Artist Jatin and Wings launches his Sufi Folk Tales – A Fusion of Music and Culture supported by Indiea Records.
Jatin and Wings musical vision through his Sufi Folk Tales comes to life with the support label partner – IndieA Records. This innovative project merges the rich traditions of Sufi and Rajasthani folk music with modern sounds and themes. Spearheaded by composer and lyricist Jatin, the endeavour aims to create a unique auditory experience that transcends boundaries and resonates with audiences globally.
Sufi Folk Tales by Jatin and Wings is a collection of songs that encapsulate the essence of Indian heritage and cultural diversity. Under this project, Jatin has composed and produced three captivating tracks that showcase the beauty and depth of Sufi and folk music. Each song is a testament to Jatin’s passion for storytelling and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity.
The first single from Sufi Folk Tales, Moko Kahan Dhoonde, features child prodigy Thanu Khan, a 10-year-old from Suwala Village, located 80 km from the Pakistan border. Inspired by a bhajan by Kabir, the song explores the way to experience God and His presence. Jatin will be also releasing two more songs under this project- Mann Ki Gathri & Tu Dekh Tamasha with Arif Khan Rodu & Moti Khan as the lead vocalists respectively. Each track seamlessly blending traditional melodies with contemporary sounds to offer listeners a truly immersive experience. To make this project more authentic and real, Jatin travelled to the remotest parts of Rajasthan and spent months with the artists to bring out the best music for the audience. He also recorded and shot the videos at the artists’ homes.
Speaking about the project, Jatin shared, _”I have always been drawn to the power of music to evoke emotions and inspire change. With The Folk Project, I wanted to create something that celebrates the rich tapestry of Indian music while offering a fresh perspective that speaks to modern audiences. This project is a labour of love, and I am grateful to IndieA Records._
Jatin and Wings is no stranger to the world of music, with a diverse background that spans genres and mediums. From his early days with a metal band signed with Universal Records and MTV to his recent ventures in writing and composing for popular platforms like TVF, Netflix, and Pocket Aces, Jatin’s journey has been marked by creativity and innovation. It was during his extensive travels across Rajasthan during the pandemic that he discovered a newfound appreciation for the region’s folk music, laying the foundation for The Folk Tales.
This collaboration underscores the shared values of creativity, innovation, and community engagement that define both IndieA Records highlighting their commitment to promoting artistic vision and cultural diversity.
