LONG-RUNNING, GLOBAL MUSIC series Coke Studio has gathered over 25 artists to launch its first-ever Tamil season, with eight songs set to release in the coming weeks.
The heavy-hitters include young and stalwart minds alike, from singer-songwriter and composer Sean Roldan and rapper-songwriter Arivu helming a bulk of the duties, featuring vocalists such as Chinmayi Sripaada, Tamil folk music veteran Pushpavanam Kuppusamy, singer Gaana Ulaganathan, Carnatic artist Sanjay Subramanyan and Khatija Rahman.
Representing modern and traditional music forms with an inclusive approach -as has often been the case with Coke Studio curating - singer-composer Benny Dayal, rock band Jhanu, producer OfRO, vocalist Meenakshi Elaiyaraja, transgender artist Gaana Vimala, tribal group Mullai Kalai Kuzhu, Oppaari artists Mutthammal and Mutthayya and Tamil Sufi artist Arifullah Shah Rafaee and storyteller John Pradeep are also part of Coke Studio Tamil season one.
At the press conference announcing the launch of Coke Studio Tamil, composer Sean Roldan mentioned that everything took place within the span of a month, with content production helmed by Motion Content Group and assists from lyricists like Krithika Nelson, Arivu and Kaber Vasuki. From songs about the environment, to a lullaby, to ones that touch upon faith and plurality and one that highlights war from a poet's perspective, Arivu spoke at the press conference to emphasize that these were songs of Tamil people and ones that represented Tamil culture.
