Coke Studio Bangla unveiled its sixth track of Season 3 on Thursday night, titled ‘Moha Jadu’, a spellbinding blend of Bangla mysticism and Farsi poetry that explores love as a powerful, transformative force.

The 4:14-minute song marks the much-anticipated debut of acclaimed music producer and composer Habib Wahid on the Coke Studio Bangla platform. Wahid not only composed, arranged, and produced the track, but also handled the mixing and mastering.

‘Moha Jadu’ is rooted in the spiritual verses of Baul poet Shah Khowaj Mia, a disciple of the revered mystic Durbin Shah. The song also features original Farsi lyrics by Hadis Dehgan, creating a cross-cultural lyrical fusion. Tajikistani vocalist Mehrnigori Rustam lends her voice to the track, making her first appearance for a Bangladeshi audience.

Habib Wahid reimagines the poetic verses through a vibrant electronic-folk arrangement, continuing his signature style of blending traditional Baul influences with modern electronic music. The accompanying music video, directed by Adnan Al Rajeev, reflects Coke Studio Bangla’s ongoing focus on vivid storytelling and cultural depth in its third season.

According to producers, ‘Moha Jadu’ draws attention to the historical and artistic connections between Bengal and Persian traditions. The song’s title—‘Jadu’ (meaning ‘magic’ in both Bangla and Farsi)—serves as a symbolic bridge between the two cultures, reinforcing shared themes of mysticism and devotion.

The track also highlights how Persian, once the court language of Bengal, continues to shape the region’s artistic and linguistic legacy, echoing through its music, poetry, and philosophy.

With ‘Moha Jadu’, Wahid continues his journey of modernising Baul music for new generations, breathing fresh life into ancient verses while preserving their spiritual essence.
