On Saturday, a music video based on a Garba song written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was released ahead of the Navratri celebrations. PM Modi posted on his X timeline that the 190-second song published today was written by him years ago. The song, titled ‘Garbo,’ was published under the banner of Jjust Music, a music company owned by actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani. It was voiced by vocalist Dhvani Bhanushali and composed by Tanishk Bagchi.
The PM also revealed that he has managed to write a new Garba in the last few days, which he will release at the upcoming Navratri.
“It does bring back many memories. I have not written for many years now but I did manage to write a new Garba over the last few days, which I will share during Navratri,” PM Modi tweeted on X.
In his response to Bhanushali’s tweet, the Prime Minister thanked Bhanushali, Bagchi and the team of Jjust Music for the “lovely rendition” of the Garba he had “penned years ago.”
Bhanushali in her tweet said composer Tanishk Bagchi and she loved the Garba penned by the prime minister and they “wanted to make a song with a fresh rhythm, composition and flavour.” They also thanked the music label for helping them “bring this song and video to life.”
The ‘Garbo’ song had over 240,000 views in just three hours after it was posted on the music label’s YouTube account. In many regions of India, Navratri is one of the most famous and highly celebrated Hindu festivals. Gujarat, on the other hand, is the only state that hosts a nine-night dance festival, maybe the longest in the world.
People from the state’s towns and cities congregate in open spaces to celebrate for nine nights in a row.Stories of Lord Krishna’s ties with the Gopis, as well as their emotions, are frequently incorporated into ras garba music.
