Japanese Enka into Indian Raga
A new experimental song is released by a rising music label, KRUNK from Mumbai.
Noriko Shakti produced, composed, and sang “Anatani Kimeta (I Choose You)”- Japanese Enka lyrics into one of the most famous and blissful Indian Raga scale “Raga Bhoopali” on Triphop beats with Sitar recorded by Kaushik Kanti Bhattacharya.
This song is a reflection of Noriko Shakti’s experience and practice – Music production & composing in Tokyo, Indian Classical Music training & Tabla research in Kolkata, and songwriting & singing influenced by Japanese pops.
“Anatani Kimeta (I Choose You)” is placed as Track No. 1 of the compilation album named “Thandai” released by KRUNK from Mumbai, India. Thandai is well-known Indian traditional spiced milk, a delicious and aromatic coolant. The songs soothe your body from excess heat.
シャクティ紀子がプロデュース、作曲、歌唱した”Anatani Kimeta (I choose you)“は、日本語の演歌調の歌詞をインド古典音楽で有名なラーガ、”ラーガボパリ”の音階に載せて歌ったチルアウト／トリップホップ曲。彼女のコルカタ時代の友人でシタール奏者であるKaushik Kanti Bhattacharyaの演奏が、シャクティ紀子の制作したダンスフロアにもしっかり対応する太いベースを効かせたビートに絡む、小さなジュエリーのような一曲。
インド古典音楽の本場インドのコルカタに住んで大学院でタブラの修士号を取得し長年修行、さらにDJとして活動していた東京時代のミュージック・プロダクションや作曲の経験、すべてを反映。
“Anatani Kimeta (I choose you)“は、ムンバイのアウダーグラウンド・レーベルKRUNKよりリリースされたコンピレーションアルバム”Thandai”のトラック No. 1として収録されています。Thandaiとは、インドの伝統的な甘いスパイスミルクで、美味しくて香りの良い清涼飲料。Thandaiが、インドの暑さから身体を守ってくれるように、インドで活躍するアーティストたちのクールな楽曲がまとめられています。
