“The
earth has music for those who listen...”
“Mother
Earth has given us so much, and as artistes, we have felt the need to give back
what we got. Hence, we looked at setting up a record label that would help us
pay an ode to Mother Earth in our own, melodious way. What else could be more
apt than a way to celebrate the creative spirit of art with earth music,” echo
the legendary musical duo Bhupinder Singh and Mitali Singh as they bring to the
music world, Bhumitaal Music, their latest melodious platform.
Aptly
christened by veteran lyricist Gulzar, the word Bhumitaal embraces the totality
of the thought of the duo, and their long-going aspirations to celebrate the
art and cultures of the whole Earth.
“As artists of course we believe in music
beyond boundaries. Bhumitaal Music strives to bring world music to the Indian
audiences with international collaborations, fascinating fusion and also
lending global talent into the Indian music scenario and film industry alike,”
feels Mitali Singh.
The
maiden album from Bhumitaal Music is Dil Peer Hai, that boasts of compositions
by Bhupinder Singh, lyrics by Gulzar with the voices of stalwarts Mitali Singh,
Sonu Nigam and Rashid Khan with young talents Vaishakhi Desai Dave and Shivangi
Desai. “With Dil Peer Hai, we unravel the first talents Vaishakhi Desai Dave
and Shivangi Desai, whom Bhumitaal Music
is introducing to the world of professional music. Simple and soulful, the duo
holds immense promise.
“My
compositions are not easy to render, but these talented children did total
justice to the songs,” avers Bhupinder Singh. “In Dil Peer Hai, Amandeep Singh
has rendered his voice and played the solo guitar parts as well.” The album
also has Gulzar narrating the lyrics of Kya Dhoondta Hai, again an amazing
experience in itself.
Says
Shivangi Desai, “I felt very touched when we were chosen as the first duo to be
rendering our voices to Bhumitaal Music. I have tried my best to do justice to
the songs. It was a great learning experience for me.”
Adds
Vaishakhi Desai Dave, “I live abroad and have met Bhupinder-Mitaliji as a
child. When they heard my songs and wanted us to sing Bhupinder ji’s
compositions, I was in shock. It was like an unexpected jolt of happiness. I
have worked hard on the songs, each of which is unique in its own way.”
Feels
Gulzar, “Bhupinder is an amazing composer. He has composed my lyrics from the
eighties and he is the only composer who has dared to compose my blank verses.
He breathes life into my verses. Most of my non-filmi lyrics are composed by
Bhupinder and sung by Bhupinder and Mitali.”
Consorting
with the two on their seamless creations through Bhumitaal Music, will be new
talents, representative, emerging voices of Mother Earth. Bhumitaal Music aims
to hone their artistic excellence by bringing young talents together. Bhumitaal
Music is also looking at a musical extravaganza that bridges the gap between
genres, stalwarts and novices, the classical and the cutting-edge, the
performers and the audiences alike.
Let
us listen to Dil Peer Hai... Be one with Bhumitaal!
