Dhun
Sarthak Saksena is crafting a harmonious convergence of Indian musical heritage and contemporary Western influences. Dhun begins with a compelling hook, “Payaliya bole sun mori dhun,” which inspired the entire narrative. The song revolves around the symbolic representation of the humble ghungroo/payal, serving as an artist’s silent plea for recognition within the dynamic setting of a musical showcase. Sarthak has infused Western beats and music, creating a harmonious blend that mirrors the artist’s struggle to showcase his art amidst the crowd. Deliberate pauses in the music highlight the ghungroo/payal, offering them the spotlight they deserve. An experimental touch introduced the flute in the chorus. Dhun successfully captures the essence of the artist’s silent journey and his quest for recognition in the diverse landscape of music.
