Destrix Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Amid COVID-19 lockdown and in an attempt to send a message of communal harmony, renowned classical singer Ustad Rashid Khan has decided to go digital to mesmerise his audience through various social media platforms. He has also composed three ‘bhajans’ (devotional songs) written by Narayan Jha Agarwal. Ustad Rashid Khan said, “There is a lockdown everywhere and therefore I have decided to go digital. My son helped me in setting up the digital platform. I think through this digital platform, I will be able to stand with the nation in spreading the message of love and brotherhood. There is nothing to distress people through music and it will be a small contribution from my side to my beloved India.” He said, “I have composed couple of bhajans including ‘yeh andhiyara mith jayega, raat nahi rehne wali, jago jago utkar dekho.. purab main ayi lali’ (This darkness will go, it’s not going to remain forever, woke up and see there is a sunrise). Another two bhajans, which I composed were ‘dheere dheere re mana’ and ‘subah ho shaam tera naam japu’. These are wonderful bhajans and perfectly suitable for current pandemic situation in the world.” The musical maestro already recorded songs for the much-awaited annual ‘Sankat Mochan Sangeet Samaroh’ (music and dance festivals) at the Sankat Mochan temple. This year the musical festival will be held from April 12 to 17 and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
