KKL: This is remixed/edited version of ‘keh ke Lunga’ from the Gangs of Wasseypur part one. Great words and slow music makes it one of the best of the album. The later part of song is even darker where the words say everything has gone ‘black’ from the soil to water to air to pearl to everything around. This brings you how the job that the husband does has made his being dark outside as well as inside. The lyrics tells you how everything appears ‘black’ from the “saiyaan kaal, tan kala, man kala, jubaan kali’ as ‘saiyaan karte kolbazari’. Kala rey: This song starts with a dark tone, dark words and dark sounds of someone breaking something with a hammer. This sounds different from the original and can’t be said to be just a remix of the original. This is a bit fast and uses bass guitar and other western instruments. The mood is generally playful the members will sing in a way as if complaining about their own affairs or any random person in the audience and seek your help by their gestures.Įlectric piya (fused): This is the ‘fused’ version of the above song. This kind of music is also used by visiting sing-dance parties in villages during pujas or melas. Listen this for the another kind of music from the villages of Bihar. It is fast and brings the funny ways of singing when school guys will try to translate poplar songs from Hindi to English and put them on the existing tune. This song uses the lyrics of ‘tar bijli se patle hamare piya’ song and improvises it on a different tune. The music is another kind which is used at the Chaupals or temples in Keertans where as the song progresses the tempo increases. This song uses a mix of Hindi and English words but the accent is Bihari. The musical instruments used are ‘dholak’ and harmonium.Įlectric piya: Rasika D rani has given the voice for this song. The voice is very very sweet and it is the way these songs are sung with all the rusticity in it. Here, the singer is asking the grooms father, uncle and even Jannayak and Loknayak Jay Prakash Narayan for the groom being as thin as a wire. Typically these songs include abusive words of the region but it is just for the fun and tradition. The women will sing these sweet songs holding all the relatives from the family of the groom responsible for his physical or mental state (it ranges from the weight, height, complexion, speech… anything). The particular song takes a dig at the ‘sasuraal-wallahs’ for the groom being so thin. As the date of marriage approaches the women from the locality will gather and sing these songs. Taar bijli se patle hamare piya: Sung by none other than the voice of Bihar folk, Padmashree Sharda Sinha, this song is from the genre of “vivah geet” (marriage songs) from Bihar. Listen this for the pace and beats and the playful singing. The lyrics is playful and mocks someone’s fashion and macho ways of showoff, “daant se khole beer bottle”, “line se loha modey”, “sab rangbaji saath me lekar”. The vocals are powerful and music, which appears to have beats of typical 70s disco dance numbers, is pacey. The singer is a 12-year old Durga who has sung it wonderfully and her voice is overpowering the music. Here is the music review of the Gangs Of Wasseypur part 2 which has 12 songs out of which four are instrumental, three are remix/fusion and other five are original.ĭil chhi chha leather: The music is good and if you could get the lyrics even better. Sneha Khanwalkar has given two hit albums on a trot and I am sure people will love the songs of Gangs Of Wasseypur part 2 with the same intensity in which they loved the Gangs Of Wasseypur part 1. In general, the songs are fast besides the ‘Kala rey’ which is dark in every sense of it. There are different songs like ‘Moora’ which brings you the mixture of English words into local dialect and how people mould it to suit their tongue. It even contains a marriage song in the voice of Sharda Sinha which is a legend of Bihari folk. It gives you some of the different genres of Bihar’s folk. This album is much more experimenting in nature than its predecessor. Keep the first part out of the mind and you will find the songs interesting. The first time you listen to it, you might feel it as a drag but listen it second time and you will realise it’s good. This album carries the momentum of the first part of Gangs of Wasseypur and does it convincingly.
