An Indian musical group has given a beautiful present to Pakistan as the neighbouring country celebrates its 70th Independence Day on Monday. Voxchord, an Indian acapella group has sung Pak’s national anthem, Pak Sarzamin. The video was uploaded by the group on Friday and has already garnered more than 57,000 views on YouTube.
Voxchord has seven members. The two-minute video begins with the group members holding up placards that say, “This Independence Day, we’d like to dedicate a song to our neighbours. A song about faith, pride and grandeur, of power, progress and perfection.”
As reported by Scroll, Voxchord uses the acapella technique that emphasises on the stirring lyrics, which have hues of Persian poetic vocabulary but are primarily in Urdu.
Watch the video here:
The effort was applauded by Pak media. “The surprise offering comes just days before Aug 14 and features the singers in a monochrome video. Free of any instruments, the song is quite a treat to listen to”, Pak newspaper Dawn reported.
The group also got much appreciation from Twitter users of both the countries.
