VIDEO: This Indian classical version of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’ is going viral

Praveen Prathapan, Janan Sathiendran and Mahesh Raghvan  have come up  with an Indian classical version of the peppy song. Using the flute and  electric tunes of the Geoshred along with the beats of tabla, the three  young musicians try to weave in magic but we are not totally impressed,  given the high bar Raghvan has set in the past. Apart for the signature  Despactico tunes, the attempt to Indianise a Spanish song seems a bit  forced. Raghvan has given us treasured Indian version of hit songs before and  often one has been found guilty of listening to them on loop, GOT’s  Indian version — didn’t we all just love it? Be it the Indian cover for  Adele’s Hello or Indian version of F.R.I.E.N.D.S’ theme song or his latest rendition to Shape of You’s Carnatic version, he has mesmerised us on numerous occasions before. But somehow it didn’t work this time.
