3X Grammy Award Winner & well-known music composer, Ricky kej has twitted “A few days ago, I conducted a 100-piece British orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to perform India’s National Anthem at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London. This is the largest orchestra ever to record India’s National Anthem and it is spectacular! The “Jaya He” at the end gave me goosebumps. Felt great as an Indian composer :-). I am sharing this historic recording with every one of you this Independence Day – use it, share it, watch it, but with respect 🙂 It is yours now. Jai Hind.
He also twitted “This version of our National Anthem is my gift to the nation. Everyone please feel free to use this recording and video for whatever purposes you want – events, TV, radio, schools, colleges, social media posts, youtube.. whatever. There will be no demand for royalties, money, fee, or even the need to ask permission for use. Just ensure to use it with the respect and dignity that our National Anthem deserves. This version of the National Anthem belongs to you, as much as it belongs to me :-)”
