Listen to ‘Hum Honge Kamyab’ by Metalloid in Partnership With UNESCO
A music video was launched late in August 2020, multi-lingually sung to appreciate the tireless work of the COVID frontliners.
UNESCO New Delhi and Metalloid Productions, in partnership with presenting sponsors DUKES, Wynk Music and Magic Bus, launch the Sounds of Silence – Voices United. Metalloid Production is over a decade old entertainment and media production house in Telangana.
‘Voices United – Hum Honge Kamyab’ is an emotional tribute to all the frontline bravehearts and heroes who've been working tirelessly for our safety and comfort since months now.
Talking about the collaboration, Eric Falt, Director, UNESCO, New Delhi, said, “UNESCO, New Delhi, is delighted to partner with Metalloid Productions, in this initiative. The Preamble to the Constitution of UNESCO states that ‘since wars begin in the minds of men and women, it is in the minds of men and women that the defences of peace must be constructed’. Therefore, in times of constraints and restrictions on our daily routines, we hope that this music will encourage the people to come together to face the current COVID 19 pandemic with valour.”
Portraying the togetherness in these tough times, the immortal song is sung multi-lingually by a number of well-known celebrity singers like Anil Srinivasan, Deepak Pandit, Haricharan, Javed Ali, Karunya, Raghu Dixit, Rasika Shekar, Sathyaprakash, Shillong Chamber Choir, Shilpa Rao, Shweta Mohan, Soham, Taanya Kalsi and Usha Uthup will be singing this track with lyrics in 8 languages – Hindi, English, Bengali, Khasi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil.
“As we battle economic challenges, their emotional impact and the dark uncertainties of COVID-19, we want the music to offer a ray of hope as well as faith in our strength as a nation that stands united cutting across all lines, all differences to fight this,” stated Ravinder Agarwal, Managing Director, Dukes India.
Since the past few months, Dukes has been unwavering in their solidarity with the nation. From each of their employees contributing a day’s salary to the PM Cares Fund, donating blood or distributing free biscuits to frontline healthcare workers and feeding stranded migrants, every act has been an affirmation of their mission to spread joy.
The beautiful track is a contemporary, multi-lingual version of an old classic produced by Metalloid Productions to instil a sense of community and restore incomes of 2,00,000 families and keep 3,00,000 children in school.
Pritish Kollati, CMD, Metalloid Productions, explained, “Independent India has not faced as big a challenge as we have in the last few months. The pandemic, the economy crashing, the migrants-crisis, the possibility of war and lives lost have left us, collectively, in a very dark place. We recomposed this song to try and lift the mood of the nation and make it the Nation’s Anthem of Hope! We thank the artists, our sponsor Dukes India and partner UNESCO, New Delhi, for trusting us and playing a key role in bringing this project to life.”
