Namaste and hello to all, Greetings from the Shruti family! On behalf of the Shruti Foundation and the Shruti School of Music, I am so proud for this projest. "Nightingale" – A compilation of songs for the next generation. During the lockdown, many of us were confined at home, and our social activities were severely restricted. Netflix and Zoom became our constant companions. Our children faced challenges in engaging in activities and finding fun things to do. As a father of a seven-year-old son, I understand how much he has missed out on during this time. In May, by God's grace, I had the idea to produce a music album for our kids to encourage their creativity and nurture their natural talents. I hoped this project would allow us to remember the pandemic in a positive way. I am immensely grateful to all the members of the Shruti School of Music and the Shruti Foundation, as well as the parents for their support. A special thanks goes to my friend from Mumbai, Debasish Bhattacherjee, who agreed to co-produce, arrange, mix, and master this album. Last but not least, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to the kids: Aditeya, Maatangi, Shaan, Sahil, Krishiv, Kinnari, Avani, Savan, Meenakshi, Karina, and Kavi. They did a wonderful job singing their parts, bringing so much joy to this project. They recorded videos, learned the music, and demonstrated pure love and passion for music in a way I've never experienced before. Thank you all for your support, friendship, and belief in me. We look forward to celebrating together, virtually and in spirit, uniting the world through the power of music and the arts. Best wishes, Shankh Lahiri Founder and Director of Shruti Foundation & Shruti School of Music (a non-profit organization) Wahh World Fusion Band Shankh and Friends (A Global Project)
