Odisha: Rajinikanth-Starrer ‘Petta’ To Feature Song With Odia Folk Music

The hearts of Dakhinakali Sahi villagers have swelled with happiness as their own homegrown local band has recorded folk beats for a song for a Rajnikanth-starrer film ‘Petta’. The Tamil’s first music single ‘Marana Mass’ has already topped the charts, but little do people know that the catchy beats of the folk number have been played by Dhenkanal’s local artists from a nondescript village.
Maa Dakhinakali Singha Baja troupe was formed by one Ribas Naik who wanted to earn money by playing local percussion instruments in weddings and ‘Shobha jatra’. One day, Naik recoreded his band’s performance and uploaded it on YouTube. Soon, it caught the eye of ‘Petta’s’ music composer Anirudh Ravichander, who immediately gave Naik a call and roped in the team from Odisha.
Adding zing and oomph to the song, the Singha Baja troupe of Dhenkanal rendered beats to the peppy dance number that celebrates the superstardom Rajinikanth. A making video of the song released on social media shows that some 20-odd members of the band had visited the studio for recording the peppy number. With the beats of an assortment of percussion instruments, the music single with a generous dash of Oida folk music has grossed over 6 million views on YouTube, till now.
