‘Sunn Beliya’: Shreya Ghoshal and Afroto’s Coke Studio Song are Perfect Mix of Culture, Language and Style! (Watch Video)
The release of 'Sunn Beliya' follows 'Be Who You Are (Real Magic)' this year’s COKE STUDIO anthem by Grammy-award-winning American musician, Jon Batiste featuring NewJeans, JID, Camilo and Cat Burns.
Playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, who has teamed up with Alexandrian rapper and songwriter, Afroto for a new single ''Sunn Beliya'', has said that it's a beautiful seamless confluence of two different cultures, languages, and styles. The song is a part of the impressive Coke Studio 2023 lineup of releases. This unlikely combination brings together Shreya's vocals and phrasing, with Afroto's boundary-pushing sense of melody and beats. Speaking of her collaboration with Afroto, Shreya said: “I am very excited to have done a global collaboration like this for the first time ever.
