Actor, Musician and Video Jockey, Luke Kenny has been donning multiple hats with ease for over a decade. But yet the perception of his ethnicity keeps varying among popular opinion. Often mistaken for being a Non-Indian, Mumbai-bred Luke nonchalantly shuts off cynics by speaking in chaste Hindi and Marathi. His omnipresent Indianness is reflective in his latest track, 'Bappa Ke Waaste' which incidentally, has been penned, composed and performed by Luke himself. With production, arrangement and instrumentation by Anurag Shanker and mixing and mastering by Tejas Narayan, 'Bappa Ke Waaste' is Luke's labour of love for the city and the festival, he holds the dearest.Radio City Freedom caught up with the musician for a quick chat.How did you conceptualise 39Bappa Ke Waaste39?I39ve been listening to the various popular Ganpati themed songs that have been released over the years which have made it to films as well. I then realised that there hadn39t been an independent song that was ever done that did not revel in the devotional aspect of it. I wanted to do a fun yet reverent enough song that captured the spirit of the individual as he or she displayed the fervour and faith during the ten days of the festival. Hence the emotion of dancing for Bappa.Having been born and bred in Mumbai, what are your fondest memories of the Ganesh festival?One of the great things about the festival is that it has always been a universal emotion. It has never been a communal display of power. Young and old from all walks of life celebrate the symbolism of strength and the overcoming of personal and professional obstacles through the manifestation of Ganesha.What do you think about the relentless commercialisation that dents the image of the festivities?I would like to think that the people are well beyond the manipulation of the same and while year on year the politics and the bureaucracy tend to coax and cajole the common man into religious submission, the upright Indian is smart enough to disregard the illusion of fundamentalistic propaganda.Why aren39t you making more music and films? Is it a conscious decision to be low-key?Technology and the Internet has changed the Indian business for film and music tremendously. While it has democratised the content, it has also raised the challenges with regard to the economics that come with it. However Marketing remains a constant and it is there where the biggest financial challenges lie.Lastly, how do you plan to celebrate the Ganesh festival, this year?As always, with the exchange of goodwill, happy wishes, tasty Modaks and of course, dancing in the street.You can listen to 'Bappa Ke Waaste', this Ganesh Chaturthi on Radio City Freedom at the start of every hour.
