Indian A Capella Band Sings Pakistan's National Anthem As An Independence Day 'Gift'

As India and Pakistan both gear up to celebrate their 70th Independence Day this week, a group of Indian a capella singers from the band Voxchord have a heartwarming present for our neighbours. 

 

 

In a beautiful video, the band teamed up with The Voice of Ram and released a music video wherein they’re singing Pakistan’s national anthem ‘Pak Sarzamin’. A capella is a style of singing in which the artistes create supporting sounds through their mouths, and instruments are not used.

 

 

This rendition comes with the emotional message, in which the singers 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.”

 

 

The 2-minute video almost instantly went viral, and though there were a few condemning voices, the reaction has been largely positive, with both Indians and Pakistanis commending the band for the beautiful gesture. The Pakistani media too lauded the band for their “surprise offering” before the Independence Day.
