Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 29: An epic version of the Indian National Anthem conceptualized by Grammy winner Ricky Kej with Kolkata-based cultural activist Sundeep Bhutoria as the associate producer, has set a new landmark by entering the Guinness Book of World records as the “Largest Singing Lesson” featuring a choir of nearly 14,000 tribal children from Odisha who performed together at the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The video also features living musical legends of India – Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Rakesh Chaurasia, Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash, Rahul Sharma, Jayanthi Kumaresh, Sheik & Kaleeshabi Mahaboob, Giridhar Udupa and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of UK.
“This project is a true celebration of India’s unity in diversity and marks a significant achievement in the realm of musical collaboration and cultural representation. The collaboration of such legendary artists with thousands of children from Odisha sends a powerful message to the world about the strength of our cultural heritage. It has been an honour to be part of this historic moment,” said Sundeep Bhutoria, the Trustee of Prabha Khaitan Foundation, who has been promoting India’s cultural heritage globally.
