As yet another Gandhi Jayanthi has passed us by, twenty-five musicians and artists came together to sing a patriotic song that would rekindle the spirit of our freedom fighters and our incredibly strong soldiers. In their attempt to honor the sacrifices that our soldiers make for us every day, by choosing the cold and dry against the warmth of their families, just so we could live in a country that is sovereign and safe, as well as the sacrifices made by those before us, our freedom fighters whose never-ending zeal for independence gave us this luxurious freedom that we enjoy today, various singers, musuc composers, lyricysts and more came together to create this incredible song called ‘Meri Maati’
The song was put together by composer Roshan D’Souza Angelore to a tune that was composed in the year 2012 and was produced by Dilraj Rodrigues, Jossie and Lona Mendonca. The extremely talented lyricist Sanjeev Sarathie has also participated in the making of the song. The song has been created keeping in mind the sacrifices, and the kind of committment that our nations’ heroes have chosen to keep our country safe and to make the citizens of our nation proud. Therefore, ‘Meri Maati’ hopes to invoke in people, a renewed sense of pride, a stronger sense of patriotism and a much stronger sense of gratitude to all those who laid their lives down for the hope of their descendents being free and independent some day in the-then far future.
