university students had a good time. University
Beats correspondents met up with the trio
minutes before their performance.
-
UB: How does it feel to be a part of the
youth, being such a hearthrob of
university campuses at this age?
Anjan Dutt: Well, I have always tried to
retain my youth, I feel that my these people in
the age group of twenty to twenty five thirty is
my audience, always has been my audience.
Working with young people, working for young
people.
UB: Are we going to hear some new
songs from you since it has been quite a
while?
AD: I havent written songs for the last twelve
years. But now I am writing again. I felt that I
wouldnt write songs about the same things in
the same way that I have always done. Amyt
Datta and I are releasing an album called
Unoshaat, which is releasing on the tenth of
May, so we will be back there. This is our own
production, just the two of us. We will be
singing a couple of songs from the album
today . Our music has changed over the years.
You see, an electric band is too populist. This
is where we are doing what we want to do,
explore the art. We have come to a stage of
our life that an electic band restricts us from
doing what we really want to do. I love the
guitar as an instrument. And we are using only
the guitar. Like, so many song writers,
essentially from the West, who have influenced
me. I want to sing their songs.
UB: Your response to Kabir Suman
winning the nat ional award?
AD: I am very happy. Proud of him.
UB: Pete Seeger passed away this year.
He had a great influence on your music
and on Kabir Sumans music. Additionally,
the protest folk movement has had a
great impact in erstwhile Bengal, and it
still has. So how big a loss is Pete
Seegers passing away ? How did you
react to that?
AD: See, I dont think Pete Seegers death
was a loss. Because, he was almost a
hundred. And he has written enough songs
that will remain for years. And not only the
protest movement, I think, as a song-writer
everyone was influenced by him at some point
of time.Its like I dont categorise Pete S eeger
as a man of protest and his politics. I look at
him as the singer who brought back many
songs that were getting lost.I look at him as an
anthropologer, who has brought so many
songs when they were getting lost. Be it
Spanish, be it American or Latin American. I
dont think the death of a man like Pete
Seeger, Rabindranath or Mr Dylan, is a loss.
They have already given us enough.
UB: Your songs have always been about
average middle class people. Their
anguish and pathos. How do you look
upon the world today amidst so much
political turmoil? You have sung about
child labour in Alibaba and adapted

4/6
Michael row the boat ashore, while
speaking of Communal violence. What is
your stance today?
AD: Very honestly, there has been very little
politics in my music. It has been more of
sociological. It has been about middle class
people around me. I havent explored political
issues in my films or in my music. I am not a
political-political person. Except that some
incidents touched me. My songs are about
society, about people who are fighting a lost
battle. About us the middle class who are
somehow surviving. Stories of individuals who
have lost, who are lost. I feel that the times
are very dark and everything is in turmoil,
amidst that I am creating my music. You know,
I dont think that political stability will happen. I
dont think that there will be a time when there
is political stability and everyone is happy.I
believe that the world will remain like this and
art will come out of all this pain and grinding
misery. The times are bad, they will remain
so.
UB: What is your expectation from the JU
audience lsince you ususally perform as
the D-trio at Someplace Else?
Neel Dutt: Well, here people have come to
listen to us, I hope (chuckles) . At Someplace
Else people usually go to drink. So yeah, I think
we shall have a really good time. D-trio has an
intimate set-up but an auditorium is an ideal
place for our music.
UB: How does it feel to be playing with
your father and your teacher. Is it
comfortable?
ND: Oh yeah, it is very comfortable. Both of
them have made an immense contribution to
my music, to my songs. And they are family.
The three of us live in a locality. We are great
friends we hang out together. And the D-trio is
not only about music. It is like an art platform.
Sometimes we recite poetry, there is
instrumental, or we r ead from a diary. We sing
Rabindra Sangeet or talk about film-makers. It
is an art platform celebrating alternative art.
UB: Your response to Kabir Suman
winning the National A ward?
ND: He is a great singer song-writer who
changed Bengali modern music in the 90s. It is
amazing that he has been recognised
nationally and I respect him a lot. I am very
happy for him.
UB: Will you go into performing alone in
the near future?
ND: No, you see. I am more into scoring and
composing. I have been given a lot of offers
but I dont want to perform separately.
Because we have alwa ys performed together
on stage as a father and son. Now another
person has joined us. We also have a
drummer and a bass player performing with us
sometimes. So its a friends-together project.Me doing a solo performance or having
another band is not what I think about right
now. There is too much of music happening.
Different kinds of music. I dont know what I
am going to do separately. I am not a song-
writer. Though I have written songs for films,
I am very happy. Anjan Dutt & the D-Trio speak about Kabir Suman and much more. | University Beats 26-05-2014

but I am not essentially a song-writer. I like
performing with these people. Maybe later, I
dont know. I dont want to do another cover
band. I want to work more behing the camere,
the screen.
UB: We have seen a great influence of
folk, rock and rock and roll in Anjan
Dutts music. So what kind of music
inspires you? What is your favourite
genre?
ND: I have been open to a lot of music. But I
love listening to rock and roll, 60s 70s. That is
a huge favourite of mine.
UB: Thank you, Mr Anjan Dutt, Mr Neel
Dutt and Mr Amyt Datta.

Editors Note:
To begin with, I would like to extend an arm of
gratitude to Mr Anjan Dutt, Mr Amyt Datta and
Mr Neel Dutt for sparing time to speak to our
correspondents. However, we must admit that
it is our much regretted error that we were
unable to interview Mr Amyt Datta during this
rendezvous. While much of this was due to
time constraints, UB regrets this error.
