Celebrating the spirit of patriotism and freedom on India’s 76th Independence Day, the brand new music company Eternal Sounds (helmed by Utsav Parekh, Gaurang Jalan, Mayank Jalan and Bickram Ghosh), presents a stirring new anthem, “Yeh Desh!” composed by the illustrious Maestro Bickram Ghosh. This monumental musical tribute captures the essence of India’s rich history and vibrant progress, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity.
“Yeh Desh!” stands as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Bickram Ghosh, an Oscar Contender and recipient of the esteemed Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee. Merging the talents of seasoned musical legends and emerging voices, this anthem boasts a unique symphony of voices and instruments, rarely witnessed before.
A harmonious convergence of legends and contemporary stars marks the anthem’s essence. Musical luminaries such as Hariharan, Richa Sharma, Shaan, Kavita Seth, and Mahalakshmi Iyer lend their extraordinary voices alongside the rising sensations of Indian Idol – Rishi Singh, Debosmita Roy, Chirag Kotwal, Bidipta Chakraborty, Senjuti Das, and Super Star Singer’s Mohd.

The instrumental prowess featured in “Yeh Desh!” is equally remarkable, with Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt on Mohan Veena, Pandit Ronu Majumdar on flute, Shri Purbayan Chatterjee on sitar, Shri Rajesh Vaidya on veena and Maestro Bickram Ghosh himself on tabla & percussions.
Complementing the enchanting melodies is a captivating visual representation directed by artist and filmmaker Indrajit Nattoji.
