Together Rax Timyr and Kishan Amin planned this melodious, emotional track aiming to target audiences and generations across the world. The powerful and uplifting vibe convey a sense of pride about Indian motherland, the heritage home as British born Indians. Brought up surrounded by influences and lifestyles of both western and Indian nature, they all hold a strong understanding and sentiment towards India art, culture and love for Indian music. The enchanting lyrics of Meri Maa’ were writing by Mumbai-based writer Sunil Sirvaiya. Meri Maa also received huge guidance and advice from musician, violinist and string arranger Violin Chandru, guru and father of Ambika Jois.
“Meri Maa (Vande Mataram) carries the purpose of representing the significance of India, our motherland, to her citizens and to remind and restore the importance of our cultural heritage to Indians settled within India and abroad. We are dedicating this song as a gratitude to how we have been raised with Indian values by our parents and to all those who have inspired us to recognize, realize and represent our heritage. We were greatly inspired by AR Rahman’s “Maa Tujhe Salaam” from his 1997 Vande Mataram album, and with “Meri Maa” we hope to bring back that sense of patriotism to our people” – Joint quote
