Navratri, the vibrant Hindu festival celebrated with joy and devotion, is just around the corner. As the nation prepares to welcome the Goddess for her ten-day sojourn at her paternal abode, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has an unexpected delight for everyone. The Prime Minister, known for his leadership and statesmanship, is revealing his creative side by sharing a song he wrote years ago. The song, titled ‘Garbo,’ was recently brought to life with a music video launch on YouTube, sending waves of festive energy across the internet.
The song, ‘Garbo,’ is a peppy number produced by Jjust Music, infusing a celebratory spirit into the hearts of millions. Within just two hours of its release, the song garnered over 189,000 views, demonstrating its widespread appeal.
Jjust Music described the song, saying, “FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER with lyrics penned by none other than the one and only- Narendra Modi, GARBO transports us to witness the dynamic culture of Gujarat during Navratri through Tanishk Bagchi & Dhvani Bhanushali’s musical magic which is directed by Nadeem Shah! So grab your squad, get your dandiyas and ghaghras ready, and let ‘Garbo’ be your Navaratri anthem!”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a surprise move, shared the news of his song’s release on X (formerly Twitter). He expressed his gratitude to Dhvani Bhanushali, Tanishk Bagchi, and the entire team at Jjust Music for their rendition of the Garba he had penned years ago. The Prime Minister also hinted at another song, one he has written recently, which will be unveiled during Navratri.
In his tweet, PM Modi stated, “Thank you @dhvanivinod, Tanishk Bagchi and the team of @Jjust_Music for this lovely rendition of a Garba I had penned years ago! 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. #SoulfulGarba.”
Jackky Bhagnani, another prominent figure, also took to Twitter to celebrate the release of ‘Garbo,’ stating that the track is here to make Navaratri celebrations extra special.
Netizens flooded the comments section with admiration for Prime Minister Modi’s creative endeavor. One user wrote, “Sir, This is yet another feather in your cap…What excellent lyrics in feet of Matarani for NAVRATRI!” Another person commented, “This is Lovely. Music is a universal Language and, as such, speaks to the soul irrespective of language or race. Nice writing prowess, Prime Minister.”
As the nine-day festival of Navratri commences on October 15, 2023, ‘Garbo’ promises to be the perfect musical accompaniment to the festive season, capturing the essence of Navratri’s joy and reverence.
