Indian Artists Come together to Commemorate World Environment Day in song

MUMBAI: To support the United Nations Environmental Programme's World Environment Day celebrations, Wizcraft International Entertainment has created a song along with Shubha Mudgal, Debojyoti Mishra and Sam Panchamukhi for the upcoming, World Environment Day. Together, the three artists have infused their true feeling about the environment in the song. Earlier this week, IIFA and UNEP have struck a partnership in a bid to protect the environment by saving forests.

When asked about her feeling towards the environment, singer, Shubha Mudgal said, Music has always been used as a powerful tool for communicating important messages to members of the public. I therefore feel fortunate to have been invited to lend my voice to a song on a subject of such compelling importance, composed by Debojyoti Mishra, a composer of great eminence and brilliance and a human being with great sensitivity and concern for the human race. My thanks also to the lyricist Sam Panchmukhi for writing lyrics that convey the message with simplicity but with great effect. ...

Encouraging people all over the world to participate in World Environment Day (WED) helps to reach out to the public on an individual basis, enabling each person to take responsibility and in turn action, against the deterioration of the environment. Public Service Announcements have also been made where friends of IIFA, Priyanka Chopra and Rahul Bose, have extended their support toward this noble cause. Priyanka has pledged to plant one tree for every activity registered in her name, while Rahul, having seen her pledge, has raised the stakes by pledging to plant two trees for every activity registered in his name.

Debojyoti Mishra, famous for his exceptional work in the film, Raincoat, has provided the music for the composition mentioned, I am confident that this song will make one think and wonder about the wonders of nature and the immense potential we have to make a positive difference. Along with the voices and reverberations one would feel instigated to awaken one's inner conscience to take action for our environment....

Sam Panchamukhi from Wizcraft International talks about what inspired him to write the lyrics of the song, I feel gratitude, immense gratitude towards nature for giving me life, for filling my senses with its fragrance, for colouring my life with its beauty, for making every moment truly and unconditionally spiritual. Sometimes I wonder how we could take all of this for granted! Writing this song was my way of making the world experience what we have. Let's not lose it for anything. I thank UNEP for giving me this opportunity to make a difference."

World Environment Day (WED), celebrated every year on the 5th of June, is a worldwide celebration of pro-environment activities. Initiated in 1972 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), WED has grown into the largest medium of raising awareness about the environment and the issues that put it at risk.
