Every year, ace composer-producers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant’s Bhoomi brings together voices, traditions and sounds that celebrate the depth and richness of Indian music. Now in its sixth season, Bhoomi introduces its second release, Shringaar, a classical pop song featuring Shankar Mahadevan. What makes this track special is that, for the first time, these maestros have come together for Bhoomi, offering a heartfelt homage to their mentor, the late Ustad Zakir Hussain Sahab. 


Shringaar beautifully tells the story of a lover expressing to his beloved that her natural beauty needs no adornment. The lyrics go, “Kaahe Kare Shringaar Sajaniya, Jag Tope Jaaye Vaar Sajaniya…” For this, Salim-Sulaiman turned to Shankar Mahadevan, whose effortless versatility and command over classical music made him the natural choice for the song. Their dream was to pair that voice with the artistry of Ustad Zakir Hussain.
