Moments into a conversation with the undisputed 'disco king' Bappi Lahiri, during his recent visit to Vadodara and the chubby musician breaks into Ooh La La and says with a smile, "It has become an anthem of sorts, isn't it? Even when I do stage shows abroad, the crowds ask me to sing it at least four times! I have completed 40 years in the industry, but even this generation still loves my music. I have always believed that songs are meant for enjoyment and I guess that's the secret behind my success." He adds, "I have delivered seven hit songs in a row and they are revisiting my old songs. That's why I am looking forward to the release of Himmatwala. It's a great feeling. I may have done about 470 films, but I never feel ki bahot ho gaya." Excerpts from a chat
Destination Gujarat
Gujarati is a very sweet language and I have always used elements from Gujarati songs in my music. In fact, I had really enjoyed composing music for the Gujarati film Janam Janam Na Saathi. I love the garba songs here, they are so rich!
Music aaj, kal
Singers have come and gone, but my songs continue to be repeated and remixed even today. I feel very lucky that I got to work with Lata Mangeshkar, Asha didi and many more in the 1980s. Not just every singer, but even the composers back then had their own individual styles and distinct identity about their voice/music. You could easily differentiate between film scores by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Kalyanji-Anandji or R D Burman. I won't say that good work isn't happening. There are hit songs being made and some good singers too. But the problem is that today, most composers and singers lack originality. You may love a certain song, but that distinct flavour isn't quite there.
Refreshing break
After 1999, I thought that I needed a break. As a senior composer, I didn't like the trend of three music directors working on a single film. But after a few quiet years, I was back for good.
