With the fifth season of well-known net series Money Heist hitting Netflix screens, Bella Ciao is on everyone’s thoughts. Hitting the suitable note, Mumbai Police has come up with an instrumental rendition of Bella Ciao by the police band.
In videos shared by the city police on its Twitter and Instagram handles and YouTube web page, members of the band, clad in khaki, can be seen playing the iconic tune on saxophones, trumpets, conga drums and other instruments.
“Liked the trailer of #BellaCiao this morning? You will surely love the bigger picture! Afterall, Khaki makes everything even better,” Mumbai Police stated in the Twitter post.

In one more video uploaded on Instagram, the band members can be seen practising the tune.
“Always trying not to miss out on detections nor on trends & tractions. We’ll be here, never letting the season of safety end, while you race against time to finish this one. #KhakiStudio planning to pull a heist on your heart one more time with #BellaCiao,” the caption study.
Bella Ciao is an Italian protest folk song dating back to the late 19th century when ladies workers in paddy fields, who had been identified as mondina, would sing it to describe their hardships.
During the second World War, the song was modified and utilized by the anti-fascist Partisan movement in Italy.
More lately, the song was sung at anti-Brexit protests and also at the farmers’ protest at the Delhi border.
Under the Khaki Studio initiative launched earlier this year, the Mumbai police band has also performed the James Bond theme music and a rendition of A R Rahman’s Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire.
