Sound Tree Media Announces 'Sing Swaraj', a Musical Tribute on Gandhi Jayanti

NEW DELHI, October 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



A Unique Blend of Musicians Coming Together to Interpret Swaraj



Sound Tree Media, a strategic music marketing and promotion company focussed on Indian
independent music, announces 'Sing Swaraj' - a first-of-its-kind musical convergence to
explore and celebrate self governance and the independent fabric synonymous with Mahatma
Gandhi through music. Sing Swaraj is a celebration of the freedom of thought, self
goverance and Swaraj that for instance Indie musicians practice with their free spirited
music. This music concert will feature artists like singer-songwriter Dhruv Viswanath
Trio, Harpreet, three-piece Urdu rock band Ilhaam, MAP, Astitva, Raagleela, L for
Vendetta, Takar Nabam ensemble, Perfect Harmony and many more.



Speaking on the occasion, Ashutosh Bhattacharya, CEO, Sound Tree Media, said, "Sing
Swaraj is a first of its kind celebration of Mahatma. I like to govern myself on the
principals of Mahatma Gandhi and our industry is full of young talented indie
(independent) musicians, creating music on their own and struggling to promote it in this
highly Bollywood influenced market. These talented musicians practice 'Swaraj' and stand
by it. Also, given the fast paced Americanisation, we felt that Mahatma has been lost
somewhere, and needs revival by embracing the present and new way of thinking - that's
what prompted us to come up with this amalgamation of Mahtama Gandhi and Music to promote
the Gandhian values and attempt to make this day more than a mere national holiday."



The event will bring together indie artists from various genres who will create a
spectacular ambience with their music bringing together people across cultures,
communities and religion. Music of all art forms is a unifier and will serve this very
purpose of spreading the message of unity and togetherness.



Thrilled about the event, Rudraksh Banerji from L for Vendetta said, "The method
Gandhi adopted was of non-violence and peaceful non-cooperation and that is the crux of
any form of musical expression. Sing Swaraj is a one of a kind concept by Sound Tree which
instead of making an effort to force down the concept of Swaraj, celebrates it through
music."



"Sing Swaraj is one opportunity for us to break free. It gives us a sense of freedom,
confidence to work for upliftment of society and this initiative by Sound Tree is
definitely one of its kind and we would love to have many other days which brings together
artists and communicates through music," said Zamaan from Astitva who will also be
performing at the event.



The concert is scheduled for 2nd October, 2013, 12:30pm onwards at Dilli Haat, INA
market, New Delhi.
