World Music Day

The core purpose of World Music Day, since its inception in France in 1982, is to:

•       Democratise Music: The primary goal is to make music accessible to everyone. Encouraging free public performances removes economic and social barriers, allowing people from all walks of life to experience live music.
•          Promote Musical Diversity: It encourages the celebration of all genres and forms of music, from classical to contemporary and folk to fusion, and showcases the rich tapestry of musical expressions around the world.
•          Encourage Participation: The day isn't just for listening; it actively encourages people to "Make Music". This includes seasoned musicians, aspiring artists, and even those who've never played an instrument to engage with music creatively.
•          Foster Community and Connection: By bringing musicians and audiences together in shared public spaces, World Music Day strengthens community bonds and highlights music's power to unite people and bridge cultural divides.
•          Support Musicians: It provides a platform for both established and emerging artists to showcase their talents and connect with a wider audience.

ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ, ರಾಗ ಸಂಯೋಜನೆ, ಕೀಬೋರ್ಡ್ - ಜಗದೀಶ ಚಂದ್ರ 

(ಹಳೆಯ ಹಿಂದಿ ಚಿತ್ರಗೀತೆಯೊಂದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರೇರಿತವಾದ ಧಾಟಿ)

Lyrics, Music composition and Keyboard - Jagadeesha Chandra

The tune is inspired from an old Hindi film hit song

ರಾಗದಿ ಹಾಡಿದ ಈ ನುಡಿಯು  

ಹೊಸ ಹೊಸ ಭಾವನೆ ತಂದಿಹುದು 

ಕೇಳುವ ಕಿವಿಗಳಿಗಿಂಪೆರೆದು 

ಮಧುರ ಸಂಗೀತ ಮೂಡಿಹುದು //

ಕೋಗಿಲೆ ಕಂಠದಿ ಸೇರಿಹುದು 

ನೀರಿನ ಅಲೆಯಲಿ ತೇಲಿಹುದು 

ದುಂಬಿಯ ಝೇಂಕಾರ ನಾದ 

ಹಕ್ಕಿಯ ಕಲರವದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿ 

ಏನೋ ಹೊಸತನು ತಂದಿಹುದು 

ಮಧುರ ಸಂಗೀತ ಮೂಡಿಹುದು //

ಮೂಡಣ ಬಾನಿನ ಉಷೆಯಂತೆ 

ಸಂಧ್ಯಾ ಕಾಲದ ಬಾನಂತೆ 

ಮನ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸ ಮೂಡಿಸಿಹುದು 

ಅರಳಿದ ಹೊಸ ಹೊಸ ಸುಮಗಳಲಿ 

ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಕಂಪನು ತಂದಿಹುದು 

ಮಧುರ ಸಂಗೀತ ಮೂಡಿಹುದು //
