Soumita Saha releases her new Rabindra Sangeet ‘Mor Bhabonare’

King of Clouds fondly dubbed as 'Megheder Raja' in Bengali, is the imaginary character that kept on appearing in our literature, and folk tales. Singer-painter Soumita Saha has now used the king of clouds as her muse in her latest release ‘Mor Bhabonare’. Soumita's latest work on this timeless Tagore's Song is a fusion work arranged on Jazz beats by Arindam Bhadra (Bumba).It is not only the song that bears uniqueness, but the singer sticks to her much-loved blend of art forms in the music video.
"We are familiar with Megheder Raja making his appearance on and off in literature, lyrics and folk tales. I have envisaged him in dancing around in traditional attire. I believe certain dance forms in our culture makes a marvelous blend of masculinity, grace, and Rhythmic Aura. I have envisaged the king of cloud pretty much that way," explains Soumita.

Arindam Bhadra who arranged music for the song and mixed and mastered the vocals feel, "This song is kind of challenging, as this arrangement presents Rabindra Sangeet in western beats without disturbing the emotions the song. I was up for it the moment i heard about it.”
Soumita who calls Arindam her musical sibling adds, "I believe Bumba da did a fantastic job, he completely designed this music just the way i wanted. “

Recently Soumita's experimental work on Tagore’s Music with Greg Sauzet made it to Italy's Cefalù International Film. The celebration remains pending as the Singer is currently busy with her upcoming Hindi Originals. Speaking about Mor Bhabonare Soumita, further adds, "There are few lines like 'tahare dekhina je dekhina, sudhu mone mone khone khone oi shona jay,' this very much can make me think of the king of clouds roaring followed by thunder. While 'baje olokhito tari chorone, runu runu noopor dhoni' gives an idea where the king of cloud dances around while it rains, the pitter patter sound of rain resonates with the chymes of his ghungroo.”
The idea of romanticising monsoon as a queen fondly dubbed as 'borsha rani ' is common, but Soumita’s idea idea of romanticising the King of Clouds in no doubt a new concept.
