Aditya Gadhvi is a playback singer and lyricist from Gujarat, India. He has rendered numerous chart-topping songs in various Indian languages. He is involved in Gujarati film scoring and has released a number of singles.
I was first introduced to Aditya Gadhvi’s Charan Kanya — a song inspired by folklore about a young shepherd girl who saved her calf from a lion – a few years ago by my father, a long-time admirer of the folk tradition in Gujarati music. At eighteen, however, my ignorance, naivete, and perhaps an unfounded disregard for the culture, language, and traditions to which I belonged paid little heed to the depth and vastness it had to offer. For a long time—I realise now—I had been too caught up with Mumbai’s cosmopolitanism and completely out of entirely with my native language.
Years later, today, I wince at that ignorance. When Coke Studio Bharat’s Khalasi took the world by storm, I realised how much I had been missing. I’ve been stuck in a rabbit hole since—incessantly listening to ‘This Is Aditya Gadhvi’ on Spotify, reconnecting with my language and traditions, and trying to make up for lost time. In a full circle moment, I had the pleasure of chatting with the Gujarati artist in between moments of his shows to learn about his tryst with music as the fervour of Navaratri takes over the country. Our conversation is only just the tip of the iceberg into the kind person he is, his purpose, and his unabashed love for folk traditions.
At the time, because of the type of my voice, people would ask me to sing Sufi songs—which I did. But I was also very clear that I wanted to sing Gujarati folk. The difficulty was to explain it to large audiences. With YouTube, I realised that I didn’t need to go to a record label. If I believed in my music, I should be able to put it out there on my own,” Gadhvi explains, “That’s when I thought of creating works like Hansla, with videos that would resonate with the younger generation. Even then, I didn’t know whether this would work, but it became very popular—without changing or harming the original work and expression of the literature.”
