience putting danceable number together and reintroducing a classic to the younger generation with a twist!” 

Ikka states, “When I heard the song, I got the vibe of pure Punjabi essence well mixed with urban music. I wrote my part according to that only -  it was great working with Deep Kalsi and Rashmeet Kaur. They're both fantastic and are so much into the music that it's a pleasure to work with them. I hope the audience loves the song as much as I do.” 

Deep Kalsi states, “While the original composition pivots around the harvest season, our rendition without meddling with the original composition embraces a quirky element that also celebrates love and friendship. This song is also our humble effort of saluting the farmer community who are the spirit and the backbone of this country.” 

The track is released by Sony Music India and is availale across all major streaming platforms.
