“At DRecords we want to bring forth the talented youth of the country responsibly. India is brimming with talent. And this talent is focusing on and is being ushered, honed, nurtured into the done to death environs of popular music – the mainstream Bollywood way. We want to do things a little differently –
- We belong to a culturally rich country, but how many of us know by hearts these strots or a beautiful ayat, nazm, or a shabad from Gurbani, or a tarana? However we all have memorized consciously or sub consciously the galassies or the kala chasmas. Our objective is to secure and preserve our literary heritage, language and music through projects that entice the youth, the kids, the middle aged and the elders. In other words, there will be something for every age group.It’s a long way but we are enjoying every bit of this experience.
- Continue providing a platform to budding artists and collaborating with established, renowned artists and create something spectacular.
We at DRecords just want to restore faith of our youth and even the middle aged into this rich heritage of culture and tradition and are seeking all the love and support from our audiences, ” explains Taran Mehndi.
How did the children take to Sanskrit?
Lovely studies in class 2 and Krishna in class 5. They found the Sanskrit a little challenging especially the succeeding verses where Pandit ji, Ashwani and Mady help. But their efforts are commendable and we at the label want to go all out to support their first venture.
This is our second such attempt. Our Company’s first child performance and the youngest child’s performance was by a 12 month old girl Rabaab Kaur Mehndi, daughter of Daler and Taran Mehndi, who debuted with her dad at that tender age with a lovely verse “Dhan Guru Nanak” from the album “Baba Nanak Mere Naal” .
On this auspicious occasion of the Navratras, we are pleased to present The powerful song of praise – the Vindhyavasini Strot featuring our new finds Krishna and Lovely.
Is it given that if you have a musician in the family, your child also would be one?
It’s a misconception that a singer’s child will be a brilliant singer. We have met talents who have no one in their families or generations in this field. Music like any art form is one of the most beautiful gifts from the Almighty. Those who embrace this gift with humility and work on it as though their life depended upon it, outshine.
