Juju Baby Music – operating under the banner of Artium Originals - is excited to announce the release of its newest EP, ‘Folk Outta The Box’, an innovative project that breathes new life into the timeless genre of folk music. This groundbreaking collection features fresh reinterpretations of traditional melodies, aiming to captivate both seasoned folk enthusiasts and a younger audience that craves fusion and contemporary sounds.

The EP includes five dynamic tracks with a rich mix of regional flavours, brought to life by some of the most talented young folk artists from across India. ‘Banna Re’, sung by Pinky Maidasani, captures the vibrant essence of Rajasthan with a fresh, contemporary twist; ‘Mitti Da Bawa’, performed by Swarjit Singh, embodies the lively spirit of Punjab, blending traditional folk with a modern flair; ‘Rongobati’, delivered by Jyoti Prakash, blends traditional Oriya elements with innovative sounds, celebrating the cultural depth of Odisha; ‘Shundori Komola’, brought to life by Sagnika Saha, offers a contemporary take on Bengali folk, highlighting the artistic richness of Bengal; and ‘Vadalri’, performed by Aneri, combines traditional Gujarati melodies with modern rhythms, creating a fresh and engaging sound.

Gourov Dasgupta, renowned Music Composer/Producer and Director of Juju Baby Music, said, "With 'Folk Outta The Box,' we wanted to reimagine the essence of folk music while preserving its soul. Our goal was to create something that resonates with today's listeners while celebrating the rich heritage of our traditional sounds. This EP is about embracing our roots and presenting them in a way that feels fresh and relevant for a new generation."

This project is a celebration of India's rich folk traditions, reimagined for today’s world. By blending age-old melodies with modern rhythms, we’re creating an experience that honours the past while embracing the future. We hope this EP resonates with listeners of all ages, sparking a new appreciation for the timeless beauty of folk music.”
