Now, ‘Jamal Kudu’ receives a sitar and trap makeover

Musician Rishab Rikhiram Sharma mixes the song from ‘Animal’ with traditional and electronic sounds

The track Jamal Kudu from the movie Animal not only has us humming along but also inspired a trend of balancing glasses on our heads. Musician Rikhiram Sharma has redefined the soundscape with a jaw-dropping rendition. In his version of the Iranian song, he seamlessly blends traditional sitar vibes with electrifying trap beats and bassliness, creating a fusion that’s sure to leave you mesmerised. While the sitar follows the tune of the chorus with personal touches by Sharma, the trap music gives it a different flow altogether. 

We can see any club or house party get pumped with this rendition by Sharma and we can’t wait for the full version. But till then if you’re looking for music where electronic music meets culture, then you can always check out the works of artistes like Akhlad Ahmed, Shrii and more.
