#3 M.P.R.P - "CHAKITA-DANG" - Vivek Rajagopalan feat. K.C. Loy (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) HD

Chakita Dang is a super energetic and fun collaboration between Vivek and his long time friend K. C. Loy, a singer, lyricist and composer. The track is a befitting fruition of their friendship of many years. K.C.Loy wrote the track as a tribute to Vivek expressing his admiration for his music and his instruments, the mridangam and the ganjira.All the percussions were recorded live, in one take using EHX. The lyrics are bilingual and are written using Hindi chhand that are used in the poetic traditions of North India. This gives the track a very nautanki dance drama feel, prominent in Rajasthan, U.P. etc. The shadow puppetry visuals and story-telling in the video add to the folk-dance and drama element. The collaboration for the music video with Anurupa Roy, a renowned puppetry artist from Delhi is unprecedented in nature. Performing shadow puppetry to a ready track has never been attempted before. It is interesting to see boundaries between music and shadow theatre being blurred as the composer and the singer become characters, actors and performers in the video. Like all things experimental and first of their kind, the collaboration came with its own challenges.The entire video was shot in one day with very minimal post production work to maintain the organic and earthy feel.
