Coke Studio Bangla Season 3 has kicked off with a special focus on the talented textile artisans of Bangladesh. The first song of the season, titled Tati, led by Coke Studio Bangla’s creative director Shayan Chowdhury Arnob, brings together weaver Md. Gonjer Ali, Nigerian musician Oli Boy and actress Jaya Ahsan for a unique musical collaboration.
Tati is a blend of three different songs and features rhythmic verses sung by Jamdani weavers. The lyrics and visuals of the song pay tribute to Bangladesh’s rich handloom heritage, particularly the intricate Jamdani weave, showcasing the hard work and craftsmanship of the weavers.
The music video for Tati is vibrant and colourful too. Performers are dressed in Jamdani and other handloom textiles, with support from the clothing brand, Thread.
The song itself is a fusion of Bangladeshi folk music and Western sounds, incorporating traditional instruments like the sarangi and dotara, along with Afrobeats. The rhythmic movements of handlooms set the tone for the song, creating a unique and captivating musical experience.
Coke Studio Bangla Season 3 promises a total of 11 songs, with music producers Pritom Hasan, Emon Chowdhury, Shuvendu Das Shuvo and Shayan Chowdhury Arnob at the helm of affairs. The season continues to celebrate the cultural richness of Bangladesh while pushing the boundaries of musical creativity. Don’t miss.
