Marriage bands in Udaipur are taking full advantage of the current flavour of the season – “demonetisation” and entertaining the marriage audience with their version of the Modi Song. The Rajasthani song has been a big hit and band waalas are taking full advantage of the same.

The baaratis are seen dancing to the tune of: “Wah re Mhara Modi ji Kai Lehar Chaladi Re, Panch Sau, Hazaar Rupaiya Upar Rok Laga De Re ..Achhya achhya kanjooso ki neend uda di reh; wah ra …”. The song has been a big hit and is being played both while the band is in motion and also at receptions.

Riaz Khan, owner of the Maharaja band said that the song is contemporary and they have embedded it with fast music in high pitch making it an instant hit. Further, given that the wedding families have been through a lot of trouble given the cash crunch, they are able to relate to the music.

The “Modi Lehar” starts with praising of “Swatchh Bharat Abhiyaan” and moves on to issues of black money, hoarding, corruption and even “Surgical Strikes”.
