Music duo Sachin-Jigar discuss how folk offering Ada Sai” emerged as the crux of “Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo” a series based on a drug cartel and
the song as innocent as this composed by them found a place.
Music journalists who consume cinematic pieces with intention, rarely get moved by the background score of a series that we feel compelled to research on the composers and request for an interview. More often than not, however, such moments lead them to musician duo Sachin-Jigar, whose deftly crafted musical motifs brought Homi Adajania’s recently released web series, Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo, to life.
The Music-duo Sachin Jigar travelled as far as to Gujarat and recorded folk artistes, and instruments like the jodia pawa, a double flute, and the banjo, also called the bulbul tarang.
As per Sachin, they needed those flavours in the background score,” for the Dimple Kapadia-fronted series that follows a group of fierce women who run a covert drug cartel. The music duo got these raw sounds from there and allowed the artistes to perform like they would in their natural setting. They recorded each instrument individually, returned to Mumbai and then thought about how we wanted to layer them,” giving due credit to the Adajania for giving them the freedom to chart the series’ auditory course.
Incontrovertibly the musical crux of the show, the folk offering, Ada sai, emerges to be a special track for the duo adding that to be able to adapt something so free-willing and pious into this series is special.
The show, based on drugs, and discussing family legacy, has many layers. Within this, for a song as innocent as this one to find its space is wonderful.
Also, the song in itself has a journey of its own from the first episode to the last one, you can see how it evolves.
Meanwhile, the music duo hope that people can fall in love with the story so deeply that they eventually begin to think of the score, and say that they liked the music behind a particular scene.
Notably, their collaboration with Arijit Singh has been the latest attraction across streaming platforms, with aficionados dubbing the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke track, Phir aur kya chahiye, a musical masterpiece. “Arijit is a boon for every composer. A voice for a song is like an actor for a film — it is what most people are drawn to. Arijit is a blessing from God. It’s natural for him to comprehend the vibe of a song. If you tell him to do something, the way in which his voice obeys his mind is amazing. We have recorded with all playback singers. Each one is unique, but he is today’s Kishore Kumar. He can sing any song in any style. He’s a composer, and arranger, and has a grasp on many instruments.
