LYRICS OF RESISTANCE
Vidya Shah For 36-year-old musician Vidya Shah, coming out with the album Hum Sab- Celebrating Cultures of Resistance is where her love for music meets her calling for social issues and interest in advocacy. She tells Deepika Khatri about how it came about. How is Hum Sab relevant now? The 80s and 90s saw a lot of political rallies and movements. The poetry of those words is still alive today in the restlessness of the youth and their struggle for change. This album gives a new tune to those lyrics of resistance. I want it to permeate people’s consciousness, even if they are just humming to the music and don’t immediately grasp the lyrics. Where did the inspiration for the album come? I spent a year in Jhabua, a tribal district of Madhya Pradesh in the mid 90s, working with women and children and documenting their oral tradition. It made me introspective and I’ve wanted to put an album together ever since. The songs on this album draw from that experience, reflecting different cultures, whether it’s a song in Bhilali, Do Awazein for which Javed Akhtar wrote the lyrics or Ham Hain Iskey Maalik, written during the 1857 war of independence.
