3XGrammy Award Winner Ricky Kej makes Guinness World Record by creating a monumental version of our Indian National Anthem – A celebration for a New Bharat

After conducting the largest ever Symphony Orchestra (100-piece Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, UK) to perform the Indian National Anthem at Abbey Road Studios, London in 2023, Indian Music Composer and 3X Grammy Winner Ricky Kej has taken the celebration of a new Bharat to unprecedented heights by breaking a Guinness World Record. Building on his previous achievement, Ricky Kej has assembled an extraordinary ensemble of Indian living legends, culminating in a ground-breaking musical experience of the Indian National Anthem.

Ricky Kej in collaboration with Dr. Achyuta Samanta has recorded a choir of 14,000 tribal children from Odisha, creating an awe-inspiring choir that performed together in one location at the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

“We have so much to learn from these communities” said Kej. “Their deep connection with nature and sustainable living practices are lessons the world needs to embrace.”

The recording will be released on the 14th of August (eve of India’s Independence) at 5 pm across all streaming platforms, YouTube and Ricky Kej’s social media accounts.
This announcement was made at The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, which recently celebrated a significant milestone, reinforcing its position as an embodiment of Indian Exceptionalism.
