While the rapper claims that he has 'sampled' a folk song in the marigold flower, other musicians argue that it's not a sample
Rapper Badshah found himself on his latest single 'Genda
Phool', a duet with Payal Dev on the song 'Genda Phool', which he released
earlier in the week. Music lovers have given him the slogan for not crediting
jongleur Ratan Kahar, who originally wrote the 48-year-old Bengali song, 'Boro
Lokar Beti Lo', which has inspired the new single. The track became popular in
1976 when it had been adapted and presented by Swapna Chakraborty, a famous
folkloric (Bengali folk music) singer.
When we approached Badshah, the day he released the song
(March 26), he said that the song wasn't a remake of the old Bengali hit.
"It's not a remake, it's called Sampling," he elaborated, "I saw
Tara's sample and told the programmer and shut friend, that I wanted to use it
in one among my songs. Since she's a Bengali ., They immediately recognized the
tune and told me that it had been a famous folk song (Bengali folk song). So we
decided to incorporate a folk song in it. once you use a neighborhood of a song
C within the second song is not it. Remake. "
After online controversies about the 'marigold flower' the
previous evening, the emperor went survive Instagram to offer his side of the
story about Jacqueline Fernandez and therefore the song portrayed about her. He
said, "I knew it had been a Bengali folk song. I checked YouTube and
located that the song had retreated several times before, but Ratan
Kahar's name wasn't mentioned anywhere. i'm sure he's an excellent artist. As
an artist, I just wanted to sample this beautiful piece of music during a song
and tell it to the planet. Today, we hear the logs that are the last word
moment. i would like people to succeed in Ratan Kahar and tell them that I
might like to help them. I request all friends to assist such folk artists on
humanitarian and artistic grounds. "
Talking about the controversy, composer Jeet Ganenguli said,
"Boro Locker Beti Lo, sung by Swara Chakraborty, was composed by renowned
composer Chandrakanta Nandi. When someone uses another composer's tune to an
excellent extent, it can't be called sampling. Credit should tend where it's
due. We reached bent the Kolkata-based Nandi family and musician and tabla
player, Joydeb Nandi confirmed, “The Boro Locker daughter was composed by my
maternal uncle, Chandrakanta Nandi. it had been a really popular song and that
we have grown up taking note of it. The song was presented by Swapna
Chakraborty. "
Agreeing with Ganguly, singer-composer Palash Sen explained
the term 'sample'. He said, "The pieces of sample music are placed on the
web by publishers and need to be purchased. they will be free if the artist
doesn't want money. So yes, a sample can only be used if it's paid or if it's
clear that it had been free. Now, during this case, a full lyrical vocal part
from the first song has been used, so this is often definitely not a specimen.
for instance, within the song, Kalyon Ka Chaman, when the poem was employed by
an American rapper, Bappi Da (Bappi Lahiri) sued him and allegedly won the
case. "
Composer Joel Mukherjee feels it's unfair to credit the
first singer. "The emperor has not only used the first raga but has not
given credit due to it. it's never a sample. A sample is employed once you use
a tone. for instance, if Someone is playing the guitar or a flute and that we
use that tone. " this is often then called sampling. Using an equivalent
raga can't be called a sample. nobody can take it completely then use it in
their own song without giving credit to the source. "
Ratan Kahar: 'I need to be respected and recognized for my
work'
Speaking to BT, folk
artist Ratan Kahar, who lives in Birbhum district of West Bengal, said, “I
wrote the song in 1972. it had been sung by Swapna Chakraborty in 1976 and it
became famous. But still, I didn't get credit for it. I even have heard the
newest version (Badshah's song). I do not know him and haven't heard of him,
but he has used my song without my permission for it. I'm an artist and that I
need to be respected and recognized for my work. Also, he has swung the song so
badly that how can people that love Bengali music and culture allow it? "
