Author : Smitarani Panda | Published On : 23 Aug 2026
The beauty of folk music lies in its ability to tell stories through simple melodies, traditional instruments and powerful emotions. Across Odisha and India, folk traditions have played an important role in preserving cultural heritage. Folk Studio 2 continues this legacy with its latest musical presentation, Rang Rasiya.
Described as a celebration of love through the colours of folk, Rang Rasiya brings together talented artists and musicians to create a vibrant musical experience. The song is performed by Susmita Das ft. Pankaj Jal, while Pankaj Jal has contributed as both composer and lyricist.
The musical arrangement combines several instruments, including flute, drum, dhol, guitar and keyboard. These elements create a rich sound while maintaining the traditional character that makes Odia folk songs distinctive. The result is a track that can appeal to audiences who enjoy both traditional music and contemporary musical presentations.
The visual story of Rang Rasiya adds another dimension to the song. Directed by Dev Meher, the music video brings together folk performers, musicians and scenic surroundings to complement the mood of the music. Auromira Entertainment serves as the producer behind the project.
Folk Studio 2 follows the appreciation received by its first edition and sets out to explore more songs, stories and colours inspired by folk traditions. The series aims to keep the timeless spirit of folk music alive while presenting it in a format that can connect with today’s digital audience.
Projects like Rang Rasiya are valuable because they help introduce traditional music to new listeners. Digital platforms such as YouTube make it possible for regional folk music to reach audiences beyond geographical boundaries. This creates new opportunities for artists while helping preserve and promote cultural traditions.
For anyone interested in Odia folk music, Odisha culture, traditional music or Indian folk songs, Rang Rasiya offers a meaningful musical experience.
The official music video is available on YouTube for listeners who want to experience the song and explore the beginning of the Folk Studio 2 journey.
