Raat Raazi

Fans were in for a treat after stages (officially) closed on Day Two at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender 2013 in Bangalore, as Prateek Kuhad, Baiju Dharmajan and Nischay Parekh settled down at the MTS Discover lounge to play a couple of tune each to some adoring fans. 

Prateek Kuhad - Ab Kya Hoga (Acoustic @ Bacardi NH7 Weekender Secret Set)

A Chennai recontextualized version of The Doors' Riders on the Storm, with lyrics by Gurunarayana Ravi (https://twitter.com/raghuthaatha). This song is about the Auto drivers on the Chennai storm, wreaking havoc on the roads but they too have their side of the story to tell, a story of poverty and exploitative usury. 

It also features a Carnatic violin lead in the Raga Karaharapriya (Dorian mode) and the quintessential sound of a Chennai auto recorded by @mdeii 

Guitar - Fender Stratocaster recorded through a Boss ME-25 with a vibrato effect
Violin - Electric violin through Boss Me-25 with a delay
Percussion, bass and Wurlitzer organ - programmed on Logic Pro X

Lyrics (with translation)

Autokaran naan (I am an auto driver)
Chennai Autokaran naan (A Chennai autodriver I am)
MGR peran naan (I'm MGR's grandson)
Baasha machaan naan (I'm the Badshah's brother-in-law)
Auto tune thaan (the pitch perfect sound of the autotune)
Enga engine sattham thaan (is the sound of our engine)

I'm a terror on the road 
Vaanga come aboard (Please come aboard)
Anna Salayil (On Anna road in Chennai)
Seerum morattu kaalai naan (I'm the rampaging wild bull)
Police paathaakka (If the police happen to see me)
padhugum paambu naan (I'm the slithering snake that evades them)

Rendu pullakutteenga (I have 2 young children)
Saettu vaddi thollainga (the local pawn broker bleeds me with high interest loans)
Petrol velai thaan (The price of petrol)
eri pochunga (has risen skyward)
Meter pottaakka (if you insist on metered fare)
Vootla patnithaanunga (my family will starve)

Manja colouril (Of yellow hue...)
senja thanga therunga (is my golden chariot)
Ulagam pooraga (all over the world)
namma vandi odumga (my auto will run)
Ella oorilum (in every town)
namakku nalla perunga (I have a good reputation)
Nambi erunga (believe me and let's go for a ride)

Riders On The Auto

Teardrop Bahudari

Dhal Gaya Din Ho Gayi Sham - Afro Mix

“You ever walk into a place on a Saturday night, and the whole room changes the second she walks in? I’m talking about that girl whose smile lights up the room, whose eyes make you forget your own name, and whose confidence just ownsevery inch of the dance floor.
This next song is about that moment the way the music gets louder, the crowd starts swayin’, and before you know it, you’re caught in her storm. She’s wild, she’s beautiful, she’s unstoppable…
This one’s called ‘She’s A Tornado.’”


She’s a Tornado

Roll On

Do we ever stop asking for more?
