The announcement has added to the anticipation around the tribute, which Rahman had conceived as a celebration of Asha Bhosle’s immense contribution to music. The composer had previously revealed that the project was initially conceptualised when Bhosle was still alive. In June, he shared a glimpse of the tribute on X, describing it as a project created to bring together musicians, traditions and sounds from across the world in honour of the legendary singer.
Rahman had written, “On this World Music Day, we celebrate a voice that has transcended generations, languages, and borders. This tribute began as a dream while Asha Bhosle ji was still with us. We had hoped she would witness the love and gratitude this project carries. Around the world, we celebrate musical legends. We are blessed to have one of our own, an artist whose voice became the soundtrack of countless lives. The most meaningful tribute felt like bringing together different musicians, traditions, and sounds to celebrate her extraordinary legacy. This is our humble offering to Asha ji. May her music continue to inspire hearts for generations to come. Today, we share a glimpse of this journey with the teaser. The full tribute will be unveiled soon. We hope you all receive it with the same love with which it was created.”
